Sanasta sanaan
Nicole Lyrics

The song "Sanasta sanaan" by Nicole is a powerful and emotional piece that examines the impact of words on our lives. The lyrics are thought-provoking and evoke a sense of existential reflection by the listener. The first stanza, "Taivas kiivain / Yö kasvoton / Taas heitä kaivataan / Kaipaus saa / maan kuihtumaan / Saa muistumaan ajan / Jolloin valveen / lehdet puhtaat lakastui" describes the longing for something or someone, which results in the withering away of the earth, reminding us of the passage of time when our hopes and dreams fade away. The imagery of the "lehdet puhtaat lakastui" (pure leaves withering away) is particularly poignant, evoking the idea that innocence and purity inevitably fade.

The second stanza, "Toivon löytääksemme / Olemme syntyneet / Vainot mieleen / Kaivautuneet / Saa heidät vaipumaan / Silloin taas / Maa poistetaan / Taas toistetaan sanat / Joista kasvoi lehdet puhtaat lupausten" speaks to the idea that we are born with hope and the desire to find meaning in our lives. However, the negativity and persecution that we may face can cause us to lose our sense of purpose and hope. The repeating of the words, "Joista kasvoi lehdet puhtaat lupausten" (from which pure leaves grew as promises) suggests the idea that we can find hope again in the promises we make to ourselves and others.

The chorus, "Sanat kaikuu kohtaloissa / Julistustansa / Sanat kaikuu kohtaloissa / Kunnes vaikenee" speaks to the idea that our words have a power that can echo through time, impacting our destiny. The closing line, "Kunnes vaikenee" (until it becomes silenced), suggests that our words can continue to impact us long after they are spoken.
