outro: ull gjekk
Einar Selvik Lyrics

The lyrics of Einar Selvik's song "Outro: Ull Gjekk In" evoke a sense of mystery and nostalgia, as the melody of the fiddler's tune lures us to a distant and mythical place. The line "Spelemannens tonar lurer" means "the fiddler's melody is lurking", inviting us to follow it deeper into the forest where nature speaks in a language we no longer hear. The mention of "menneskeborna" (humankind) as "vår bane" (our doom) implies a sense of regret or even blame for the state of the world, as if humanity has caused some irreversible damage.

The next lines describe how the fiddler's tune beckons us to join in the night and venture further into the forest, where we may find solace and communion with nature. The contrast between the lonely fiddler's tune and the communal spirit of the forest is highlighted by the use of "lat oss" (let us) repeated three times, as if urging us to shed our individualistic mindset and become one with nature.

The final line, "Guden i steinen er no taus" (the god in the stone is now silent), is shrouded in ambiguity, but may suggest a loss of faith or a longing for a spiritual connection that has been lost. The image of a god in a stone echoes pagan beliefs that revered rocks and trees as dwelling places of spirits.
