Jeg vet
Siri Nilsen Lyrics

The lyrics of Siri Nilsen's song Jeg vet depict a struggle with anxiety and uncertainty. The repetition of "jeg vet" (I know) throughout the song is almost like a mantra or a desperate attempt to convince oneself of something. The lyrics acknowledge the inevitability of difficult times and the fear of the unknown. The use of the phrase "jeg vil høre noen si" (I want someone to say) highlights the singer's desire for comfort and reassurance from others. However, the vagueness of the statement "det skal gå over" (it will pass) that they seek seems to suggest that there is no clear solution or end to the anxiety.

The second verse adds another layer to the song by revealing that the singer has been through this before and knows how it goes, implying a sense of hopelessness and repetition. The final verse offers a glimmer of hope in the form of a distant future where the present struggles will be a distant memory, but the uncertainty of whether or not the memory will persist highlights the temporary nature of all things.
