Myr
Taake Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Som en tyv I lyngen kommer smitten snikende
Vжsken av rеtnende frukter
Ekko av den lukten
Blott et hensvunnet minne
Gravlagt I mitt fargelшse indre

Jeg er mange udyr
Himmelen ligger begravet her
Nedover

Intet ly fra regnet
Stеr stoisk og ser pе at havet stiger
Et levende helvete
Til dшden innhenter og befrir





Pris djevelen vжre lovet
Han forfшrer deres dшtre

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Taake's song Myr depict a protagonist as a thief sneaking through the heather, with the air heavy with the stench of rotting fruit. There is an echo of this odor that is a remnant of memories long gone which are buried deep within the singer's lifeless interior. The singer later reveals that he is many beasts, and the sky lies buried in his psyche. The singer observes stoically as the rain pours down, and he is fully aware of the rising tide. The listener is then introduced to a living hell that the singer must endure until death comes for him and sets him free. The singer then praises the devil, who seduces their daughters.
