Verden skulle gå under
Sirkus Eliassen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alt ordna sæ alltid
Det ordna sæ, det ordna sæ
Alt ordna sæ alltid
Det ordna sæ, ja æ veit,
Men æ kan'ke la det vent.
Her og nu, kvalitet, kvantitet.
Berre ha det fett, 21. desember
Inn i et sort hull.
Så du kan like gjerne berre være med og lage fest
Av bibelske proposjona. Glem alt du har læst
Om at Gud vil test oss, at Gud vil test musikken.
Du der testa mæ og la? klinikken.
Tilgi meg fader, for æ har synda.
Æ trudde verden sku' gå under og
æ trudde allting sku' gå over, over oh.
Herregud, for et liv, prøv og vær litt positiv.
Gjør alt det det? for å ha det koselig.
Det e på tide sier det.
Alt blir verre når man står og pirr det.
Verden, den går under, men livet, det, går videre, så
En Gud alle??
Har bestæmt sæ for at denne?
Ska'kke sitt og sutr i bomberommet?
Æ skal oppfyll din villeste fantasi, det e et løfte
Her kommer syndefloden, vi ska' surf den.
(Datastemme)
Æ trudde verden sku' gå under og
æ trudde allting sku' gå over, over oh.
Æ trudde verden sku' gå under og
æ trudde allting sku' gå over, over oh.
Men det ordna sæ, det ordna sæ.
Alt ordna sæ alltid
Det ordna sæ, det ordna sæ.
Alt ordna sæ alltid.
Ka ville du gjort om du fikk en te sjanse?
Har du noe på hjertet?
Si det nu.?... pompøse tona av luftgitarspel,
Men da har livet vært en fest.
Blir du med på nachspiel? (på nachspiel, blir du med på nachspiel?)
Æ trudde verden sku' gå under under, og
æ trodde allting sku' gå over
Æ trudde verden sku' gå under under, og
æ trodde allting sku' gå over
Det ordna sæ, det ordna sæ
Alt ordna sæ alltid
Det ordna sæ, det ordna sæ
Alt ordna sæ alltid
Det ordna sæ, det ordna sæ
Alt ordna sæ alltid
Men det sjansen e æ ikke villig te å ta
The song "Verden skulle gå under" by Sirkus Eliassen speaks about the impending end of the world that is believed to happen on December 21, three days before Christmas. The lyrics encourage people to forget about the fear and panic that may come with the prophesized end of the world and enjoy the present moment while it lasts. The song emphasizes the idea of living in the moment and not worrying about the future, as everything will eventually work out.
The lyrics convey the message that life might be challenging at times, but it always turns out okay. The lines "Det ordna sæ, det ordna sæ, Alt ordna sæ alltid" (it'll work out, it'll work out; it always works out) reinforce the idea that no matter how dire the situation might seem, things will ultimately fall into place.
The song also touches on the idea of forgiveness and redemption through the line "Tilgi meg fader, for æ har synda" (Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned). While the reference to religion might be subtle, it suggests that one should seek forgiveness and make things right while they still can.
Overall, "Verden skulle gå under" aims to inspire people to take a lighthearted approach to life and enjoy every moment, without focusing too much on the future or worrying too much about what lies ahead.
