Langzamerhand
Guus Meeuwis Lyrics

In Guus Meeuwis's "Langzamerhand" the singer talks about looking for something that he never really lost. He describes himself as desperately searching for something, but without direction or a goal. He realizes that he was looking for "greener grass," searching for something better but not appreciating what he already had. The realization slowly comes to him that he is who he is and he hears what he hears. He then reflects on the beauty of his relationship with his partner. Her laughter in the evening, and how the night brings the morning and a new day, with his love for her found in her eyes. The song concludes with the singer realizing that he belongs with his partner and the line "Langzamerhand dringt het tot me door/Hier bij jou, ik hoor hier bij jou" translated to "Slowly but surely it comes to me/Here with you, I belong with you."

The lyrics in the song describe the journey of self-discovery and how it's easy to get lost in life and forget what you have. It also speaks about how the realization can come slowly, but once it does, it can be profound. The singer talks about how his partner is his anchor, the one who grounds him, and how it's important to appreciate and love the ones who matter to us the most. It's a beautiful song that speaks to the importance of self-reflection, appreciation, and love.
