Allting börjar om
Birgit Õigemeel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
De hetaste känslor jag hade som svepte mig med
Ändå så står jag nu här
Med bultande hjärta och så frusen och stel
Men jag vet, jag vet allt kan sluta bra
Alla dörrar som stängts kommer öppnas igen
Allting föds på nytt och ingenting tar slut
I gryningen hörs åter fågelsång och allting börjar om
Det finns aldrig någon återgång
För allt, ja allting börjar om
Se, nu öppnas ridån
För andra akten där jag är ett oskrivet blad
I en helt ny kostym
Mitt hjärta är mitt fast pjäsen, är okänd och ny
Men jag vet, jag vet allt kan sluta bra
Alla dörrar som stängts kommer öppnas igen
Snön ska smälta, träden kläds i vårens skrud
Allting föds på nytt och ingenting tar slut
I gryningen hörs åter fågelsång och allting börjar om
Det finns aldrig någon återgång
Snön ska smälta, träden kläds i vårens skrud
Allting föds på nytt och ingenting tar slut
I gryningen hörs åter fågelsång och allting börjar om
Det finns aldrig någon återgång
För allt, ja allting börjar om
The lyrics to "Allting börjar om" by Birgit Õigemeel convey a message of hope, renewal, and the endless cycle of life. The song begins with the singer reminiscing about the strongest emotions that once overcame her, and then transitioning into a present moment where she feels frozen and stiff. Despite this, the singer has faith that everything will turn out well and that all closed doors will eventually reopen. She then continues to describe the beginning of spring, where the snow melts, the trees bloom, and everything is reborn anew. The chorus repeats the message that everything starts over, and there is no turning back, emphasizing the cyclical nature of life.
The second half of the song takes a different approach, as it moves towards a moment of anticipation for the future. The singer becomes aware of the curtain opening, signaling a new chapter of her life that is unwritten and unexplored. She describes the feeling of being dressed in new clothes, symbolizing the potential of a new beginning. The final chorus reinforces the message that nothing truly ends, and everything begins again, with the singer now looking forward to the future and anticipating all the new beginnings it may bring.
Overall, the lyrics of "Allting börjar om" encourage a positive outlook on life, reminding us that even when things seem difficult, there is always potential for renewal and growth. The reference to nature's cyclical patterns is a reminder that life has a way of continuing on, even in the face of hardship.
