Pelle Carlberg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How long can we stay apart?
You may get it maybe never
But it's coming from the heart.
Your life is full of indecision
You can't make up your mind.
We must get it in position
And move it on down the line.
I been on that road too long of a time
Yes the road is long, and it winds and winds
When I think of the love that I left behind.
Make me up a bed of roses
And hang them down from the vine
Of all my loves you've been the closest
That's ever been on my mind.
Please don't talk about tomorrow
I'm really not one to care
This world is filled with too much sorrow
That nobody's heart should bear.
'Cause the road is long, it's a long hard climb
I been on that road too long of a time
Yes the road is long, and it winds and winds
When I think of the love that I left behind.
Please, please give me indication
Stop and talk to me
Like a river that is flowing
My love will never cease to be.
You will always be my honey
No one could take your part
Our love can't be bought with money
'Cause it's coming from the heart.
'Cause the road is long, it's a long hard climb
I been on that road too long of a time
Yes the road is long, and it winds and winds
When I think of the love that I left behind.
The lyrics of Pelle Carlberg's song '1983' advocate for coming together and overcoming the indecisiveness and sorrow that plague our lives. The first verse speaks of the need for unity, questioning how long we can stay apart and urging us to listen to the heart. The second verse shifts the focus to individual struggles with indecision, highlighting the importance of taking action and moving forward. The chorus then brings us back to the idea of the road as a metaphor for life's journey, emphasising the difficulty and winding nature of the path. The imagery of the bed of roses and the river flowing suggest a desire for comfort and continuity, while the final lines reaffirm the power of love that cannot be bought or sold.
Overall, the song seems to be about the search for meaning and connection in a world that can often feel overwhelming and confusing. The emphasis on the heart and the repeated call to come together suggest a desire for community and solidarity, while the acknowledgement of individual struggles with indecision and sorrow acknowledges the reality of our internal struggles. The song seems to suggest that we can find strength and comfort in each other as we navigate life's long and winding road.
