about
Arvid: The song was created in GarageBand on my mobile phone after the longest and most depressing scrolling session on social media. I was endlessly swiping for something to fulfill me. Through sampled synth sounds, these melodies emerged like a saving grace, helping me out of my indifference. "Hjältesaga" is about finding motivation to carry yourself through life, through its inevitable trials and depressions. It is about the dreams that have taken hold inside you and seem to stand up to the pressures of everyday trials. It is about he endless scrolling in search for something bigger and more meaningful.
lyrics
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
This road leads me into debt, weary and tired
Losing confidence
Will reach out for help, only when the body is breaking
The last mile
Show me the hero’s journey
Tell me the myth of all the self made men
My hands up towards the sky
That’s where our dreams fly
The world will open up
So burn of my masks old armor
A strange light flickers in the sky
That’s where our dreams fly
This road leads me into debt, weary and tired
Losing confidence
Will have to reach for help, to manage this climb
The last mile
Show me the hero’s journey
See how our seeds sprout all around
Like wings above
Our dreams fly
Standing in the shadows
Wish I’d dare to step
Into the house
Can’t wait much longer
My body is screaming
Give me the light
That’s where our dreams fly (4x)
This road leads me into debt, weary and tired
Losing confidence
Will reach out for help, only when the body is breaking
The last mile
Show me the hero’s journey
Tell me the myth of all the self made men
My hands up towards the sky
That’s where our dreams fly
The world will open up
So burn of my masks old armor
A strange light flickers in the sky
That’s where our dreams fly
This road leads me into debt, weary and tired
Losing confidence
Will have to reach for help, to manage this climb
The last mile
Show me the hero’s journey
See how our seeds sprout all around
Like wings above
Our dreams fly
Standing in the shadows
Wish I’d dare to step
Into the house
Can’t wait much longer
My body is screaming
Give me the light
That’s where our dreams fly (4x)
