Avalon
Nicole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
und schillernd bunt wie ein Atoll
Tauchst manchmal aus dem Nebel auf
so wie ein wilder Wasserlauf.
Du erinnerst mich an Avalon
bist die perfekte Illusion
Denn greife ich nach deiner Hand
Avalon - Ich träum´ Nachts von dir
Steh am Tag total neben mir
Avalon - hörst du nicht wie mein Herz nach dir ruft
und deine Liebe sucht
Avalon - Ich träum´ Nachts von dir
Steh am Tag völlig neben mir
Avalon - Tausend Sonnen sind nichts gegen dich
führ´ mich ans Licht - Avalon
Seitdem ich dir begegnet bin
scheint mir ich war im Grunde blind
Ich hatte jahrelang verdrängt
wie man das Tor zur Sehnsucht nennt.
Unser Losungswort heißt Avalon
und bleibst du zum Schluss nur Illusion
hab´ ich zumindest jetzt kapiert
wohin mein Schicksal tendiert.
Avalon - ich träum´ Nachts von dir
Steh am Tag total neben mir
Avalon - hörst du nicht wie mein Herz nach dir ruft
und deine Liebe sucht
Avalon - Ich träum´ Nachts von dir
Steh am Tag völlig neben mir
Avalon - Tausend Sonnen sind nichts gegen dich
führ´ mich ans Licht
Meine ganze Welt steht Kopf
und ist der Weg auch noch so weit
Ich fang nochmal von vorne an
denn du hast mich befreit - Avalon
Avalon - Ich träum´ Nachts von dir...
The lyrics of "Avalon" by Nicole depict a person who is a mystery and appears out of nowhere, like a wild river in the mist. The song uses the metaphor of "Avalon" to describe this person, who is like a perfect illusion that captivates the singer's heart. Despite the singer's yearning for this person, every time she tries to grab their hand, they vanish without a trace.
The lyrics suggest that since the singer met this enigmatic person, she has felt as though she had been blind previously. This person has made her realise the depths of her long-repressed desires, which the song describes as the "gate to longing." The person is associated with the word "Avalon," which the singer and this individual have adopted as their mantra. The song's final stanza speaks of how the person has turned the singer's world upside down and inspired her to start anew.
Overall, "Avalon" by Nicole is about how some people can make deep impressions on us that cannot be easily explained or understood, leaving us longing for more. The song is beautifully written and thought-provoking, with powerful imagery and metaphors woven into the lyrics.
