Parentes
No. 4 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Forstyrrer jeg
Eller har du tid
Til å høre på meg
Fortell meg
Bare si
Du er overbevist
Om at dette har funnet sted
At dette ikke bare var en parentes

Som et vitne
Som var der
Som så at det var bra
Det var jo det
Om ikke bare lett
Så hadde det livets rett




Fortell meg at dette har funnet sted
At dette ikke bare var en parentes

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, the artist No. 4 seems to be speaking to someone, possibly a friend or a loved one, expressing a desire for their attention and understanding. The repetition of the lines "Forstyrrer jeg/Eller har du tid/Til å høre på meg" suggests a plea for the listener to pause their busy life and be present in this moment. The artist is seeking a connection, longing for the other person to truly listen and engage with what they have to say.


The phrase "Fortell meg/Bare si" further emphasizes the artist's need for validation and acknowledgement. They want the listener to affirm that they are convinced about something significant happening, something that has not merely been a passing phase or a trivial event. The term "parentes" translates to "parenthesis," which implies something temporary or insignificant. The artist wants reassurance that the shared experience they are referring to holds more weight than just a momentary diversion.


The lyrics then shift to a comparison, where the artist likens the listener to a witness. This could imply that the person being addressed was present during the referenced event, giving them first-hand knowledge and insight into its significance. The artist suggests that this witness saw that the experience was good, even if not without difficulties. They indicate that despite any challenges, the experience had a right to exist and be valued.


The final lines, "Fortell meg at dette har funnet sted/At dette ikke bare var en parentes," repeat the artist's plea for confirmation of the shared experience's validity. They want the listener to affirm that the event in question did indeed happen and was more than just an insignificant interlude. It seems there is a deep yearning in the artist's words, seeking affirmation, support, and recognition for the importance of this shared experience.
