In 1991 the band was completed by the guitarist Lars Lundevall. The new line-up recorded these albums:
Varme mennesker (Warm People) (1991), Neste sommer (Next summer) (1993), Mere (More) (1994), Sent og tidlig (Late and early) (1995), Stakkars (Miserable) (1997), Kast alle papirene (Throw away all the paper) (1999) and Midt i begynnelsen (In the middle of the beginning) (2002). Their debut LP "Suser avgårde" (1986), is regarded as one of their most popular records. The lyrics are very popular because they are very naïve & philosophic. They released their final record in 2002; "Midt i begynnelsen". In 2005, they released a compilation which is named "Festen er ikke over... det er kake igjen." ("The party ain't over... There's more cake left"). New album out now: "Trist å være glad" 2011.
Døden
deLillos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Denne tanken gjør meg ofte sprø
Milliarder av minner i en kjempelang kø
Jeg vil aldri rekke å si adjø
På den dagen da jeg skal også dø
Jeg tenker lite på hva som da skal skje
Mens andre bruker hele livet på å forberede det
Om å bli lykkelig et annet sted
Men jeg tenker lite på hva som da skal skje
Det er klart jeg kunne vel lært å slappe av
Hvis døden var et sted der alt skulle bare bli bra
Men slik det er så vil jeg ikke dra
Jeg vil være her hver eneste dag
Men det er klart jeg kunne vel lært å slappe av
Ah ah
Tenk en dag så skal jeg også dø
Tenk en dag så skal jeg også dø
Tenk en dag så skal jeg også dø
Vi skal også dø
Tenk en dag så skal jeg også dø
Vi skal også dø
Tenk en dag så skal jeg også dø
Vi skal også dø
Tenk en dag så skal jeg også dø
Vi skal også dø
Ah
The song "Døden" by deLillos is about the inevitability of death and the fear and uncertainty that comes with it. The lyrics reflect on how the thought of death can drive a person crazy, as they realize the sheer amount of memories they have accumulated over their lifetime and the realization that they will never be able to say goodbye to everyone and everything they love. The fear of death is also contrasted with religious beliefs, where some spend their entire lives preparing for the afterlife through prayer, while others place little emphasis on the unknown and continue to live in the present. The chorus repeats the title of the song, emphasizing the idea that death is an unavoidable reality for everyone.
The song's simple yet powerful lyrics reflect on a universal fear that all humans share. It acknowledges that death is always present, lurking in the back of our minds, but that we must continue to live in the present moment and cherish the time we have left. By addressing this topic, deLillos creates a sense of solidarity among listeners, reminding them that they are not alone in their fear of death.
