Gånglåt från Knapptibble
Änglagård Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
att allt är rätt,
allting som är runtomkring?
Två kanske är mer än tre,
vad vet vi om det?
Tiden bär där vi är nu.
Och Gud är En,
Att han blir sedd som vriden,
kallas han profet.
Han är lika kluven,
fastän nu är Duet och Jaget som Ett.
Tiden är ett tidsfördriv.
Levgossen talar vanskapt språk,
och tidforsen skriker gällt sin väg.
Avgrunden öppnas och bilder dör ut.
The lyrics of Änglagård's song "Gånglåt från Knapptibble" talk about the uncertainty of life and the uncertainty of what we know to be true. The first verse questions whether everything that surrounds us is really right and whether the number two is better than the number three, illustrating a skepticism and doubt in what we think we know. The second verse speaks about time and God, expressing a belief that God is all-encompassing and that time is just a way to pass the moments between life and death. However, the verse also acknowledges the confusion and misinterpretation of God, stating that he is seen as twisted and called a prophet, indicating the human tendency to create labels and judgments based on misunderstanding.
The third verse presents a paradoxical view of identity and time. It states that even though we may feel incomplete and divided, time is a way to unite us all. The verse expresses the idea that time is both a challenge and an opportunity for growth and learning. Finally, the last verse talks about the chaos and destruction that surrounds us, as we face the challenges of life head-on. The imagery of a screaming river and an open abyss indicates the turmoil and uncertainty that often accompany our journeys through life. Overall, the song portrays a questioning and uncertain perspective on life, yet offers the hope that through struggle and perseverance, we can find true meaning and understanding.
