Particles
Love Beyond Reach: Unveiling the Cosmic Metaphor in Malin Pettersen's 'Particles'
Lyrics
I hear scientists say particles move in the strangest ways
Particles have unpredictable movements that are often difficult to understand or predict.
That some can move in waves and sometimes even fly through space
Particles can exhibit wave-like behavior and, in certain contexts, can move freely through space.
Not the strongest telescope can see its flight but yet we know
Even with advanced technology like telescopes, some particle movements are invisible or undetectable.
That it has to be there because it has to be so
We acknowledge the existence of particles due to scientific evidence and theories.
Just like the love I have for you
The singer compares the unpredictability of particles to the depth and nature of their love.
I don't know if you feel it always but it's always true
The depth and sincerity of the singer's love is constant, even if the other person doesn't always recognize or reciprocate it.
The love I have for you
Reiteration of the depth and constancy of the singer's love for the other person.
If you think it's gone it's just beyond your reach
If one feels that the love has diminished or disappeared, it's merely perceived and not the actual truth.
Just like the stars above
Stars, often used as symbols of constancy, are likened to the consistent nature of the singer's love.
There are bad times up ahead and politicians power play
The world has its challenges, including political unrest and power struggles.
And while we are watching we will be tempted to say
During times of turmoil, there's a tendency to feel that all positive aspects are diminishing.
That as long as they are fighting all the good is dying fast
When conflicts arise, it can seem like goodness in the world is fading rapidly.
But I know there's a secret that will make the good world last
However, the singer believes in a hidden or unknown factor that ensures the persistence of good in the world.
Just like the love I have for you
The love is described again, emphasizing its unwavering nature.
I don't know if you feel it always but it's always true
Even if the other person doesn't always perceive it, the love remains genuine.
The love I have for you
Reiteration of the depth and constancy of the singer's love for the other person.
If you think it's gone it's just beyond you reach
If one feels that the love has diminished or disappeared, it's merely perceived and not the actual truth.
Just like the stars above
Stars, symbols of constancy, are referenced again to emphasize the enduring nature of love.
And as the planet moves through space
The Earth's movement in space is referenced, highlighting its journey and trajectory.
Gravity will leave behind its trace
As the Earth moves, it leaves behind traces or impacts due to gravitational forces.
What we do don't mean a thing
Our actions and endeavors might seem insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
Except for things that we give meaning
The significance of our actions is determined by the meaning we assign to them.
Just like the love I have for you
The singer reiterates the depth and constancy of their love.
The love I have for you
Reiteration of the singer's unwavering love for the other person.
If you think it's gone it's just beyond you reach
If one feels that the love has diminished or disappeared, it's merely perceived and not the actual truth.
Just like the stars above
Stars are once again used to symbolize the enduring nature of love.
If you think it's gone
If one feels that the love has diminished or disappeared, it's merely perceived and not the actual truth.
If you think it's gone
-If you think it's gone it's just beyond you reach
-Just like the stars above
Stars, symbols of constancy, are referenced again to emphasize the enduring nature of love.
