I'm so glad
And feel so blue
It's so old
And all so new

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Northern Lite's song "I'm So Glad" describe a feeling of contradiction and ambivalence. The singer expresses being happy ("I'm so glad") but also sad ("and feel so blue") at the same time. This could be interpreted as a feeling of nostalgia or longing for something that has passed, but also being content with the present. The lines "It's so old/And all so new" could suggest that the singer is reminiscing about past experiences or memories, but at the same time is embracing new changes and possibilities in the present. Alternatively, it could be a reflection on how even though something may be old or familiar, it can still feel fresh and new when viewed from a different perspective.

The use of conflicting emotions and imagery within the lyrics is reflective of the song's overall sound and genre. "I'm So Glad" is an electronic dance track that blends elements of techno and pop, creating a high-energy sound that contrasts with the introspective lyrics. The use of electronic sounds and beats creates a sense of momentum and forward motion, even as the lyrics reflect on the past.

Line by Line Meaning

I'm so glad
I am extremely happy and content

And feel so blue
However, I am also experiencing sadness and sorrow

It's so old
These emotions are not new, I have experienced them before

And all so new
Despite that, the way I am feeling right now is still somehow fresh and different
