Despite the fact that Labrador only release Swedish artists, this is actually the very first band which actually sings in Swedish! It's not that Labrador doesn't like the Swedish language, it's just that this is the first band singing in Swedish that's been amazing enough to be released there.

Their debut EP Ingenting Är Lätt was released in digipak in May 2004. With influences ranging from Velvet Underground and Pixies to Beach Boys and a Swedish 70's touch the band refuses to admit, [ingenting] manages to sound like nothing else but themselves.

Right now the band can be heard on national radio in Sweden and seen on live scenes all over the country.

Bergochdalbanan
[ingenting] Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nu är det längesen jag var där
på den där klubben alla snackar om
Jag har stannat hemma enda sen du drog
utan dig rasar min värld ihop

Det är länge sen jag var full
jag har hållt mig vit för mina vänners skull
Glada nätter slutade jämt med

att jag sårade och sade saker som blev helt fel

Stockholm city, neonljus
coola kola-människor och lilla du
Taxi, dörrvakt, krossat glas
bergochdalbanan och lilla jag
Här är det som blev kvar
det som blev kvar
oooh-oh-oooh

Nu är det längesen jag var hög
jag har stannat nere för mitt hjärtas skull
Förr om åren var jag alltid väck
jag kunde stanna borta flera dar i sträck

Stockholm city, neonljus
coola kola-människor och lilla du
Taxi, dörrvakt, krossat glas
bergochdalbanan och lilla jag
Här är det som blev kvar
det som blev kvar
oooh-oh-oooh

Stockholm city, neonljus
coola kola-människor och lilla du
Taxi, dörrvakt, krossat glas
bergochdalbanan och lilla jag
oooh-oh-oooh

oooh-oh-oooh
oooh-oh-oooh

Overall Meaning

The song "Bergochdalbanan" by [ingenting] is a melancholic reflection on the loss of a loved one and the toll that it has taken on the singer's life. The lyrics describe the singer's reluctance to leave their home since the departure of their loved one, as well as their decision to maintain sobriety for the sake of their well-being and that of their friends. Through references to the city lights, cool people, and broken glass, the singer describes the nightlife scenes that they used to frequent with their loved one. They reflect on their own destructive behavior in the past and how it impacted their relationships. The title of the song, “Bergochdalbanan”, which means “rollercoaster”, is a metaphor for the ups and downs of life.

Overall, the lyrics portray a sense of longing and regret, as the singer grapples with the absence of a significant other and the nostalgia for their past life. The repetition of the chorus, which references the city lights, cool people, taxi rides, and broken glass, creates a sense of déjà vu and reinforces the notion that the singer is stuck in a cycle of reminiscing about the past.
