We'd gather around all in a room fasten our belts engage in dialogue
Utopia by Alanis Morissette
We'd all slow down rest without guilt not lie without fear disagree sans judgement
We would stay and respond and expand and include and allow and forgive and
Enjoy and evolve and discern and inquire and accept and admit and divulge and
Open and reach out and speak up
This is utopia this is my utopia
This is my ideal my end in sight
Utopia this is my utopia
This is my nirvana
My ultimate
We'd open our arms we'd all jump in we'd all coast down into safety nets
We would share and listen and support and welcome be propelled by passion not
invest in outcomes we would breathe and be charmed and amused by difference
be gentle and make room for every emotion
We'd provide forums we'd all speak out we'd all be heard we'd all feel seen
We'd rise post-obstacle more defined more grateful we would heal be humbled
and be unstoppable we'd hold close and let go and know when to do which we'd
release and disarm and stand up and feel safe
This is utopia this is my utopia
This is my ideal my end in sight
Utopia this is my utopia
This is my nirvana
My ultimateI've heard of this song, long ago, but I misunderstood the meaning of this song, especially the word 'nirvana'. I loved the melody, loved the arrangement, but not that word.
The name 'Utopia' was brought out again by a friend, he mentioned about the moment we had had was like 'Utopia', sung by Alan morissette.... what was that moment?
The moment of:
We'd gather around all in a room fasten our belts engage in dialogue
We'd all slow down, rest, without guilt, not lie, without fear, disagree without judgement; forgive, evolve and discern, inquire and accept and admit and divulge and open and reach out and speak up .... just as what written in the lyrics.
Oh, then I start thinking about the moment, the topic, the talk, the people, the understanding, the open, the speak up ... then the enlightenment ...erm.... a day after. I had this moment - Utopia, has engraved in my memory.
