Enden av november
Kaizers Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vent, darling, vent meg i enden av november
Du kjenner meg ikkje igjen, for eg er ikkje meg sjøl lenger

Eg minner kanskje om meg sjøl utenpå
Men eg ser ut som en krig bak det som du kan sjå
Alt eg vil gi for å ver hos deg nå
Og la mi hånd gli gjennom ditt hår
Og min doktor sa, hey, tid er relativt
Kor lenge trur du han ga meg
Til enden av november

Send, darling, send nogen ord til meg som fenger
og sett av et kryss heilt i enden av november

Eg ser svart røyk i bånn av mitt stearinlys
Er det et godt tegn
Eg ser tida føyk
Eg holder heller pusten livet ut
Vinden blåser feil vei
Her er min siste sang
Nå setter eg min siste klut
Min hud er i brann
og temperaturen stiger, til 45 i feber
i enden av november

Nå håper eg brevet kommer fram til deg i tide
Mine ord er fra hjerta, mine tanker er frie
Du må stå inne for det du får ut av livet
for det er ingen som går ut av livet i live
Som min doktor sa, hey, tid er relativt




Kor lenge trur du han ga meg
Til enden av november

Overall Meaning

The Kaizers Orchestra's song "Enden av november" is a hauntingly beautiful ballad that speaks of a love that has been lost due to the ravages of time and illness. The lyrics speak of a man who is no longer himself, who is tired and sick, and who longs to be with his lover once more. The title itself translates to "The End of November," which serves as a metaphor for the end of life, a time when everything comes to an inevitable close.


The first verse speaks of the man's longing for his lover, whom he recognizes he may be unrecognizable to, as he is no longer the same person he once was. The second verse speaks of the man's desperation to hear from his lover, to receive even a small token of connection. The metaphor of the black smoke rising from the bottom of his candle speaks of the darkness that lingers within him, despite his attempts to hold on to life. The final verse urges the listener to make the most of their time on earth, as life is fleeting and unpredictable.


Overall, "Enden av november" is a poignant song that delves into themes of longing, loss, and the inevitability of death. The lyrics are nuanced and complex, weaving together metaphors and imagery to create a haunting portrait of a man at the end of his life.
