Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En mager mann med tornekrone
Grepet ser jeg ned
Min tro mitt hp min fred
Jeg ser hva jeg har gjort
Og legger kronen bort
Straffen l p deg
Skammen brer jeg
Forundret ser jeg speilet grte
S lite tro jeg har
Jeg overhrer svar
Jeg trodde det var meg
Som skulle redde deg
Skamfull ser jeg ned
Det var du som led
En mager mann som stille lider
Evig Gud til alle tider
I himmel og p jord
Min frelser og min bror
Jeg ser hva du har gjort
Og legger kronen bort
Straffen l p deg
Nden brer meg
The song is called Til alle tider, which means "for all time" in English. The lyrics describe a person's reflection on their faith and their relationship with Jesus Christ. The first few lines refer to an icon, a representation of Christ, and a thin man wearing a crown of thorns. The singer sees their own reflection in the icon and feels a sense of shame and guilt for their actions. They lay down their own crown, acknowledging that Jesus suffered for them. The singer realizes they are not the one to save Jesus, but rather Jesus saved them. The final lines describe Jesus as an eternal God who silently suffers, but who is also the singer's savior and brother.
The lyrics are heavily influenced by Christian themes of redemption, sin, and grace. The use of religious imagery, such as the icon and the crown of thorns, helps to emphasize the importance of these ideas. The song is also a reflection on the human condition and our tendency to fail and make mistakes. The singer's shame and guilt represent a common human experience, but the ultimate message of the song is one of hope and forgiveness through Jesus Christ.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION (AT ALL TIMES)
A tear runs out of the icon.
an innocent man with a crown of thorns
moaning I look down
my faith my hope my peace
I see what I have done
and lay the crown away
ashamed I looked downIt was you who suffered
The word, the mirror, the man, the mystery
amazingly I see the mirror weep
so little faith I have
I overheard the answer
I thought it was me
who shall save you
I see what I have doneand lay the crown away
An innocent man who silently suffer
eternal God at all times
in heaven and on earth
my redeemer and my brother
I see what you have done
and put the crown away
punishment lay on you
Mercy carries me
