Anything
Marianne Engebretsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look at the skies, you said to me
You don't know anything, anything, anything
You don't know anything, anything, anything
About the days, that's yet to come,
So fight the blaze, and embrace the sun
You don't know anything, anything, anything
You don't know anything, anything, anything
Maybe everything, everything, everything
It's not like everything, everything, everything
Colours of life, bursts at dawn
No fear inside and the past is gone
You don't know anything, anything, anything
You don't know anything, anything, anything
Maybe everything, everything, everything
It's not like everything, everything, everything
You don't know anything, anything, anything
You don't know anything, anything, anything
Maybe everything, everything, everything
It's not like everything, everything, everything
You don't know anything, anything, anything
You don't know anything, anything, anything
Maybe everything, everything, everything
It's not like everything, everything, everything
A million dreams ahead of me
The lyrics of the song "Anything" by Marianne Engebretsen tell a story of a person who is far away from home, with someone else looking at the sky. The other person tells them that they know nothing, nothing, nothing about the future, and encourages them to fight the fire and embrace the sun. The song emphasizes the idea that we never really know what is in store for us in the future and that we must navigate life's uncertainties as best we can.
The message of the song is a universal one, as it can be applied to any situation where one is uncertain about what the future holds. This universal theme is supported by the use of general language throughout the lyrics, which are devoid of any specific details that might anchor them in a particular time or place. The use of repetition ("You don't know anything, anything, anything") embodies the idea that uncertainty is a constant in life, but also suggests that we can learn to live with it and embrace it.
Overall, "Anything" is a song about optimism in the face of uncertainty. It is a reminder that we are all on a journey, and that anything can happen along the way. We must be open to the possibilities that lie ahead, and keep moving forward no matter what.
