Monument
R?yksopp & Robyn Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Make a space
For my body
Dead or whole
Push this side apart
This is what I'm controlling
It's a mold, the inside that I cart

This will be my monument

This will be a beacon when I'm gone gone gone
When I'm gone gone gone
When I'm gone
Soon when that moment comes,
I can say I did it all with love love love
All with love love love
All with love

Make a cast of my body
Pull back out,
So that I can see
Make a world
Are you ruling?
Make a world
That I used to be

I will let this monument
Represent a moment of my life life life
Of my life life life
Of my life
I will let this monument
Represent a moment of my life life life
Of my life life life
Of my life

Make a cast of my body
Pull back out,
So that I can see
Make a world
Are you ruling?

Make a world
That I used to be

Overall Meaning

The song "Monument" by Röyksopp & Robyn explores the theme of legacy and creating something that will endure long after we are gone. The lyrics "make a space for my body, dead or whole, push this side apart. This is what I'm controlling, it's a mold, the inside that I cart" sets the tone of the song, suggesting that the person is trying to create something tangible that can outlast their physical presence. The repetition of the line "this will be my monument" emphasizes the idea of creating something that will stand the test of time.

The second verse repeats the idea of creating a cast of the body, highlighting the desire to leave behind something concrete. The lyrics "make a world, are you ruling? Make a world that I used to be" adds to the importance of legacy and how the person wants to create something that represents their past and their legacy. The repetition of the phrase "of my life, of my life" highlights the significance and weight of the person's past and the importance of holding onto it.

Overall, "Monument" is a powerful song that reflects on the inevitability of death and the desire to leave something behind. It highlights the importance of creating something that reflects who we are as individuals, and that can endure long after we have gone.

Line by Line Meaning

Make a space
Create a void

For my body
For my physical form

Dead or whole
Regardless of my state

Push this side apart
Move obstacles away

This is what I'm controlling
I determine how this is done

It's a mold, the inside that I cart
The shape I have crafted internally that I carry with me

This will be my monument
I want this to be my legacy

This will be a beacon when I'm gone gone gone
A guide that remains after my departure

When I'm gone gone gone
When I am no longer present

Soon when that moment comes,
When I reach the end

I can say I did it all with love love love
I acted with love in all my endeavors

All with love love love
Every action was motivated by love

Make a cast of my body
Create a replica of my form

Pull back out,
Extract it again

So that I can see
To observe it visually

Make a world
Construct a reality

Are you ruling?
Is this under your control?

Make a world
Create another existence

That I used to be
In which I existed previously

I will let this monument
I choose to allow this to be my representation

Represent a moment of my life life life
To be a symbol of a specific time in my existence

Of my life life life
From my entire being

Of my life
Of my entire existence

I'm dying of renal cell carcinoma. I'm currently on Opdivo, and it shows promise, but like the other chemos (votrient and afinitor) that I've been on, it too will stop being effective one day. I cried uncontrollably when I heard this song.This is a death song. An end of life song. I hope that it's playing in my head in my final moment. I want my two sons to know that they are my monument. Make a space
For my body.
Dig a hole.
Push the sides apart.
This is what
I'm controlling.
It's a moat
The inside that I carve.

This will be my monument
This will be a beacon when I'm gone
Gone, gone
When I'm gone
Gone, gone
When I'm gone

So that when the moment comes,
I can say I did it all with love
Love, love
All with love
Love, love
All with love

Make a cast
Of my body.
Pull back out,
So that I can see.
Let go of
How you knew me.
Let go of
What I used to be.

I will let this monument
Represent a moment of my life
Life, life
Of my life
Life, life
Of my life

I will let this monument
Represent a moment of my life
Life, life
Of my life
Life, life
Of my life

Make a cast
Of my body.
Pull back out,
So that I can see.
Let go of
How you knew me.
Let go of
What I used to be.

