Lost in Moments
Ulver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To talk in a dream
So many bends and these years we've been together passed
And all this time she was tremendously excited
About everything she saw
Everything we had talked about
Every detail of every moment that had passed
Ready
One, two
"Lost in Moments" by Ulver is a very reflective and contemplative song that uses poetic language to explore the fragility and temporality of human existence. The opening line, "What's the meaning of this voyage?" sets the tone of existential questioning that is central to the song's lyrics. The voyage in question is likely a metaphor for the journey of life and the search for purpose and meaning that we all embark on at some point.
The second line, "To talk in a dream," suggests that the voyage may also be a spiritual or mystical one, where the singer is exploring their inner world and grappling with the mysteries of the universe. The following lines, "So many bends and these years we've been together passed, and all this time she was tremendously excited," evoke a sense of nostalgia and reflection on the passage of time, as well as a bittersweet appreciation of the joys and sorrows of the human experience.
The final lines of the song, "Ready, one, two," add a sense of urgency and perhaps even a call to action for the listener. While the meaning of the voyage may be elusive and the path may be winding and uncertain, the singer is urging us to be ready to face whatever lies ahead, to take action and make the most of every moment we have.

What's the meaning of this voyage?
What is the significance of our journey?
To talk in a dream
To communicate in a surreal state
So many bends and these years we've been together passed
We have experienced many changes throughout the years we spent together
And all this time she was tremendously excited
During this entire time, she was extremely enthusiastic
About everything she saw
She found wonder in everything she observed
Everything we had talked about
She cherished every conversation we had
Every detail of every moment that had passed
She paid attention to even the smallest aspects of our shared experiences
Ready
Prepared
One, two
The start of a countdown or rhythmic beat
