Misþyrming Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Það rigndi í dag
og hugur minn flögraði ráðlaus um tómið.
Hægt börðust lungun um loftið
og þungt sló biturt hjartað.
sem hugsanir sveiflandi í járnum.
Þær klófestu sig um mig allan
og héldu mér í föstum skorðum.
Skýin huldu himininn
og lokuðu okkur inni.
Marraði á milli trjáa
þegar droparnir slógust á laufin.
Langt nær slóðin er litið er um öxl
og þungt er hvert einasta spor.
Sólin fjarlægist hægt handan við skýin
hægt, en ákveðin er hun.
Þungt liggur yfir jörðu
flóðið frá himnum.
Rifbein mín halda þétt í skefjum
anda mínum og hjartslætti.
Brátt kemur langur vetur
og bundin erum við einsömul jörðu.
VI. Everything That Once Prospered
It rained today
and my mind fluttered helpless around the void.
The lungs fought slowly for air
and heavily beat the bitter heart.
The smoke raised against the drops
like thoughts swinging in chains.
They ensnared themselves all around me
and held me restricted.
The clouds covered the skies
and closed us in.
Between the trees it creaked
when the drops hit the leaves.
The trace reaches far, if looked over the shoulder
and heavy is each and every step.
The sun descends slowly behind the clouds
slowly, but surely is she determined.
A heavy weight lies upon the ground
the flood from the heavens.
My ribs enclose thoroughly
my breath and heartbeat.
Soon the long winter comes
and we are bound alone to the earth.
The lyrics of Misþyrming's "Allt sem eitt sinn blómstraði" paint a picture of a bleak and barren landscape, shrouded in darkness and despair. The imagery is vivid and haunting, evoking a sense of isolation and hopelessness. The rain and clouds symbolize the crushing weight of depression, and the struggle for breath and beating heart represent the existential struggle of the human experience.
The smoke and chains that surround the singer suggest a sense of entrapment and confinement, while the creaking trees and heavy footsteps hint at the futility of escape. The descending sun and encroaching winter create a sense of finality and inevitability, culminating in the realization that we are all bound alone to the earth.
Overall, the lyrics of "Allt sem eitt sinn blómstraði" are a deeply introspective and contemplative exploration of the human psyche, and the struggle to find meaning and purpose in a world that can seem dark and unforgiving.
