Ulver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Radio paranoia
All is over
Under the skies
Nothing is working
For god's sake
Can you help me ?
We are alone
Over and out
Of control
The dead bodies
The world white
Interrupting
Truth is a hospital
Please be patient
Hold the line
The opening lines of the song, "Call the police, Radio paranoia," suggest that the singer is in a state of panic and paranoia. He is looking for help but at the same time, he seems to be worried about the repercussions of his actions. The lyrics "All is over, under the skies" indicate that certain events have already transpired and there is no turning back now. The singer could be running from the law or trying to escape some other dangerous situation, and he feels like everything is against him.
The lines "Nothing is working for God's sake, can you help me? We are alone" suggest that the singer is at his wits' end and desperately seeking help. He is probably facing a difficult situation, and he feels like he is alone in it. The line "of control" suggests that the situation could be something that is beyond his control, and he needs someone to help him.
The lyrics "The dead bodies, the world white, interrupting, truth is a hospital" are cryptic and open to interpretation. They could be referring to a horrific event that the singer has witnessed or something that he has done. The line "truth is a hospital" suggests that the events are so traumatic that they are affecting the singer's sense of reality. The line "Please be patient, hold the line" indicates that the singer is still seeking help and needs someone to listen to him.
