North Point

Mike Oldfield

Transposer:

Have you ever been to North Point To spend your time and pray? The prison walls are dark and cold and grey. The writing on the wall at North Point Speaks to a silent room. They shut the bars down leave you to the gloom. How could we get any closer? So high is the wire and the guards won’t listen They won’t believe me. And then it all came back. Somewhere far above has a new day risen? Way beyond the searchlight Comes alive comes alive. Then on a bright day at North Point The gate was open wide. They chanced to look at what was inside. There were a million stars at North Point And from the silent tomb They took it to the heart and left for the moon. How could we get any closer? So high is the wire and the guards won’t listen They won’t believe me. And then it all came back. Somewhere far above has a new day risen? Way beyond the searchlight Comes alive comes alive. Have you ever been to North Point To spend your time and pray?

La chanson évoque un lieu nommé North Point, où l'on peut passer du temps à prier, tout en étant confronté à la tristesse et à l'oppression d'un environnement carcéral. Les murs sombres et froids créent une atmosphère de désespoir, où l'espoir semble loin à cause de la séparation physique et émotionnelle. Pourtant, au-delà de cette grisaille, il y a une lueur d'espoir symbolisée par la possibilité d’un nouvel avenir, représenté par des étoiles et la promesse d’une libération. Ce contraste entre l'obscurité extérieure et la lumière intérieure permet d'entrevoir une échappatoire vers une vie plus lumineuse et pleine de sens.
