Captured
Jorn Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Jorn Lande/Tore Moren)

I see a special magic
It's in my mind
A place where God is healing
And the devil's running blind
And washed away is sorrow
He flooded every soul
Embraced the world in glory
And took away the cold

They all could see him rise
Up to the angels that waited in the sky
Surrender did you and I

But it's all in fantasy
My visions not real
In a time of jealousy
There's no truth to reveal
Surrounded by madness
In a wolrd without hope
We're led by destruction
Captured as our souls

I feel a special sadness
It's in my life
Stung by a thousand spears
And coloured by the night
They all would watch him die
And everyone there just turned a blind eye
He surrendered for you and I

All it's all in fantasy
My visions so real
No more lies or jealousy
Only love shall reveal
Surrounded by happines
In a world full of joy
No more wars to be ended
Released as our souls

Mailbox full of bills to pay
Get up - get out and save your day
All the girls with Barbie curls




Where's the boy with wooden toys
They are surfing the net

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jorn's song "Captured" tell a story of contrasting themes, starting with a magical place where God is healing and the devil is blind, and where sorrow is washed away, and the world is embraced in glory. However, the second verse describes a reality of jealousy, madness, destruction, and souls being captured. In the chorus, the singer confesses that it is all in fantasy, and his visions are not real in a world where truth is scarce. The bridge highlights the sadness and pain in the singer's life, where he feels stung by a thousand spears and colored by the night. However, the song ends on a hopeful tone, where the vision becomes so real, and love shall reveal the truth, and souls will be released from wars and pain.


The lyrics of "Captured" are metaphorical and open to interpretation, but the song's underlying message suggests a desire for a world free from jealousy, hatred, and wars. It presents a utopian view that may not seem realistic, but it gives hope to the listener. The song's melody and instrumentals reinforce the contrasting themes by alternating between heavy metal riffs and soft ballad-like transitions.


Line by Line Meaning

I see a special magic
I am aware of something enchanting


It's in my mind
It exists only in my thoughts


A place where God is healing
A location where the divine power mends


And the devil's running blind
The malevolent force is unaware of its surroundings


And washed away is sorrow
All traces of grief have been eliminated


He flooded every soul
He rejuvenated every spirit


Embraced the world in glory
The universe was hugged with pride


And took away the cold
The chill of desolation vanished


They all could see him rise
Everybody witnessed his ascension


Up to the angels that waited in the sky
Towards the celestial beings who were anticipating his arrival


Surrender did you and I
You and I gave in to his power peacefully


But it's all in fantasy
However, it is purely imaginary


My visions not real
My illusions are not tangible


In a time of jealousy
During an era of envy


There's no truth to reveal
There is no veracity to uncover


Surrounded by madness
Encircled by insanity


In a world without hope
Existing in a hopeless world


We're led by destruction
We are guided by ruin


Captured as our souls
Our spirits are imprisoned


I feel a special sadness
I am experiencing a particular form of sorrow


It's in my life
It is part of my existence


Stung by a thousand spears
Pierced by numerous sharp objects


And coloured by the night
Affected by the darkness


They all would watch him die
Everybody would observe his death


And everyone there just turned a blind eye
And everyone simply ignored it


He surrendered for you and I
He yielded for us


No more lies or jealousy
Deception and envy are eradicated


Only love shall reveal
Only affection will expose the truth


Surrounded by happiness
Encircled by delight


In a world full of joy
Existing in a world that is filled with happiness


No more wars to be ended
No more battles to finish


Released as our souls
Our spirits are set free


Mailbox full of bills to pay
Receiving many invoices in the mailbox


Get up - get out and save your day
Stand up, move, and rescue your day


All the girls with Barbie curls
All the girls with coiled hair resembling Barbie dolls


Where's the boy with wooden toys
Where is the child with playthings made of wood


They are surfing the net
They are browsing the internet
