Herregud
Siri Nilsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
at jeg glemmer at jeg finnes
du ser på meg og jeg flyr, du tar på meg og jeg tar fyr
du er min prins
å, jeg ser på deg og jeg ser
jeg ser ingen hverdag mer
ååååå
du smiler og jeg dør, du ser på meg og det gjør
ååååå åh ååååå
å, jeg ser på deg og jeg ser
jeg ser ingen hverdag mer
ååååå
å herregud, å shit, herregud
hvor bra kan det bli?
hvor sykt bra kan det bli?
å, jeg ser på deg og jeg ser
jeg ser ingen hverdag mer
The lyrics to Siri Nilsen's song "Herregud" describe the overwhelming infatuation and attraction the singer feels towards someone. The person's smile and gaze make the singer forget everything else, and they feel as though they are flying. The person is referred to as "my prince," indicating a romantic love interest. The second half of the song repeats the same sentiment, with the singer declaring that in the presence of this person, they see no ordinary days anymore.
The use of "herregud" (meaning "oh my God" in Norwegian) in the refrain highlights the intensity of the singer's emotions, as if she cannot believe how amazing the situation is. The song's length and structure embody this feeling as well - the repetition of the chorus and the extended vowel sounds in the verses evoke a kind of dreamlike state. The lyrics suggest a sense of surrender and submission to the object of affection, with the line "you touch me and I catch fire" indicating a passionate physical connection.
Overall, the lyrics to "Herregud" capture the intense emotions of being deeply infatuated with someone, and the sense of losing oneself in their presence.
