A Voice To Calm You Down
Anna Ternheim Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Left only with my godless mind
On my way home again
By the end of the night
Falling star is your guiding light
In the way that you're so fine
Voice is calming you down
Voice from deep down
Open your mind now
Let it calm you down
Keep you calm now
By the end of it all
On your knees running fast
Either God are escaping your past
By the end
Who will give you answers
When you, man-senses fail
By the end
Who will give you answers
When you, man-senses fail
The lyrics in Anna Ternheim's song "A Voice To Calm You Down" tells a story of a person who is seemingly lost and in search of guidance. The first verse describes the singer feeling godless and lost-minded at the end of the day, as they make their way back home. The second verse portrays that in the dark, a falling star acts as a guide, leading them to the persona's subject of admiration. Despite the admiration, the person seems to be in search of something more. The chorus emphasizes the need for a calming voice from within to help the person find peace and answers to all of their questions.
The bridge in the lyrics stresses the struggle of man's senses failing, leading to the need for something higher than themselves. The final chorus then asks the question of who will guide the individual when they realize that their own senses alone cannot provide all the answers they seek. The lyrics are an introspective commentary on people's search for guidance and purpose in their lives. It shows the human need for something beyond the physical world to make sense of life's uncertainties.
