Banker som doedningeknoker
Djevel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Skogen er full af grusomme vetter
Ihvor ængler fra himmeriig dætter
Skaadden synker blant svarte graner
Lyset som var her var aldri her
Doede greiner og kalde vinder
Slanger mennesker binder
Smerten vinner
Det rasler og river piber og hviner
Regner og blæser vinden leker med doedningeskaller
Med ett blir alt det gode borte ilden flammer på sielens vegger
Det banker naa tungt paa livets doer
Det banker som doedningeknoker
These lyrics are from the song "Banker som dødningeknoker" by Djevel. The song paints a dark and eerie picture, filled with references to death and destruction. The lyrics depict the arrival of death, symbolized by the dark nights and the presence of grotesque creatures in the forest. The angels from heaven fall and the shadow descends among the black pines.
The opening lines describe the absence of light, stating that the light that was once present was never really there. The dead branches and cold winds symbolize decay and desolation. The lyrics then mention how snakes bind humans and how pain triumphs. This imagery conveys a sense of suffering and despair.
The second stanza introduces the presence of worms and ravens, who wreak havoc outside. The rattling and tearing sounds, combined with the rain and wind, create a macabre atmosphere. The wind is portrayed as playing with the skulls of the dead. Suddenly, all the good things disappear, and flames consume the walls of the soul. The final lines describe a heavy knocking on the door of life, reminiscent of the haunting sound of death's knuckles.
Overall, these lyrics evoke a sense of darkness, decay, and impending doom, portraying a world where death and suffering prevail over light and happiness.
