Nightjar in the Northern Sky

You are unique,
one of a kind.
Your quality
is hard to find.

A rare orchid,
a nightjar
in the northern sky.
(you are, a rare orchid)

I take your hand
and now we meet.
This time I see
what’s meant to be.

I did not come here
just to stay down in agony.

And your world it is so rich,
it’s filled with trees.
I could spend a lifetime,
exploring it.
Every branch that breathes,
every bird that sings.
And now they sing
(For you, and me)

I take a step,
into your world.
Your music, our song
lives in the sky.

I slept through the long cold night,
just so I could wake up
with you.
(I wake up with you, and you carry me across the sky, towards the moon and the stars)


Ray of Sun

You’re like a ray of sun,
shooting through the dark.
Flowers reach for your
magnetic light.

Your feet are sturdy on the ground
and your heart flys through the air.

I fell into your arms,
I found laughter and warmth.
Your innocent smile and your tender eyes,
you were the sun in my sky.

Out of a dream,
and through my heart.
Into eternity,
we’ve never been apart.

But it can’t ever be the same, again.
But I know, we will meet again.

You showed me how to heal,
with music and words.
Our love was for real, and you made me feel
like the sun in your sky.


Sleepless

Seven seconds go,
like hours flow, so slow.
The afterglow, was years ago,
counting sheep, digging deep.

Who am I, what was, clock goes tik tik tok.
Can I be at ease if I just fall asleep?
Please.

Dream or day, they say.
Lust or love, what is your way?
Nature or, the way of grace?
Do you count sheep or dig deep?

Let it be combined, slightly intertwined, it’s the tree of life!
Let dreams bleed into day –
light.

I begged you to stay,
by my side and dream away.
Of what‘s to come, of what could be done,
if love were to guide our way.

We would be allright, smiling side by side, live the good-good life!
Now please just take my hand,
stay.


The Tunnel (by Robert Creely)

Tonight, nothing is long enough—
time isn’t.
Were there a fire,
it would burn now.

Were there a heaven,
I would have gone long ago.
I think that light
is the final image.

But time reoccurs,
love—and an echo.
A time passes
love in the dark.


Blue Streams

Blue
water streams,
flowing down
towards me.
Source of life,
source of love,
source of everything that is.
We go on,
to the sea,
it builds and breaks.

What will has been and what has is today.

Blue
water streams,
flowing up,
reaching you.
You turn blue,
you turn green.
Try to hold
and it slips.
Moment’s gone,
think you know,
just a dream.

What will has been and what has is today.


Mountain

You are like a mountain,
your roots go back thousands of years.
And your intuition is so strong,
you can smell my thoughts
and see my pain.

And all I want,
is to ascend you.
But your hills are steep
and the air is thin up here.
And all I want,
is to reach your state of enlightenment,
just help me understand
then I can let go.

And your heights,
they fill me with such fright.
On the way uphill it was all bright.
But I can’t help but linger on this,
and now your clouds are clouding my sight.

All I want,
is to ascend you.
But your hills are steep,
and the air is thin up here.
And all I want,
is to reach your state of enlightenment,
just help me understand
then I can let go.

You are like a mountain,
your roots go back thousands of years.


Falling Down

Falling down,
no stopping now.
Head first down,
inside out.

Smash
on the ground
and now you’re everywhere
with me.
(you’re with me)

No place to hide,
nowhere to run.
Trapped in
your warm embrace,
why does it feel so right?
(feel so right)

Summer brings
me down again and now
you are nowhere
around.

I’m on the ground
I’m
on
the ground


Like a River

You go,
then I go.
You said
you’d go,
with me
wherever
i’d go.
Are you,
still here?
I want
to be close.
Feel you
breathing with me,
we breathe.

Are we
connected
by something larger?
Sometimes
I feel you,
I see you in my dreams.

You are
not here,
but yet you
are here.
The memories
live with me,
inside me,
within me.
You warm me,
give me
strength when I am weak.
Now you are free,
like a river flowing to the sea.


Home

The stars are brighter,
and the dark is darker.
The wind is wilder,
and the sea is stronger.

The edges are sharper,
the colors are clearer.
I sink deeper
into the picture.

I travel the world,
in search for substance.
Three cheap drinks in a row,
to take the edge off it.
I take the edge off it.

This place is my anchor,
in a world without answers.

And this feeling, it has been echoing –
from person to person,
for a thousand years.
A thousand years.
And it lands with me,
it lands with me.


Waiting never ends

Waiting never ends,
when you’re waiting for the end.
Illusions of a maze –
flying through time and space.
Not a trace of where it stops or where it began.
Just take my hand.
We will go beyond, above,
point of no return.


Guide the Way

You say the words,
that I can‘t say.
You put your finger on,
what I can‘t touch.
Your voice, it sounds,
when I can‘t sing.
You light up the dark halls.

(and) You guide the way,
you guide the way.
In your arms I long to stay.

You show me things,
that I‘ve never seen.
And you give me air,
when I can‘t breathe.
And my mind it spins,
get me out of my head.
When I‘m lost in a thousand thoughts.

(then) You guide the way,
you guide the way.
In your arms I long to stay.


Carry me Across the Sky

Oh, how we flew across the sky,
our hearts floated up like
balloons.

You seared your thoughts into the night,
and your feelings came alive
and so did mine.

White reflections of the sun,
are carved into you.
You are a force,
your winds blow so strong.

Oh, how we dove into the dark,
drained of energy and spark.
We disappeared.

Will I neglect you
or will I neglect me?
Just tell me now, which way will it be.

White reflections of the moon,
are carved into you.




You are a force,
your winds blow so strong.

Overall Meaning

The song "Sleepless" by Anna Gréta talks about the struggles of insomnia and how it affects one's perception of time, self-identity, and decision-making. The opening line of the first verse sets the tone of the song by describing how the passage of time feels slower when one is sleepless. The second line is a compliment to the individual in the song who is unique and one-of-a-kind, making them a rare find like a magnificent orchid or a nightjar in the Northern Sky. The chorus repeats that the person is a rare find, a "rare orchid" or a "nightjar" in the sky. The second verse elaborates on the significance of the person in the singer's life, how being with them helps the singer feel a sense of purpose, and how they would rather spend their life with them, exploring every branch that breathes and bird that sings. In the third verse, the singer begs the person to stay and help them dream, of what is to come and what could be done if love were to guide their way.

Oh, how we flew across the sky, our hearts floated up like balloons. You seared your thoughts into the night, and your feelings came alive and so did mine. White reflections of the sun, are carved into you. You are a force, your winds blow so strong. Oh, how we dove into the dark, drained of energy and spark. We disappeared. Will I neglect you or will I neglect me? Just tell me now, which way will it be. White reflections of the moon,
We experienced the highs and lows of life together, with strong emotions and deep connections. Your strength is evident and you can deeply affect those around you. But sometimes we disappear and I wonder if I will lose myself or lose you. The moon sheds a reflective light on our situation.
