Kauas
Nicole Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

olen kaukainen
kuljen jokaisen
etsin kaukaisen
etsin ikuisen

unessa niin kauan, kun siivet poikenneet
valvon tänään ennen kuin siivet poikki on
kuin elämä kuin enne, selvitä voi

kuin enne kuin meille, selvitä voi

lähden kauas pois
lähden täältä pois

tulessa niin kauas, kun kielet poikenneet
veden kautta ennen kuin kielet poikki on

tunnelma kuin ennen maailma on
unelma kuin meille maailma on

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nicole's song "Kauas" speak to a yearning for something beyond what is immediate and present. The singer is "kaukainen" meaning distant or faraway, and they "kulkevat jokaisen" which translates to traveling for everyone. The singer is on a quest for something "kaukaisen" or distant, something "ikuisen" or eternal that seems to come to them in dreams. The singer sees life as something that can be navigated like a premonition, an "ene" that can be deciphered before it happens.

The verses repeat this theme of seeking something beyond and hint at a sadness or pain that is driving the singer to seek out distant places. The imagery of burning and water are used to describe this longing. The first verse speaks of wandering in a dream but staying awake until wings "siivet" are broken. In the second, the singer talks of being far away in fire "tulessa" until tongues or strings "kielet" are broken. The final verse ends with a repetition of "maailma on" or the world is, perhaps suggesting that the quest for something beyond the world is futile.

Overall, the lyrics to "Kauas" express longing and the desire to escape from present pain or confusion in search of something distant and eternal. The verses use the imagery of dreams, fire, and water to emphasize this yearning. The repetition of "selvitä voi" or "it can be deciphered" adds to the sense that the singer is seeking meaning or understanding beyond what is immediately in front of them.
