Harpun
Solen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Harpun med stålhulling på
Jag syns
du missar mig ändå
Harpun
jag har gjort mig fin
Det här är Armors sista pil

Jag är hellre i en lögn

än att vara ensam
Hellre ha ett sår
Jag vill vara träffad

Sanningen är långt härifrån
Långt bort
något jag aldrig kommer nå
Harpun
jag har gjort mig fin
Det här är Armors sista pil

Hellre i en lögn
än att vara ensam

Hellre ha ett sår
Jag vill vara träffad

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Solen's song "Harpun" convey a sense of longing and desire for connection, expressed through the metaphor of a harpoon. The singer acknowledges that despite their efforts to make themselves attractive and noticeable, they are still being missed or overlooked by someone. The repetition of the phrase "harpun, jag har gjort mig fin" (harpoon, I have made myself pretty) suggests that the singer is trying to present themselves in the best possible light, hoping to capture the attention and affection of the person they address.

The singer then admits that they would rather be in a lie or illusion than be alone. They would rather have a wound or feel hurt because it means that they have been touched or affected in some way. The lyrics express a yearning for real connection and a fear of being left behind or unseen. The image of the harpoon as "Armors sista pil" (Armor's last arrow) implies that this is their final attempt to reach the person they desire, emphasizing the urgency and desperation behind their longing.
