Tiger
[ingenting] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tiger, låt det gamla dö
Du är så dyster nuförtiden
Har du fastnat i dig själv?
Jag ser dig sjunka ner i djupet av den stora tomheten
Det finns en plats där du alltid har känt igen

Old Champ, har du blivit så tung?
Du stirrar på pokalerna du vann som ung
Och står kvar på festen trots att alla vänner har gått hem
Du slåss mot väderkvarnar nu min vän

Allting kommer och går
Det är sant och det är så svårt att hitta nåt att lita på
Du var min väg då
Var är du nu?

Oh, syster, låt din duva fly
Hon svävar ibland molnen på en rosa sky
Regnet har slutat falla nu över Enskede gård
Men du hittar en pöl att plaska i ändå

Vem sa att kärleken aldrig bränns så att det gör ont?
Nu har du ingen kvar att lämna
Var är du nu?

Gick vilse som barn
Min syster och jag
Det är aldrig ett försvar
Men det är ett svar på idag
Livet gör dig svag
Det är så det ska va




Vänder inte om
Det är början på sorg

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of [ingenting]'s song "Tiger" speak to themes of introspection, nostalgia, and the fleeting nature of life. The song opens with the plea to let go of the past and its burdens, as the singer addresses someone who has become melancholic and trapped within themselves. They observe this person sinking deeper into the void of emptiness, suggesting that there is a place within themselves that they have always recognized. It could be interpreted as a call for self-reflection and a reminder to embrace change and growth.


The second verse introduces the character of Old Champ, someone who reminisces about their past achievements but remains rooted in the glory days. They continue to attend parties even after their friends have left, fighting imaginary battles now. This can be seen as a commentary on holding onto past accomplishments while life moves on, unable to let go of the past and adapt to the present.


The chorus emphasizes the transient nature of everything in life. Everything comes and goes, making it difficult to find something to rely on. The singer reminisces about the past when the person they address was their guide or path. However, they question where this person is now, suggesting that they have lost their way.


The third verse shifts the narrative to the perspective of a sister, urging her dove to fly freely. The dove symbolizes freedom and escape from earthly concerns. Rain has stopped falling over Enskede gård (a neighborhood in Stockholm), but the sister finds joy even in small puddles. This highlights the ability to find happiness in unexpected places and make the most of the present moment.


The lyrics then pose the question of who claimed that love never burns and hurts. The singer highlights the feeling of being left with no one to leave, possibly suggesting that relationships have ended or people have moved on. This further emphasizes the fleeting and sometimes painful nature of love.


The song concludes with the acknowledgment of getting lost as children and siblings, recognizing that it is not a defense but an answer to the challenges faced today. Life weakens you, and that is how it is supposed to be. There is no turning back, as this is just the beginning of sorrow. This final verse hints at the inevitability of hardships in life and the need to confront them head-on.
