Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
jag har ingenting av värde
men min längtan är äkta
det här är inte nästan
detta är precis
do är inte ensam
do är bara envis
nu skall vi dansa efter min pipa
jag har ingenting av värde
men min längtan är äkta
där är en på tronen
en annan står på knä
där är en som täljer guld
en annan sågar trä
jag kommer in i bilden
om do vill det eller ej
jag tänker tuta i luren
om do vill dansa
dansa med mig
nu skall vi dansa efter min pipa
sen skall vi dansa efter din pipa
vi har ingenting av värde
men vår längtan är äkta
jag går med dig
genom glassplitter
jag går med dig
mot fågelkvitter (x2)
The song "Dansa efter min pipa" by Bob Hund is about the desire for connection and the power dynamics in relationships. The chorus "Nu skall vi dansa efter min pipa" (Now we will dance to my tune) sets the tone for the song's main theme; the singer wants to control the situation and have the other person follow their lead.
The song begins with the singer acknowledging that they don't have anything valuable to offer. Instead, their longing for connection is genuine. They emphasize that this is not a half-hearted attempt, but rather an all-in moment. The chorus then repeats, with the singer mentioning that the other person is not alone - they are simply stubborn.
The second verse describes various power dynamics, with someone on the throne and someone on their knees, someone carving gold and someone sawing wood. The singer seemingly doesn't fit into these dynamics, but they want to be a part of the situation nonetheless. They will blow their horn, and if the other person wants to dance, then they will follow the singer's lead.
The song finishes with the two people dancing together, acknowledging that neither of them has anything of value except their genuine desire to connect.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the power dynamics in relationships and the desire for control. The singer is willing to be vulnerable and take the lead if it means a deeper connection with the other person.
