“In the Beginning” by MA Shalom is a poetic allegory of love, consciousness, and balance — a story about the eternal dance between logic and emotion. The song personifies Thought and Heart as two divine forces that begin as one but separate through the pursuit of understanding and love. Their division leads to chaos and imbalance — Heart feels too deeply without reason, and Thought sees too clearly without compassion — until they reunite in harmony, symbolizing the unity of intellect and feeling.
With its mythic tone and spiritual depth, the lyrics explore how love itself can both divide and heal, teaching that neither logic nor emotion alone can reveal truth — only their union can. The song serves as a metaphor for creation, human duality, and the timeless interplay between mind and soul.
