Snow Mazes of Norway
Jenny Dalton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My brother with a host family playing drums for the Norwegians
He went walking to explore Trysil, but he got lost in a winter maze
Six points on a compass
Six ways from Sunday falling down
Eight feet of heaven on the ground
Keep him warm, keep him warm
He brought back some souvenirs a metal bowl with a Viking ship
a wooden carving and a compass
and six points on a snowflake
Six points on a snowflake
Eight memories in a photograph
My brother's going to miss that snow
Now he surfs in San Diego
In Jenny Dalton's Snow Mazes of Norway, the lyrics tell the story of the singer's brother who is visiting Norway and is taken in by a host family who play the drums. He sets out on his own to explore Trysil, but ends up getting lost in the intricate snow mazes of Norway. The first verse mentions six points on a snowflake and eight arrows on a compass, and how they tie into the idea of directional ambiguity and getting lost. The chorus describes the singer's fears for her brother as he is lost and buried deep in the snow mazes. The second verse indicates that the brother brings back some memories in the form of souvenirs, such as a metal bowl with a Viking Ship, a wooden carving, and a compass. The six points on a snowflake are once again mentioned, emphasizing the overarching theme of directions and getting lost. The song ends with the brother having left Norway and now living in San Diego, California.
