Like There Was A Door
Daniel Norgren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like there was a door
Today's been cold clear and blue
And now you look no more
I've been thinking of you
Almost every day
And i wonder if there is more
You were looking into the blue
Like there was a door
The cuckoo will always sing
Your name
The woods here will always bring
A little rain
I've been thinking of you
Almost every day
And I wonder if there is more
Cause when you went away
You were looking into the blue
like there was a door
You were looking into the blue
like there was a door
The lyrics of Daniel Norgren's song, Like There Was A Door, speak of a person who is lost and distant, looking into the empty blue sky as if there was a door he/she was searching for. The lyricist tries to make sense of the situation. The first line, "You were looking into the blue, like there was a door" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The lyricist is trying to decipher what the looking into the blue means, whether it is a sign of hope or a sign of hopelessness.
Subsequent lines like "Today's been cold clear and blue, and now you look no more" indicate that this person was preoccupied with searching for something beyond the blue sky. The repetition of the phrase "I've been thinking of you almost every day" suggests that this is someone who was important to the lyricist, and he is trying to understand why they left. The bridge "The cuckoo will always sing your name, the woods here will always bring a little rain" appears to be a reference to nature reminding him of the person who had left.
The last two lines of each verse which repeat the opening line, "You were looking into the blue like there was a door" emphasizes the desperation of the situation. The song seems to communicate a longing to understand why someone departed, and a sense of hopelessness as the person looks into the blue sky as if searching for answers.
