We have a past and we have a future. Both influence our life in the present. The decisions and actions we took in the past brought us here, and our wishes, expectations and intentions for the future make us take new steps in the present.
There are ways to investigate these realms, that is what this song is about. That may sound a bit mysterious... it is...
The Gates of the Otherworld
(Nico - jan 2007)
Am Em D
I travelled to the future, through the gate in the east.
And there I met a man, with a grin on his face.
He said that he was sharing, his plans and his life
With his high school sweetheart, who had become his wife.

Refr:
And I fall down, I fall down throught the gates to the other world
And I climb up, I climb up, to get back.
I travelled to the past, through the gate in the west
And there I met a woman, with a smile on her face.
She said that she would share, her life and her plans
With the love of her life, who would become her man.
I travelled to the present, through the gate in the south.
And here I see two people, standing face to face.
I see that they are healing, through the future and through the past.
Because they are sharing, that what lasted and that what will last.
