In Limbo
Seigmen Lyrics

The lyrics of Seigmen's song In Limbo open with a series of comparisons. The first line, "Som en perle I en lukket hånd" translates to "Like a pearl in a closed hand." This image suggests something precious and beautiful that is being concealed or protected, perhaps from external threats or influences. The second line, "Som en engel lenket til en seng" means "Like an angel chained to a bed." This metaphor evokes a feeling of helplessness and confinement, as if the subject is being held captive against their will. The third line, "Som en fjær faller til jord" which translates to "Like a feather falling to earth," conjures an image of lightness, fragility, and impermanence. Finally, the line "Som et ikon våkner til liv," "Like an icon awakening to life," suggests a transformation or rebirth, as if something static and symbolic is coming to life in a tangible and meaningful way.

The second half of the song consists of a series of disjointed images and concepts that are difficult to connect or make sense of. The line "Om Gud er min far, min mor mitt begjær," translates to "If God is my father, my mother is my desire." This seems to suggest a complex relationship between religious faith, sexual desire, and familial relationships. The subsequent lines continue with a series of surreal and symbolic images, such as "Jeg ser den ene skille hav fra himmel" (I see the one separating sea from sky), "Jeg ser Gud skape mennesket" (I see God creating mankind), and "Jeg ser et hjul med åtte spiler" (I see a wheel with eight spokes). These images are open to interpretation, but they all suggest a sense of mystery, wonder, and transcendence.
