Morning Light
Simen Lyngroth Lyrics

The lyrics to Simen Lyngroth's 'Morning Light' seem to be a contemplative reflection on the singer's current state of mind and surroundings. The song's opening lines describe the singer's location, a town where their parents live, where they hear "heavy laughing in the street." This laughter could represent joy or carefree energy, yet there's likely a sense of detachment from the singer, given that it's a familiar soundscape akin to a Sunday. A Sunday follows a routine and pattern of life that is expected and usual rather than venturesome, standing for mundaneness.

The next lines highlight the singer's need for a break and an escape from the ordinary. They wish to "rest and find the spark," something that will reinvigorate and inspire them. The image of a "lazy walk around the park" furthers this idea of taking a break from expectation and exploring their surroundings. As the singer reflects on their need for this escape, they mention how it feels like the hoped-for inspiration is "just around the corner."

In the song's chorus, the singer repeats their need for "morning light" to "call [their] own." There's a sense of urgency, with the singer emphasizing "these few moments awake" before they "breathe in water again." The water imagery is striking - it brings to mind a feeling of being overwhelmed, struggling to stay afloat, or drowning. These lyrics indicate the singer's desire for a moment of reprieve, even if it is brief or fleeting, that they can call their own before diving back into the deep end.
