Dårlig løgner
Kråkesølv Lyrics

The lyrics of Kråkesølv's song "Dårlig løgner" bring out a sense of self-doubt, confusion, and the desire to escape reality. The first two lines convey the feeling of being overwhelmed by those who seem to have it all together while the singer carries the weight of feeling too heavy. The reference to forgetting one's age reflects a sense of disconnection from oneself and a struggle to remember even basic details.

The next lines highlight the emptiness the singer feels, emphasizing their inability to express themselves and communicate effectively. The question of whether it is worth it to squeeze out gold from the heart suggests a sense of exhaustion and questioning the value of putting effort into something that may not yield meaningful results. This sentiment is further amplified by feeling more silent than being silent itself.

Despite these feelings of emptiness and silence, the singer chooses to let the conversation flow. The line about nothing being able to surpass the feeling of spring in Bodø, implying the possibility of finding solace and liberation through external means. Here, "slå ei plate på" indicates turning on a record, a gesture to create a carefree atmosphere by immersing oneself in music and getting alcohol in their veins.

Acknowledging the listener's skepticism that something may have gone to the singer's head, they admit to not disagreeing. This could suggest a willingness to explore an alternative way of living, even if it seems unconventional or misunderstood by others.

The following part reflects the singer's struggle in maintaining a facade. They acknowledge being a bad liar, incapable of even fooling themselves. However, if they were able to achieve that level of deception, they claim they would teach the listener the same skill. This desire to help the listener suggests a need for both the singer and the listener to relax and regain their youthful essence, free from stress and pressure. The mention of a "handlingsplan" (action plan) based on self-deception implies a willingness to employ strategies that may not be entirely honest but serve as a means to recapture a sense of youthfulness.

The lyrics continue by dismissing the idea of going in circles indefinitely and the lack of eternal life symbolized by a ring on a finger. This could be interpreted as a rejection of monotonous routines and a desire for something more meaningful and fulfilling.

In the final lines, the singer conveys the difficulty of looking at the listener, as their eyes reveal more than they want to know about themselves. However, they believe that if the listener truly knew who they had become, they would understand better. The mention of learning to lose oneself and not losing the listener yet suggests ongoing personal struggles but the hope of preserving their connection.
