Normandy
Motorama Lyrics

Normandy
I haven't been here before
I haven't been here before
I haven't been here

Where everything sinks in your beautiful thoughts
Where my pleasure is light of a firework
I stand still on the edge, can't remember that feeling
I can't remember that place

Rain and fog
I travelled by train too long
I travelled by train for so long
I travelled by train alone

Unfamiliar sound of a mystery place




I was lying alone with the hands on my face
I was lying alone with a miserable feeling of felicity

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Motorama's song Normandy evoke a sense of displacement and longing. The repetition of "I haven't been here before" underscores the feeling of being in an unfamiliar place. The second verse delves into the singer's interior landscape, where their "beautiful thoughts" are sinking in. The contrast between the heightened pleasure of a "firework" and the singer's numbness and lack of feeling ("can't remember that feeling") creates a poignant tension. The third verse reveals that the singer has been travelling by train for a long time, perhaps in search of something or escaping from something. The mystery place they have ended up in is both unfamiliar and miserable, as they lie alone with their hands on their face, feeling an uncomfortable mix of happiness and sadness.

I haven't been here before
This is a new experience for me


I haven't been here before
I'm still getting used to being here


I haven't been here
I am out of my depth here


Where everything sinks in your beautiful thoughts
I am in a place where your thoughts become reality


Where my pleasure is light of a firework
The simple things give me great joy


I stand still on the edge, can't remember that feeling
I feel lost and unsure of myself


I can't remember that place
I am struggling to recall where I'm from


Rain and fog
The weather here is bad


I travelled by train too long
The journey here was arduous


I travelled by train for so long
I spent a lot of time on the road getting here


I travelled by train alone
I made the journey solo


Unfamiliar sound of a mystery place
I'm in a foreign environment with strange noises


I was lying alone with the hands on my face
I feel alone and overwhelmed


I was lying alone with a miserable feeling of felicity
I am unhappy despite the beautiful surroundings
