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.
Halvveis rundt jorden
deLillos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hvor mange skritt som et menneske tar?
Halvveis rundt jorden
Det blir påstått å være et svar
Så hvor langt har du gått til nå?
Hvor er det du skal hen?
Hvis du velger å ikke slå følge med en venn
Du-du-du, du-du-du du-du-du, du-du-du
Du-du-du, du-du-du-du
Halvveis rundt jorden
Det er bedre å da være to
Hvis du går til venstre, og jeg til høyre
Kan vi møtes til slutt vil jeg tro
Så hvor langt har vi gått til nå?
Hvor er det vi skal hen?
Hvis vi velger å ikke slå følgе med en venn
Du-du-du, du-du-du du-du-du, du-du-du
Du-du-du, du-du-du-du
Du-du-du, du-du-du du-du-du, du-du-du
Du-du-du, du-du-du-du
Vеt du, i løpet av livet
Hvor mange skritt som et menneske tar?
Halvveis rundt jorden
Det blir påstått å være et svar
Halvveis rundt jorden
Det er bedre å da være to
Hvis du går til venstre, og jeg til høyre
Kan vi møtes til slutt vil jeg tro
Så hvor langt har vi gått til nå?
Hvor er det vi skal hen?
Du-du-du, du-du-du du-du-du, du-du-du
Du-du-du, du-du-du-du
Du-du-du, du-du-du du-du-du, du-du-du
Du-du-du, du-du-du-du
Du-du-du, du-du-du du-du-du, du-du-du
Du-du-du, du-du-du-du
Du-du-du, du-du-du du-du-du, du-du-du
Du-du-du, du-du-du-du
The lyrics of deLillos's song "Halvveis rundt jorden" reflect a contemplative and introspective perspective on the journey of life and the importance of companionship along the way. The opening lines pose a rhetorical question about the number of steps a person takes in their life, suggesting that halfway around the earth may hold some answer. This sets the tone for a reflection on the vastness of life's path and the significance of human connections in navigating it.
The recurring theme of being halfway around the world symbolizes a metaphorical distance traveled in life, hinting at the idea of being at a point of no return or a significant juncture. The suggestion that it is better to have someone by your side at this midpoint reinforces the idea that companionship and shared experiences can enrich the journey and provide support in times of uncertainty or decision-making. The lyrics emphasize the importance of not walking alone and the potential for convergence despite taking different paths.
The repetition of the questioning about the distance traveled and the destination highlights a sense of uncertainty and reflection on one's personal journey. The decision to either follow or diverge from a friend's path is presented as a choice that can shape the course of one's life and relationships. The use of the refrain "Du-du-du" adds a rhythmic and hypnotic quality to the song, drawing the listener into the contemplative mood of the lyrics.
As the song's lyrics come full circle with a repetition of the initial questioning about the number of steps taken in life and the assertion that being halfway around the world is better with a companion, the message becomes clearer. The notion of meeting at the end despite choosing different directions underscores the idea of shared experiences and the potential for reunion or connection even after diverging paths. Overall, the lyrics of "Halvveis rundt jorden" invite reflection on the journey of life, the significance of relationships, and the choices that shape our paths.
