Beautiful Day
Olle Hedberg Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room, no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care,
The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere.
You thought you'd found a friend to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace

It's a beautiful day, the sky falls
Abd you feel like it's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road but you've got no destination
You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over and it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

Touch me, take me to that other place
Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Beautiful day
Don't let it get away

Touch me, take me to that other place
Reach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
You don't need it now, you don't need it now





Beautiful day

Overall Meaning

The song "Beautiful Day" by Olle Hedberg is a track about hope, redemption, and the beauty of life. The opening verse has the lyrics, "The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground/There's no room, no space to rent in this town." This can be interpreted as the heart representing hope, and the stony ground being a metaphor for a heartless, unfeeling society. The next lines, "You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care/The traffic is stuck, and you're not moving anywhere," suggest that the singer is in a stagnant place in their life, where they aren't able to progress or find meaning.


However, the chorus changes the tone of the song as it declares "It's a beautiful day" and urges the listener not to let the opportunity pass. The song encourages the listener to take advantage of the present moment, no matter how bleak the surroundings appear to be. The final verse is about discovering the beauty of the world after experiencing trials, with lines like "After the flood, all the colors came out," portraying a world full of potential and vibrancy.


Overall, "Beautiful Day" is a reminder to find hope in life's struggles and to recognize the beauty that can be found despite difficult circumstances.
