Von Hertzen Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Words: Von Hertzen Brothers / L.A.Skin
Far, far away from us
White horses they run
Under the midnight sun
Far, far away from us
Carved by the captain for his sons
And now it's time to wake up those sleeping soldiers
And to play without fear
The adventure will start right here
And right now, as we're ready to sing out
Gloria!
Gloria!
We can relive those times
Of young warriors
Gloria!
Gloria!
We can instill this life
In euphoria
Beyond the veil
Three bandits they sail
Adding songs to their tale
And this time
They've arrived in this precious moment
Only to leave again
'Cause this story of three allies has no end
Battle!
Gloria!
Gloria!
We can relive those times
Of young warriors
Gloria!
Gloria!
We can instill our lives
In euphoria
In Euphoria
Euphoria
The Von Hertzen Brothers' song Gloria tells a story that is set far away from the listener, in a place where white horses run under the midnight sun. It also features three pirates who have drawn their guns, which have been carved by the captain for his sons. The song invites the listener to wake up the sleeping soldiers and embark on an adventure. The refrain of the song is "Gloria," as if proclaiming a victory after a great battle. The song encourages listeners to relive the times of young warriors, to live their lives with euphoria.
The first verse of the song paints a beautiful image of a place that is distant and far away from the listener. The white horses running under the midnight sun create an image of freedom, strength, and beauty. The second verse introduces the pirates, who are also a representation of freedom and adventure. The refrain of the song is an invitation to join in the adventure, to experience the thrill of victory and to relive the times of young warriors. The final verse suggests that the adventure never ends and that the journey is ongoing.
