Papirsklip
Kim Larsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Finder jeg trøst i min kæreste skat
Klipper motiver med drømme og saks
Papirsilhouetter af den fineste slags
Her er et af min far og min mor
De som gav mig til denne jord
Kærlige kys og en duft af jasmin
Altid solskin og sødeste min
Livet er langt, lykken er kort
Salig er den, der tør give det bort
Her er et af min bedste ven
Utallige klip går igen og igen
Et aldrig færdigt eller fuldendt motiv
Sort silhouet af kvinden i mit liv
Livet er langt, lykken er kort
Salig er den, der tør give det bort
Domine et sanctus
Domine et sanctus
Domine et sanctus
Domine et sanctus
Domine et sanctus
Domine et sanctus
Når nu min verden bliver kold og forladt
Finder jeg trøst i min kæreste skat
Klipper motiver med drømme og saks
Papirsilhouetter af den fineste slags
Livet er langt, lykken er kort
Salig er den, der tør give det bort
Livet er langt, lykken er kort
Salig er den, der tør give det bort
The lyrics of Kim Larsen's song "Papirsklip" embrace the beauty of the human life and its limited time. The singer of the song reveals their world becoming cold and abandoned, and to find comfort they turn to their dearest treasure - paper cutouts of the finest quality. These paper silhouettes hold a special significance as the singer has collected various shapes, which represent different memories and people in their life.
The first cutout that the singer mentions is of their parents. They reminisce about their loving kisses and the sweet scent of jasmine that fills the air. The second paper cutout mentioned, which the singer frequently makes, is of their best friend. The singer describes their friend’s silhouette as black, and the woman in the singer's life remains significant and endlessly inspiring. The lyrics then repeat the previous stanzas to solidify the song's thoughtful message.
Overall, "Papirsklip" is a reminder of the ephemeral quality of life, encouraging the listener to cherish the moments and people that matter most in their life.
