Evig Natt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Føl vinden av nåttås kall
Ein søken, ein evige strid
Når dagen visne, og mørke fange mitt sinn
Et bilde av deg, brent i nåttås slør
I drømmar, kor livet dør
Ein evige søvn, kor smerten blekne bort
Mitt savn, mi sjel
I mitt indra, et nakent sinn
Fanga i sjelås råe favn
I mitt mørke, ein falma drøm
Ei evige kvila, dødens savn
I drømmar om stillhet
To skyggar smeltes t ett
Smeltes t ett
Ein vandring, langs tomme stiar
Uten håp, uten fred
døden, ein følgesvenn, tar mi hånd
og vise vei, inn t si havn
I mitt indra, et nakent sinn
Sart som nåttås evige skygge
I mitt mørke, ein falma drøm
Ei evige kvila, dødens savn
I mitt indra, et nakent sinn
Fanga i sjelås råe favn
I mitt mørke, ein falma drøm
Ei evige kvila, dødens savn
The lyrics of Evig Natt's self-titled song, "Evig Natt," seem to be exploring themes of death, pain, and the afterlife. The opening lines, "Feel the wind of the night's call / A search, an eternal struggle," suggest a sense of restlessness and unrest. The singer seems to be haunted by a vision of someone they miss deeply, whose image is "burnt in the veil of night."
The following verses paint a picture of the singer's inner turmoil and pain. They speak of dreams where life dies, and the search for a freedom that once existed. The idea of an "eternal sleep" where pain fades away is presented as a possible refuge from the singer's suffering.
The chorus brings a sense of finality and resignation, as the singer contemplates their own death and the potential for peace in the afterlife. The lines "Death, a companion, takes my hand / And shows the way into its haven" suggest an acceptance of mortality and the hope for release from the struggles of life.
Overall, the lyrics of "Evig Natt" are evocative and poignant, capturing the complexities of human emotion and the universal fear of death.
