Lenny Kravitz captures the universal quest for inner peace and fulfillment in this poignant track. Despite having material success and no apparent struggles, the singer feels a void, an incompleteness that possessions can't fill. He yearns for "stillness of heart," a state of calm and clarity that would allow him to truly connect with himself and others, navigating from darkness to light. The lyrics also touch on broader social issues, questioning the lack of love, generosity, and forgiveness in our world. This song beautifully articulates the internal and external search for meaning and connection in modern life.
