Hjärta av guld
Eva Dahlgren Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Med mina två liv
Jag vandrar i stillhet
Över tidens ängar
Och skarfrusen snö
En söker i djupen
En svävar i vinden
För att alltid mötas
I hopp om ett hjärta av guld

En lever det som är
En söker det som borde
Jag ser dom le
Åt varandras tafatthet
Men dom skulle ge livet
Om dom bara kunde
För att finna
Detta hjärta av guld

Regna regn regna
Skölj mej ren
En himmelens kyss
På mina ögon
Och jag ser
Lyckan i att begära
Det jag vill
Men inget mer

Med mina två liv
Ska jag vandra i stillhet
Som två spegelskepp
På spegelsjö
Och söka för att finna
Detta gyllene hjärta
Och leva av kärlek

Och vishet
I ro

Overall Meaning

In the song Hjärta Av Guld by Eva Dahlgren, the lyrics speak of the search for a heart of gold, a quest that requires one to wander in solitude and seek for the elusive treasure. The singer describes herself as walking alone in the fields of time and frozen snow, searching for what one seeks in the depths and the other floats in the wind, so that they can find each other with the hope of finding a heart of gold. The next verse speaks of how some people live for what is, while others seek for what should be. The singer sees people laugh at each other's awkwardness, but knows that they would give their lives if they could just find a heart of gold. The chorus speaks of the cleansing rain, a kiss from the heavens, and the happiness of desiring what one wants and nothing more.

The final verse speaks of the singer's determination to continue wandering in stillness with her two lives, like two mirror ships on a mirror lake, searching for and hoping to find the golden heart. She wants to live with love and wisdom in peace.

This song speaks of the universal search for something good and pure in a world that can be harsh and disappointing. The heart of gold represents the ideal, a perfection that can only be attained through introspection and a long journey of self-discovery. The song encourages listeners to continue their quest, to seek for the good in themselves and others, and to live their lives with love and wisdom.
