Monument
Thoma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
svart vin i fyllda glas
vita sorger på ett fat
rena som skelett
Sörj inte vinet som vi spillt
säj inte mer om skuld
Så, notan är betald
vi dröjer inte kvar
Lämnar Minnets Monument
där färgen fryser, allt är bränt
Ut till i morron och till nu
där vi hör hemma, jag och du
Håll min arm och håll mej varm
Kom vi går, vänd inte om
in i rasande ruin
Vi dröjer inte kvar
Vi går hem
Lämnar Minnets Monument
där färgen fryser, allt är bränt
Ut till i morron och till nu
där vi hör hemma, jag och du
The lyrics of Thoma's song, "Monument" beginning with "Grå blommor i en vas" describe a scene where there are gray flowers in a vase, black wine in filled glasses, and white sorrows on a plate that are pure as skeletons. The singer implores the listener not to mourn the spilled wine or speak of guilt anymore, as the bill has been paid, and they won't linger around. They are going home, leaving behind a Monument of Memory where the colors freeze and everything is burned. The lyrics suggest that the singer and their companion are moving on from a past they cannot escape and are embracing the present and the future.
The song is a powerful ode to acceptance and moving on, and the lyrics are evocative and poetic. The imagery of the colors freezing and everything being burned is haunting and speaks to the idea of a memory that is both vivid and yet entirely destructive. The singer and their companion choose to leave it behind and move forward, which is a message that can resonate with anyone who has experienced trauma or difficult circumstances. Overall, the song is a beautiful tribute to the resilience of the human spirit.
