State Of Independence

Vangelis Vangelis

The Spiritual Journey to Independence

Vangelis' song "State of Independence" is a profound exploration of spiritual freedom and self-realization. The lyrics are rich with metaphors and cultural references, creating a tapestry that speaks to the universal quest for inner peace and enlightenment. The opening lines, "State of life-may I live-may I love," set the tone for a journey of self-discovery and love. The mention of different cultures, such as Siamese and Tibetan, suggests a global perspective on this journey, emphasizing that the quest for independence and enlightenment is a universal human experience.

The song delves into the idea of freedom derived from a meditative state, as seen in the lines, "Coming up-Carabi-this sense of freedom / Derives from a meditative State." This highlights the importance of mindfulness and inner peace in achieving true independence. The repeated phrase "Shablam idi Shablam ida" serves as a mantra, reinforcing the meditative and spiritual nature of the song. The essence of the word and the flame of Oroladin symbolize the inner light and truth that guide one towards a state of independence.

The lyrics also touch on the power of love and connection, with lines like "Love like a signal you call / Touching my body my soul." This suggests that love is a crucial component of spiritual freedom, acting as a bridge between individuals and their higher selves. The repeated affirmation, "This state of independence shall be," serves as a powerful declaration of faith in the eventual realization of this spiritual state. The song's message is timeless, reminding listeners that the journey to independence is both a personal and collective endeavor, rooted in love, truth, and inner peace.
