Kvervandi
Ivar Bjørnson & Einar Selvik Lyrics

The lyrics of Ivar Bjørnson & Einar Selvik's song Kvervandi speak of the cycle of life and death, and the importance of self-realization and growth. The first two lines of the song, "Liv av kvar ein død / Død av kvart eit liv" ("Life from every death / Death from every life"), suggest that life and death are intertwined and necessary parts of the same cycle. The next two lines, "Hjulet syng om ringar / Ikkje linjar" ("The wheel sings of circles / Not lines"), further emphasize the cyclical nature of life.

The following lines describe "solsultne vargar" ("sun-starved wolves") and "drøsular jagast" ("dreams being chased"), which can be interpreted as metaphors for the human desire for growth and fulfillment. The lines "Deg sjølv / gjeven / deg sjølv!" ("Give yourself / to yourself!") encourage listeners to focus on personal growth and self-realization.

The song then moves into a series of lines that contain powerful images of transformation and renewal, such as "Nornar spinn! Lagnad vinn! Kvernar mal!" ("The Norns spin! Fate wins! The millstones grind!"). Finally, the song ends with a call to action and awakening: "Or gap Ginnunga / du er / du var / du vert / du vinn / du veks / Du vaknar!" ("From the gaping mouth of Ginnungagap / you are / you were / you become / you win / you grow / You wake up!").
