Postcard
Gry Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello hello
I know I'm frozen cold
Hello hello
I know I've self defenced
Ice ice grown flowers
So silent white so quite still
Hello hello
Are you still there?

It's kind of cold in here
Ice ice grown flowers
So silent white so quiet still
Sun red salamander

Sun red salamander
Farvel

Overall Meaning

In Gry's song Postcard, the lyrics appear to convey a sense of isolation and withdrawal from the world around the singer. The lyrics "Hello hello, I know I'm frozen cold," seem to suggest a sense of numbness and detachment from feelings and emotions. The singer acknowledges that she has self-defended, indicating that she has put up walls to protect herself from hurt or disappointment. The lines "Ice ice grown flowers, so silent white so quite still" evoke an image of stillness and frozen beauty, possibly representing the singer's own state of mind or surroundings.

As the song progresses, the singer asks if someone is still there, indicating a desire for connection and for someone to break through the ice around her. The repetition of the phrase "Ice ice grown flowers, so silent white so quiet still" reinforces the idea of a frozen, static, unchanging state of being. The inclusion of the phrase "Sun red salamander" adds a burst of color and warmth to the otherwise cold and still landscape of the song. The final word, "Farvel," is Danish for "goodbye" and could be interpreted as a final resignation to the singer's isolation and detachment.

Line by Line Meaning

Hello hello
I'm acknowledging your presence

I know I'm frozen cold
I feel emotionally unavailable

Hello hello
I'm still here, trying to connect

I know I've self defenced
I have barriers up to protect myself

Ice ice grown flowers
Pain and isolation have produced something beautiful

So silent white so quite still
It's a serene yet lonely existence

Hello hello
I'm still reaching out to you

Are you still there?
Are you still willing to try?

It's kind of cold in here
I'm still struggling with my emotions

Ice ice grown flowers
Despite the pain, beauty can still be found

So silent white so quiet still
I live in a peaceful but lonesome world
