Den som vingla
Kråkesølv Lyrics

The lyrics of Kråkesølv's song "Den som vingla" explore themes of self-discovery, personal growth, and the challenges of navigating one's own path in life. The opening lines, "Det burde vær såre enkelt men æ går med lenke, Og det kjennes ut som æ foretrekk det," describe a sense of being trapped or confined by certain expectations or societal norms. The singer longs for their soul to break free from these constraints and seek a deeper connection with themselves and the world around them.

The repeated refrain, "Æ Vil gå med rette steg, Forstå kor lett det e, Men den som vingla Finn nye veia," speaks to the desire for clarity and purpose in one's actions. The singer wants to take decisive, confident steps forward, acknowledging the ease with which this could be done. However, they also acknowledge that it is often those who stumble or make mistakes along the way who ultimately find new and unexpected paths. This highlights the idea that it is through trial and error, through embracing imperfections and learning from them, that one can truly grow and discover their own unique journey.

The following verses further explore the singer's sense of identity and the complexities of human existence. The lines "Kem e æ Uten skylappa, Bøddelhetta dommerkappa" point to the various roles and masks we wear in society, from being judgmental to being judged. The lyrics suggest that these roles can limit our true selves, and the singer questions who they are without these societal constructs.

Similarly, in the lines "Kem e vi Uten ansvarsfradrag, Valgets kvala, Svøm vi langt fra land da," the focus shifts to a collective identity. The singer questions the collective identity of "us" and ponders the consequences of avoiding responsibility and succumbing to the anxiety of making choices and taking risks. The mention of swimming far from land serves as a metaphor for venturing into the unknown and the fear that comes with it.