*If I may provide a deeper state of comprehension for your losses so it aids your negative state of being for your overall better understanding. These things as painful as they all were, were for a reason, For a deeper reason for you to see things in a clearer light. Pain has a way of weeding out other distractions and if all these things have happened back to back then this is for a extreme better outcome. The Devine or super conscious, higher self whatever you view as a god force knows you at your greatest extents and your lowest lows. * it sends challenges into our lives disguised as problem for us to ultimately learn some fundamental lesson from so we can with this lesson grow beyond what we see currently see ourselves as for the benefit of all who can understand that the extreme of these challenges, your being VERY extreme are sent that way because it knows your full potential of what your strengths can under go on a personal level. In other words, if your personal strength was poor you would receive a small amount of discomfort. But if the opposite then you receive a great deal of pain. **You are stronger then you can EVER consciously comprehend. You need to see this. I know I have stated a lot here but know this.. ** Pain is a part of life, but suffering “IS” an option! - Tony Robbins

What goes around eventually comes around, age has excluded me from acceptance but I always love to hear artist's keeping the dream alive.

Evolution of pop is different in all countries. In the 2000's when pop went more rnb in the US, it went more indie in Sweden with bands like The Knife, Kent, The tough alliance, the hives, håkan hellström, broder daniel, Robyn etc

@PersonalityMalfunction

@@davidLAMF I’ve heard of Kent and The Knife, not the others. Correct me if I’m wrong, but Robyn was a pop singer long before she collaborated with Royksopp, wasn’t she? Sweden has always produced successful pop, and also death metal. Wasn’t aware if the indie scene at all.

@davidLAMF

3y↑1

@@PersonalityMalfunction Yes when she dropped her first album I think she was 16, but she is still considered a pop star, at least here. I think maybe our view of what it means to be a pop artist is different. It is not considered negative to be a pop artist.
Indie scene here was huge, at least in 2000's when it was a thing in UK too, which of course influenced Sweden.
Karin from the knife started out in a more indie rock kind of band called Honey Is Cool (not very good IMO). The Concretes, Lykke Li, Mando Diao, The Radio Dept, could argue The Cardigans played indie rock. At some point electronic indie started taking over.

Concordo, diria q onde moro e por estes lados tem mais “fama” mas é estupido como não são tipo, mais conhecidos. Acho a eles são como moderat. Extremely good mas não há muito povo a apreciar.

Same. Listening through headphones. I was actually asleep and woke up to this playing. Then, dozed off again. Later when I woke up I was like what the hell was that song playing earlier. I was hooked to it. Thankful I was able to go back and find the song to see who and what it was.

I lost my dad last year to brain cancer (glioma stage 4). This song makes wanna cry every moment, thinking what the hell was going on inside his had before his last breath. I wish I could comfort him of all the pain and the terror of the unknown.

@MsAggie78

4y↑4

OMG I felt that. The truth, I believe, is you could not have truly empathized with him on his trip to the unknown, because you'll only know it when you make it yourself. But if he felt your love before passing, you gave him all you could, and to him that would have been enough.Love was the only and best thing you could give, and you gave it. You did enough, honey.😗😗💓💓❤

We know that the brain makes us feel happy when we are dieing, the "Heaven" feeling many that return have. While it seems very mean to say this, you shouldn't focus on the last days of his life, but the many years shared. The love doesn't go anywhere.

In my humble opinion, I feel the video perfectly depicts the fragility and vulnerability which Robyn's voice carries through the song.
Robyn's face in this video looks to me a lot like David Bowie's. I don't know if that's intentional. But I like the style.
The moment when Thorbjørn gives that oh so little smile touched my heart.
The song is great. It's inevitably progressing, striding, pumping, it has certain stages, it's rich in sound. I love the autotuned oh-oh-oh-oh after the word 'gone'. It's a song that will last.
I find the whole piece exceptionally emotional and i love the song a lot.
These are just some thoughts and feelings that i have about the song and the video. I hope you don't mind that they lack interconnection.
@Robyn, please tell us the words you said between the audible parts, in the beginning. Seeing your mouth move without hearing the words made me so curious. Would you please take the time and tell me?
