Morgonfågel
Bo Kaspers Orkester Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Utanför mitt fönster
Vet inte vad den heter
Jag tänker vilken tur
För jag vill inte somna
In i den svarta drömmen
Som min morgonfågel
Lockade mig ur
Trafiken dundrar redan
Utanför mitt fönster
Hela huset skakar
Och väcker upp min bur
Det gula morgondisa
Sidas genom asfaltsdammen
Och min morgonfågel
Sjungen som i dur
Tidig morgonfågel
Utanför mitt fönster
Sjung en sång för alla
Som behöver dig
Innan djuret drunknar
I det som ryms mellan reklamen
Och min morgonfågel
Sjung en sång för mig
Sjung en sång för mig
Tidig morgonfågel
Tidig morgonfågel
Tidig morgonfågel
The lyrics to Bo Kaspers Orkester's song Morgonfågel describe the experience of waking up early in the morning to the sound of a bird singing outside the window. The singer is unsure of the bird’s species, but they reflect on the gratitude they feel for being roused from sleep by this natural alarm clock. The singer also expresses a fear of falling back into the “black dream” from which the bird’s song saved them earlier. The outside world slowly comes to life as traffic picks up and the yellow morning fog filters through the urban landscape, but the bird’s song stands in contrast to the mechanical noise and artificiality of modern life. The singer asks the bird to sing for all those who need it and to continue singing for them specifically.
The song’s lyrical themes focus on the beauty of nature and the importance of taking a reprieve from the noise and confusion of the modern world. The bird’s song represents something pure, unspoiled, and powerful that can break through our delusion and bring solace. Bo Kaspers Orkester creates a meditative atmosphere with their gentle melodies and the message that the natural world can provide us with healing if we take notice and embrace it.
