Lyrics
The wind that will bring me Out to you Is a wind that gets singing Whipping at the tune The same wind comes rushing That later lays low And it pulls at my edges Then continues to blow Keep on the horizon Keep on the horizon Keep on the horizon It brings hail from old water And a storm on its knees And flags from a revolution That brought us some peace And the trees for their hundred years Lean north like calligraphy And I'm shaped by my storming Like they're shaped by their storming Keep at the horizon Keep on the horizon You found you, I mean you Deep on the horizon You found you Keep on the horizon As strong as that wind That blew us round the island Is a wind that has lasted Longer than the past has It's a wind that will keep on lasting Beyond ever after It's a wind that will keep on lasting Longer than the past has
Song Meaning
"The Wind" utilizes natural elements as metaphors for human emotions and relationships, a recurring theme in Feist’s works. In this song, the wind is not just a meteorological phenomenon but a symbol of change, force, and ultimately, connection. The wind "that will bring me / Out to you" conveys both the emotional pull and the passage of time, highlighting how certain forces can draw people together or apart. "Keep on the horizon" serves as a mantra throughout the song, emphasizing a forward-looking mindset. The horizon serves as a metaphor for goals, desires, or a point of emotional connection, encouraging the listener to stay focused on what's important. When Feist sings "You found you, I mean you / Deep on the horizon," she seems to touch on self-discovery, suggesting that in the journey toward connection, one might find a deeper understanding of oneself. The mention of "hail from old water" and "flags from a revolution" indicates how the past has shaped the present. However, the wind is described as "a wind that will keep on lasting / Longer than the past has," implying a sense of hope and continuity, that the driving force behind their relationship or emotional state will persist beyond past hardships or successes. Overall, "The Wind" delves into the intricacies of how external and internal forces shape our lives, our selves, and our relationships, making it a poignant addition to Feist’s thoughtful discography.
