Story Behind the Song
The lyrics of "Not From Here" is a dedication to Stella's brother, Pieter, who died of cancer. The words “Not from Here” refers to the belief that our life here on earth is only temporary, that we are children of a heavenly plain and that in this temporary state we have already felt and perceived glimpses of a better reality… Memories of where we’ve been.
Lyrics
Memories of where we've been,
I felt the rain on my skin.
You know we're not from here,
Drowning in earthly fear....
Inhale, exhale;
My breath, your breath;
As one,
Where we belong.....
Do you remember,
When we were birds of a feather.
You licked the wounds on my back,
When all was on attack...
Do you remember,
Images we shared together.
When we of the sky...
When we could fly.....
Inhale, exhale;
My breath, your breath;
As one,
Where we belong.....
Memories of where we've been,
I felt the rain on my skin.
It tears me apart,
But I know your heart,
And where we are from,
And where we belong;
And it tears at my heart,
And it tears me apart,
That I know your Heart.
