Gloria, do bränner dina broar
Och do springer I cirklar, men inte för det roar
Do måste sakta ner nu, do står för nära kanten
Och när do ser att det går utför, ska do akta dig för branten
Men do kan inte minnas, var det nå'nting som han sa?
Alla röster som do hör, ropar Gloria
Gloria, har do riktigt lyssnat
Do måste väl ha somnat, för signalerna har tystnat
Do behöver inte svara, låt dom sitta där och vänta
Och ropa Gloria
Gloria, ditt nummer har do lämnat
Nu ekar det I tystnaden, av murarna som rämnat
Ändå kan do inte minnas, var det nå'nting som han sa?
Alla röster som do hör, ropar Gloria
Gloria, do ville nånting mera
Men nu vet do att förväntan är alltför lätt att injicera
Det som kändes rätt för stunden, det som var din egen hemlighet
Gör att kylan tränger djupare in
Fast din kropp och själ är glödhet
Därför kan do inte minnas, var det nå'nting som han sa?
Alla röster som do hör, ropar Gloria
Gloria, har do riktigt lyssnat...
The song "Gloria" by Carola is a haunting ballad that speaks about a woman named Gloria, who is in danger of losing herself. The lyrics speak about her burning bridges and running in circles, but not for the sake of enjoyment. She is warned to slow down and step away from the edge before it's too late. However, she can't remember if anyone warned her or said anything at all. All she can hear is the constant calling of her name, "Gloria."
As the song progresses, we learn that Gloria is at a crossroads in her life. She is searching for something more, but she is unsure of what that is. She has tried to inject excitement into her life, but it only leaves her feeling more empty. The chorus repeats with a more significant emphasis on the idea that Gloria is not truly listening to those around her. She is lost in her head and doesn't recognize the danger she faces.
The song's melancholy melody and Carola's soulful vocals contribute to the feeling of hopelessness in the lyrics. The message seems to be that there is still time for Gloria to find her way back, but she needs to start paying attention and taking positive steps in the right direction.
