Saint Naive
Jonsi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To know there's nothing you can do
It's alright to say that you are your own again
A simple view, is it you?
To know in everything you do now
It's alright to say that you are your own again
To sing this song
It's alright for Saint Naive
It's alright for Saint Naive
For Saint Naive
There is no view, says not you
Tomorrow is all the same - Now you go home
It's alright to say that you are your own again
To sing this song
It's alright for Saint Naive
It's alright for Saint Naive
For Saint Naive
Don't worry your pretty little head
Tomorrow we might be dead, just play us a song
And we all might sing along
Don't worry your pretty little head
Tomorrow we might be dead, just play us a song
And we all might get along
It's alright for Saint Naive
It's alright for Saint Naive
Poor Saint Naive
These lyrics from Jónsi's song Saint Naive are filled with imagery and emotion. The repetition of "A simple view, is it you?" suggests a problem or challenge that the subject is facing. The lines "To know there's nothing you can do" and "There is no view, says not you" further emphasize this feeling of helplessness. However, the chorus reassures the subject that it's okay to be "your own again" and to find solace in singing this song.
The second verse takes a darker turn, possibly reflecting the struggles and challenges of everyday life. "Tomorrow is all the same" suggests a sense of monotony or hopelessness. But again, the chorus offers comfort, urging the subject to find peace in being "Saint Naive" and to sing their troubles away.
Overall, the lyrics of Saint Naive convey a powerful message of self-acceptance and resilience in the face of adversity. Jónsi's haunting vocals and the dreamy electronic soundscapes only add to the song's emotional impact.
