Längtan skala 3:1
Kent Lyrics

The above lyrics are from the chorus of Kent's song "Längtan skala 3:1," which translates to "Desire Scale 3:1." The verses suggest that the singer is being given a new identity or a new chance, perhaps in exchange for something. The lines "Vi kan skada dig hur mycket som helst, men vi ger dig chansen att göra det själv" (We can hurt you as much as we want, but we give you the chance to do it yourself) hints at a sinister element to this exchange. The chorus adds to this sense of ambiguity with the repeated line "Jag kan inte minnas någonting, Jag kan inte känna någonting" (I can't remember anything, I can't feel anything). The chorus suggests that the singer may have given up their agency in exchange for this new opportunity or identity.

The lyrics of "Längtan skala 3:1" are open to interpretation, but some have suggested that the song is about the dangers of modern society's obsession with fame and reinvention. The reference to being someone's "camera" and "photographer" could be interpreted as a reference to the media and the pressure to constantly recreate oneself for public consumption. The repetition of "ingenting" (nothing) in the chorus could suggest that the singer has lost their sense of self in this exchange. The haunting melody and sparse instrumentation add to the sense of unease in the song.
