Sankt Hans
Embrace the Fire of Liberation in 'Sankt Hans' by Karen Cecilie Cæsar
Lyrics
I know you wonder
I understand that you are curious
If it's all too much to carry
Wondering if the burden is too heavy
I know you think about it all the time
Aware that you constantly contemplate it
But there's no way to find all the dreams that you have buried
Unable to retrieve buried dreams
If you're not ready to see the signs
If you are unwilling to recognize the signs
Another turning point
A critical moment for decision
Another night where you can run if you want
Another night where escape is an option
But I'll be looking for shadow
Searching for darkness intentionally
I know it's always here with me
Acknowledging the persistent presence of shadow
And the days are getting shorter now
Days are becoming shorter
So maybe we should light a fire
Suggesting the idea of lighting a fire
They say the darkness is running free
Noting that darkness is prevailing
So we can burn all the things that we don't like
Burning undesirable aspects of life
The things that keep us awake at night
References to troubles keeping one awake
I think I'll burn my birth certificate
Symbolic act of rejecting one's birth identity
Cause I don't care about my age anymore
Indifference towards age
And all insurance policies
Disregard for unnecessary insurance policies
And the things that we won't ever need
Rejecting possessions never needed
And the fear that we don't wanna feed
Refusing to nourish fears
And the bills that we won't pay
Choosing not to pay certain bills
So how are you feeling now
Inquiring about emotional well-being
Is your head and heart still aching
Checking if there is still emotional pain
I feel my chest is about to explore
Sensation of impending emotional release
But if this is a taste of freedom
If this feeling represents freedom
Then that's all I ever wanted
Expressing desire for the perceived freedom
Then that's all I need to know
Accepting freedom as a sufficient goal
Yeah we can burn all the things that we don't like
Reiteration of burning undesirable aspects
The things that keep us awake at night
Repeating the concept of troubles at night
I think I'll burn my birth certificate
Symbolic rejection of birth identity
Cause I don't care about my age anymore
Emphasizing indifference towards age
And all insurance policies
Renouncing unnecessary insurance policies
And the notes from 2017
Discarding memories from 2017
And the fear that we don't wanna feed
Choosing not to nourish fears
And the bills that we won't pay
Intention to avoid certain bills
Can you feel it?
Questioning the sensory experience
The moon
Noting the presence of the moon
And the smell of salt and midsummer dew
Describing the aroma of salt and midsummer dew
Oh it softens the lines of your skin
Highlighting the impact on skin appearance
So don't wrinkle up your face again
Advising against facial wrinkling
Now there's magic in the blue breeze
Attributing magic to the environment
And in the old oak trees
Noting magical elements in nature
And the grass is alive
Emphasizing vitality of the grass
On midsummer nights
Observation of vitality during midsummer nights
