Impossible
Kim Rune Hagen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did,
And now when all is done
There is nothing to say
You have gone and so effortlessly
on your own you can go head tell them,
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
and i remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did
and tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible...
The song "Impossible" by Kim Rune Hagen is a heart-wrenching portrayal of a failed relationship. The first set of lyrics takes us back in time when the singer was warned to be careful of love, and heeding that advice, he proceeded with caution. But even then, the relationship ended in a heartbreak, leaving the singer with nothing to say. The person he loved has effortlessly moved on, and now the singer wishes to share his story with the world.
The chorus "Tell them all I know now/Shout it from the rooftops/Write it on the skyline" shows the singer's desperation to express his feelings and let the world know about his failed relationship. He wants to announce loudly that everything they had is gone now and although he may have hoped for the impossible, it has now become a reality. The repetition of "Impossible" emphasizes the difficulty of the situation and the pain that comes with accepting the end of the relationship.
The song's somber tone and melancholic lyrics make it a powerful representation of the pain that comes with the loss of love. It highlights the singer's vulnerability and the struggle to move on after the end of a meaningful relationship.
