Just the Same
Jorn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like some distant star
It doesn't really matter where you are
One man was happy
One lived in sorrow
Overseer said they'll meet tomorrow
One man was wealthy
Overseer said they'll meet tomorrow
There's a light from afar
Like some distant star
It doesn't really matter where you are
It's just the same
Moon's silver face
Dark shadows on the wall
Light playing games as evening falls
And when the sunshine
Can't warm your heart again
Soar with the starlight on the evening wind
There's a light from afar
Like some distant star
It doesn't really matter where you are
There's a way
Even though your heart is broken
Now by the close
Of one door
Another opens
Leave your heat wide open
The door will open
There's a light from afar
Like some distant star
It doesn't matter where you are
It's just the same
It's just the same
It's just the same
It's just the same
The lyrics to Jorn's song "Just the Same" speak to the notion that despite our various differences, we are all connected and essentially the same. The song opens with a description of a light from afar, like a distant star, which does not discriminate and shines equally on everyone, no matter where they are. This is followed by references to two different men – one happy and one sad; one wealthy and one struggling. Despite their differences, they are told by an overseer that they will meet tomorrow, suggesting that they will eventually come together.
The chorus repeats the idea that "it's just the same" for everyone, reinforcing the basic human connection we all share. The lyrics then shift to a description of the moon's silver face and the light and shadows it creates. Again, there is a sense of the beauty and mystery of the universe, connecting us all. The final lines of the song suggest that even if your heart is broken, there is still a way forward. One door may close, but another will open, so it is important to leave your heart open and be ready for the next opportunity.

Not everyone's journey is the same
One lived in sorrow
Some people face great hardships and pain

Every song on this album is amazing.

I really miss the experimental things from his first solo albums. But having said that - I´m just happy he´s still puting out records with that incredible voice.
