Went over the sea
What did I find?
A thousand crystal towers
A hundred emerald cities
And the hand of the watchman
In the night sky
Points to my beloved
A knight in crystal armor
And I tried to hold him
I tried for the creed
I'll make a suit of colors
To stop the blinding mirrors
Sew a cape of red and gold
Stifle up the being
With the perfect armor
With a perfect dream
To be made of glass
When two suns are shining
The battle becomes blinding
To be made of glass
But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride
And with two suns spinning
At two different speeds
Was born a hot, white diamond
Burning through the rainbow
Flames fell into orbit
To hold eternally
Two heavenly spirits
That just wouldn't seem
To be made of glass
When two suns are shining
The battle becomes blinding
To be made of glass
But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride
Hey, oh
Hey oh oh oh
Hey, oh
Hey oh oh oh
Hey, oh
Hey oh oh oh
What did I find?
A thousand crystal towers
A hundred emerald cities
And the hand of the watchman
In the night sky
Points to my beloved
A knight in crystal armor
And I tried to hold him
I tried for the creed
I'll make a suit of colors
To stop the blinding mirrors
Sew a cape of red and gold
Stifle up the being
With the perfect armor
With a perfect dream
To be made of glass
When two suns are shining
The battle becomes blinding
To be made of glass
But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride
And with two suns spinning
At two different speeds
Was born a hot, white diamond
Burning through the rainbow
Flames fell into orbit
To hold eternally
Two heavenly spirits
That just wouldn't seem
To be made of glass
When two suns are shining
The battle becomes blinding
To be made of glass
But we ride tonight, tonight, tonight, we ride
Hey, oh
Hey oh oh oh
Hey, oh
Hey oh oh oh
Hey, oh
Hey oh oh oh

in regards to the album title "two suns" and lyric "when two suns are shining the battle becomes blinding" this refers directly to her relationship with william. he too like her is a very successful artist/musician with his band moon and moon
( i e another song title on her album) and anyone who has been in a relationship where two dominate personalities exist, they know they can be overwhelming and a complete battle for control.
ALSO the liner notes of the album read "this album was born of the coming together and journeying apart of two suns, two half hearts, celestial twins, a king and a queen, and is dedicated to w - always connected"
Now, in the song, crystal/glass/diamonds are referenced to several times and rainbows/suit of colors as well. When light/sun (success) is shone through crystal/glass/diamonds, they project the colors of the rainbow. So, she is taking after this inspiration (who shines the colors of the rainbow) of hers by making a “suit of colors”, “perfect armor”, and “the prefect dream”. Also, I think “the beam” is the Empire State building, which is iconic of New York. By climbing it, she has therefore conquered the odds of failing in New York. By doing this, she will stop the “blinding mirrors”, or set herself apart from all the other artists out there and thus become successful. Remember, color is what is going to set her apart and being made of crystal will produce color when light (success) shines through it.
When her and the inspiration combine (two suns), the success is so powerful that it makes something strong (“a hot, white diamond”), which has the same properties as a crystal when shone through light.
This song is so meaningful and symbolic, it’s hard to put into words, but that is what I think she means.
Two heavenly spirits
That just wouldn't seem
is actually
Two heavenly spirits
That just wouldn't seam
like their spirits wouldn't sew together. They wouldn't become one piece, one being. Possibly because they are "made of glass"?
That just wouldn't see
The chorus begins with:
To be made of glass!
The ! is important because it conveys the whole context ("Wouldn't it be great to be made of glass")
I've submitted the ACTUAL lyrics from the booklet for the album but apparently they have to be checked by the copyright owner for approval. As if that will happen any time soon. I don't know how the copyright owner approved the lyrics that are there! Some of it is dead wrong.
Another piece of additional information: 'I will rise now and go about the city and the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him but I found him not. The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Say ye him him whom my soul loveth?' Song Of Solomon 3:2,3.
