Fjara
Sólstafir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aldrei aftur samur maður er.
Ljóta leiðin heillar nú á ný,
daginn sem ég lífið aftur flý.
Ef ég vinn í þetta eina sinn,
er það samt dauði minn.
Trú mín er að allt fari ej vel.
Þessu er lokið hjá mér.
Dag sem nótt hljóðið var svo rótt.
Þrotið þol lamað bros.
Áfram ríð, hjartað pumpar tárum.
Dag sem nótt ég geng nú einn.
Grafin bein grotna í jörðunni,
eins og leyndarmálin þín
sem þú hélst forðum burt frá mér.
En blóðið þyngr´en þögnin er.
Svikin orð, grjót í kjafti þér,
rista dýpra en nokkur sár.
Brotin bönd aldrei verða söm.
Lygar eins og nöðrubit.
Þetta er það lengsta sem ég fer,
Aldrei aftur samur maður er,
Ef ég vinn í þetta eina sinn,
Er það samt dauði minn,
Trú mín er, að allt fari vel,
Þessu er lokið hjá mér,
Dag sem nótt, hjartað var órótt,
Þrotið þol, lamað bros,
Áfram ríð, hjartað pumpar tárum,
Dag sem nótt, ég geng nú einn,
Ef ég vinn í þetta eina sinn,
Er það samt dauði minn,
Trú mín er, að allt fari vel,
Þessu er lokið hjá mér,
Dag sem nótt, hjartað var órótt,
Þrotið þol, lamað bros,
Áfram ríð, hjartað pumpar tárum,
Dag sem nótt, ég geng nú einn⟓.
The lyrics of "Fjara" by Sólstafir are in Icelandic and translated to English they talk about a long and difficult journey where the singer is walking alone. It seems that this journey represents the end of something in their life, perhaps a relationship or a way of living. The lines "This is the longest I'll ever go" and "Never again will I mate with a human" suggest that the singer is not only ending a physical journey but also an emotional and spiritual one. The person is haunted by past memories and secrets that weigh heavily on their heart, making it hard for them to find peace.
The chorus of the song talks about the singer's belief that if they succeed in this journey, it will be their death. In this case, dying could mean the end of their pain and suffering, or a metaphorical death of their old self to be reborn again. The line "My faith is that everything won't go well" suggests that the person is not optimistic about the outcome of this journey. They have accepted defeat and are ready to face whatever fate has in store for them.
Overall, "Fjara" is a song about the end of something in someone's life, a journey that represents closure and the singer's desire to move on from the past, even if it means facing their fears and challenges alone.

Lyrics in English:
This is the longest I'm going.
Never the same person again.
The ugly road charms again now,
the day I escape life again.
Free If I work on this one time,
is it still my death.
My belief is that everything will not go well.
I'm done with this.
Free Day and night the sound was so loud.
Swollen endurance paralyzed smile.
Continue riding, the heart pumps tears.
Day and night I now walk alone.
Free Buried bones rot in the ground,
like your secrets
which you kept away from me long ago.
But the blood is heavier than the silence.
Free Forged words, stones in your mouth,
cut deeper than any wound.
Broken ties will never be the same.
Lies like a bite.
Free This is the longest I'm going,
Never the same man again,
Free If I work on this one time,
Is that still my death,
My belief is that everything will go well,
I'm done with this,
Free Day and night, the heart was troubled,
Swollen endurance, paralyzed smile,
Continue riding, the heart pumps tears,
Day and night, I now walk alone,
Free If I work on this one time,
Is that still my death,
My belief is that everything will go well,
I'm done with this,
Free Day and night, the heart was troubled,
Swollen endurance, paralyzed smile,
Continue riding, the heart pumps tears,
Day and night, I now walk alone⟓.

This is the furthest i will go...
never the same again...
the vile path calling me...
the day i ran from life again...
If i win this one time
it will still be the end of me
my belief that nothing ends well
this the end for me
day and night heart was uneased
broken heart with frozen smile
riding on, heart pumping tears
day and night i walk alone
Bones, Rotting In The Earth.
Like Your Secrets.
That you Long kept From Me.
But blood weighs More than silence.
Broken words, Shards in Your Mouth.
Cut Depper than any Wound.
Broken vows will Never be the Same.
Lies like the Viper's bite.
this is the furthest i will go...
never the same again...
If I win This one Time.
It will still be the End for Me.
My Belief that nothing Ends Well.
this is The end for Me.
Day and night, Heart was Uneased. <--(female vocals repeat chorus)
broken Heart With frozen smile.
Riding On, heart pumping Tears.
Day and night I walk Alone.

Day and night heart was uneased.
Broken will frozen smile.
Riding on, heart pumping tears.

Bones rotting in the earth,

But blood weighs more than silence.
Broken words, shards in your mouth,
cut deeper than any wound.
Broken vows will never be the same.
Lies like the viper's bite.

This band; and this song in particular, helped me through a rough part of my life. It's weird listening to it now. It gives me a weird nostalgic feeling for wandering around drunk and sad in the middle of winter, laying in the snow and staring at the stars with this blasting in my headphones.
Not a lot of bands successfully take me back to moments of my life. I love it.
