August
Hjalmer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forstenet indeni og hvad tænker du
Hvad føler du, hvad gør du nu, ja, baby
Tør du, ku′ du
Ville du gøre alting om igen
Og om igen og om igen
Der er tid endnu
Og verden drejer rundt og rundt
Men jeg venter stadig her
For verden er så fuld af løgn, uhh
Så, baby baby, tør dine øjne, uhh
Langt ud, dybt ind
Har du helt opgivet din tro på noget
Nu er det nok, jeg ved det godt, ja, baby
Morgen, midnat
Hvert minut og altid tænker jeg
Det ordner sig, bare stol på mig
Men der er tid endnu
Lige meget hvad der sker
Og verden drejer rundt og rundt
Men jeg venter stadig her
For verden er så fuld af løgn, uuh
Så, baby baby, tør dine øjne, uhh
Første gang jeg så dig
Sagde du til mig at du gik dine egne veje
Første gang jeg så dig
Sagde du til mig at du gik dine egne veje
Og der er tid endnu
Lige meget hvad der sker
Og verden drejer rundt og rundt
Men jeg venter stadig her
For verden er så fuld af løgn, uuh
Så, baby baby, tør dine øjne, uhh
Eyy oh, eyy oh
Eyy oh, eyy oh
The lyrics to Hjalmer's song "August" convey a message of hope and reassurance to someone who seems to be struggling with inner turmoil and doubt. The singer asks if the person is alone and frozen inside, wondering what they are thinking and feeling. The repeated question of "tør du, ku' du" (meaning "do you dare, could you") implies that the person is grappling with self-doubt and a reluctance to take action or make a change. However, the singer urges them to trust and have faith, implying that there is still time to turn things around and that the world is ultimately not as harsh and unforgiving as it may seem.
The lines "langt ud, dybt ind, har du helt opgivet din tro på noget" (meaning "far out, deep down, have you completely given up on anything") suggest that the person may have lost faith in something important to them - perhaps a dream, a relationship, or themselves. Despite this, the singer remains steadfast and offers a sense of comfort and support, repeating the refrain "der er tid endnu" (meaning "there is still time") throughout the song. The lyrics speak to the universal human experience of feeling lost or hopeless at times, but also reminds us that we can always find our way back and that there are people who care about us and will be there to help us through.
