Jag backar nu
Jag slutar upp
Jag vill ju vara allting som du vill ha
Som du menar
Jag sitter på din hand
Letar efter rum, hittar inte nog
Ingenting låter lika vackert som det gjort
Fick aldrig nog
Ville se mer än nog
Tror du jag ser allting?
Tror du jag vet allting?
Tror du jag ser allting?
Tror du jag vet allting?
Cigarett på oh, tuggar du på pommes?
Hon sa det som råd att leva utan ångest
Men ingen annan såg alla mina sår
Jag blåste på min jacka
Mera vax i mitt hår
Samlade på ord
Jag låtsades förstod
Skrev bara texter som jag inte alls förstod
Men sanningen är i år
Inget är för alltid
Jag trodde jag var smart men shit vad jag är klantig
Tror du jag ser allting?
Tror du jag vet allting?
Tror du jag ser allting?
Tror du jag vet allting?
Jag vill ju vara allting som du vill ha
Letar efter rum, hittar inte nog
En gån var jag inte rädd för nåt
Ville se mer än nog
The lyrics to Veronica Maggio's 1987 song are about a desire to please someone else and be everything they want. The first verse expresses a sense of confusion and uncertainty about what the other person is doing, leading the singer to back off and stop trying so hard. The second verse includes a reference to smoking a cigarette and eating french fries, perhaps portraying an image of trying to be cool and carefree. The third verse talks about pretending to understand things and writing lyrics that aren't fully comprehended. The chorus repeats the question of whether the singer knows everything or not.
The theme of the song seems to be the struggle to find oneself while also trying to fit into someone else's expectations. It touches on the pressure to be perfect and how that can lead to feelings of inadequacy and not knowing oneself fully. The repeated chorus suggests a sense of being lost and unsure.

Here I Go Again, Whitesnake
No I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Though I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray, you give me strength to carry on
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
I'm just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity
And I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Ooh baby, oh yeah
And I've made up my mind, oh baby
I ain't wasting no more time
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known

This one is kind of nostalgic, isn't it?
@MarioMex
@Perro Bueno Totally. George Michael, Michael Hutchence and Nick Kamen are no longer with us 😥

@adelaidedupont9017
@MarioMex International Mixes I had forgotten about Kamen.
@adelaidedupont9017
Great that you began with the Cure - they seem to be everywhere, especially [Australian radio station] Triple J's hottest 100 over the past 30 years.

I can't say enough about how important and powerful the music was in the 80's. The passion, conviction, and power was so palpable. We cranked up the volume and sang our hearts out because we knew every lyric. This is the closest thing to a time machine for those of us who were there. Long live the 80's. Thank you.
