Gloria
Jonas Sandwall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jag såg ditt ansikte under gatulyktans sken sent i går kväll
Jag såg din tomma blick, ditt brustna hjärta.
En själ som börjat blöda igen.
Men mitt barn, jag är här för dig.
Krönt med törne så att du får bo hos mig.
En gång för alla döden jag mätte ut ett slut
Så du får sjunga ut
Gloria
Gloria
Hosianna in Excelsis Deo
Sjung ut Gloria
Din värld spricker och du hittar inte ut
Syret ditt tar slut
Och du undrar hur kan nåt gott existera när allting är så svart
Var finns det dag i denna natt
Men mitt barn jag är ljuset för dig
Spikad upp på ett kors så du får dagen genom mig
En gång för alla döden jag mätte ut ett slut
Så du får sjunga ut
Gloria
Gloria
Hosianna in Excelsis Deo
Jesus säger:
O, jag älskar, jag älskar dig. Jag älskar dig mitt barn
O, jag älskar dig
O, jag älskar, jag älskar dig. Riktigt älskar dig mitt barn
O, jag älskar dig
O, jag älskar, jag älskar dig. Jag älskar dig mitt barn
O, jag älskar dig
O, jag älskar, jag älskar dig. Riktigt älskar dig mitt barn
O, jag älskar dig
Så sjung ut
Gloria
Gloria
Hosianna in Excelsis Deo
Gloria




Gloria
Hosianna in Excelsis Deo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jonas Sandwall's "Gloria" are full of religious imagery and references to the story of Jesus, particularly his crucifixion. The singer sees someone who is suffering, with a "broken heart" and a "bleeding soul," and promises to be there for them, just as Jesus promised to be there for his followers. The line "krönt med törne så att du får bo hos mig" (crowned with thorns so that you may live with me) refers to the crown of thorns that Jesus was forced to wear before his death, and suggests that the singer is similarly willing to sacrifice for this person.


The chorus of the song is "Gloria," which is a Latin word meaning "glory." This may be a reference to the story of the angels announcing the birth of Jesus and singing "Gloria in excelsis Deo" (glory to God in the highest) as a way to praise and honor him. The singer encourages the suffering person to "sing out" their own Gloria, even in the midst of their pain and confusion. The last section of the song features Jesus himself speaking to the singer's friend, expressing his love for them and urging them to believe in that love.


Overall, "Gloria" is a song about finding hope and comfort in difficult times, through faith in a higher power and the love of friends and family. The references to Jesus and his story may make this song particularly meaningful for Christians, but the themes of love, sacrifice, and redemption are universal and can resonate with anyone, regardless of their beliefs.
