The song "Gammal Og Vis" by Morten Harket is about his perspective on aging and not wanting to become old and wise, but instead wanting to embrace life and continue to live it to the fullest. He reminisces about his youth, mentioning the time he spent at Club 7 until closing time and waking up without his girlfriend. He also references historical events such as the fall of the Berlin Wall and how the world has changed since then. Harket expresses his desire to live life on his own terms, refusing to conform to societal expectations of aging gracefully. He mentions his intention to avoid nicotine, diet trends, and excessive exercise, instead choosing to enjoy good food and being content with his life. The phrase "gammal og vis" directly translates to "old and wise" in English, but Harket is rejecting this traditional notion and suggesting that there is more to life than growing old and wise. In essence, the song is about living life to the fullest and being content with oneself, regardless of age.
