I may have lived a thousand lives, a thousand times ( Right here is an occult refrence but also to many other things it is said that the soul consists of 100,000 pieces and if each is recognised within the consciousness of others that someone could become imortal and gain strength the number 100 is refrenced many times in numerology /numbers/… this is just one example ) Song MeaningA thousand years, a thousand moreĪ thousand times a million doors to eternity He's willing to remain in the world and forgo enlightenment "'til you love me". Sting goes right to the depth of this sacrifice, in a beautifully poetic way.Įven with this knowledge that the salvation of his very soul lies beyond his emotional attachments, he still loves her. They talk about giving their up possessions, their homes and even their lives. You see, a person can't express love in words. By inference he also knows that the only escape from the infinite circle of life and death is through leaving behind all of his worldly attachments. Yet out of everyone he still only thinks of her.īy referring to all of this, he's showing that he full well understands the system of karma and rebirth AND is a wise man.

He understands that he may have lived a million different lives with a million different attachments to things and people. He understands that we are all souls making their way to realisation.

Song MeaningSting is saying that he understands the infinite nature of the universe.
