Windmill, windmill for the land
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is sticking, falling down
Love forever, love is free
Let's turn forever, you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in?
Somehow, I'm getting more and more charmed by this song of Gorrilaz. Although I don't fully understand the lyrics, the more I think about the windmill the more interesting I find the symbol. There's something peaceful about it. Something natural. Ecologically pure even. The revolution of the sails of the windmill can also be interpreted as the change in values (a kind of revolution in people's minds). And the sails make the windmill fly in the sky in the cartoon clip which (I mean flying) I often associate with dreaming... But what on Earth does the first line in bold mean?
'Windmill for the land' - what is it about? Could you help me understand the line, please?
