Heim
Moddi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
og kanskje va det bære vind
men eg svor eg va åleina,
eg tok av støvlan og gjekk inn
der i kjøken koktes kaffi
førr aller siste gong
førr eg va kommen heim
førr eg va kommen heim
The lyrics to Moddi's song "Heim" are reflective and melancholic. The song speaks to the feeling of coming home and realizing that everything has changed. The singer is unsure of whether or not they actually hear someone calling out, or if it's just the wind. Regardless, they feel alone and take off their shoes before entering the kitchen where coffee is being brewed, knowing that it's the last time. The implication here is that the singer has lost someone important and is facing the reality of their absence.
The repetition of the phrase "førr eg va kommen heim" is particularly poignant. It's as if the singer is trying to remind themselves that they have indeed made it home, but the fact that they have to say it out loud means they're trying to convince themselves. The finality of the line "førr aller siste gong" is heartbreaking. The singer knows that they can never go back to the way things were, that they'll never get another chance to enjoy a quiet morning at home with the person they loved.
Overall, the song is a beautiful, atmospheric exploration of loss and grief. Moddi's ability to convey such powerful emotions with just a few simple phrases is truly masterful.

Kanskje va det nån som ropte
Perhaps someone was calling out
og kanskje va det bære vind
And maybe it was just the wind
men eg svor eg va åleina,
But I swore I was alone
eg tok av støvlan og gjekk inn
I took off my boots and went inside
der i kjøken koktes kaffi
Where coffee was brewing in the kitchen
førr aller siste gong
For the very last time
førr eg va kommen heim
Before I had come home
førr eg va kommen heim
Before I had come home
