Hej då
1987 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Under dina naglar
Under dina ögonlock
Inuti din lilla kropp
Jag letar efter någon
Som får mig att växa upp
Och sluta va ett sånt jävla barn
Som inte fuckar upp allt
Man jagar nåt man inte ser
Men jag kommer alltid va såhär
Uppblåst i tv sfär
Ju längre in och mörkare
Jag försvinner jag blir tunnare
Så det här är nog lika bra
För han i drömmen vill jag hellre va
Hej då
Och du tar på dig allting
Men jag släpper ingen in
Under min stora blåa jacka
Pumpar hjärtat ut ingenting
Vad ser du som ingen ser
Jag har letat så länge att jag har gett upp
Jag trodde typ på dig
Bara ord mina demoner
Du river upp såren
Jag har ögat på nålen
Jag trodde typ på dig
Bara ord mina demoner
Du river upp såren
Jag har ögat på nålen
Hej då
The lyrics to the song "Hej då" by 1987 delve into themes of self-discovery, longing for growth and maturity, and the struggle to navigate through life's complexities. The singer is searching for someone who can help them mature and move away from their childish tendencies. They express frustration with constantly making mistakes and chasing after something that remains elusive. Despite their efforts to change, the singer acknowledges that they will always be trapped within the confines of their own insecurities and insignificance, feeling inflated within the realm of television where they disappear further into darkness.
The chorus reveals a sense of detachment and guardedness as the singer bids farewell. They express a desire to shield themselves emotionally, refusing to let anyone in, while their heart pumps out nothing. The singer contemplates what others do not see in them, questioning their worthiness after a long and fruitless search for validation. They admit to believing in something or someone, perhaps suggesting a romantic relationship, but realize that it was only empty words and their own demons that tore open wounds. The closing words "Hej då" can be interpreted as a final farewell, signifying a detachment from the disappointments and attempts at finding meaning.

Visa mig vad du har
Show me what you possess
Under dina naglar
Beneath your fingernails
Under dina ögonlock
Behind your eyelids
Inuti din lilla kropp
Inside your small body
Jag letar efter någon
I am searching for someone
Som får mig att växa upp
Who will make me grow up
Och sluta va ett sånt jävla barn
And stop being such a damn child
Som inte fuckar upp allt
Who doesn't mess everything up
Det blir alltid så jävla fel
It always goes so damn wrong
Man jagar nåt man inte ser
One chases something they can't see
Men jag kommer alltid va såhär
But I will always be like this
Uppblåst i tv sfär
Inflated in a TV sphere
Ju längre in och mörkare
The further in and darker
Jag försvinner jag blir tunnare
I disappear, I become thinner
Så det här är nog lika bra
So this is probably just as good
För han i drömmen vill jag hellre va
Because in the dream, I'd rather be him
Hej då
Goodbye
Och du tar på dig allting
And you take on everything
Men jag släpper ingen in
But I don't let anyone in
Under min stora blåa jacka
Underneath my big blue jacket
Pumpar hjärtat ut ingenting
My heart pumps out nothing
Vad ser du som ingen ser
What do you see that no one else sees
Jag har letat så länge att jag har gett upp
I have searched for so long that I have given up
Jag trodde typ på dig
I kind of believed in you
Bara ord mina demoner
Just words, my demons
Du river upp såren
You tear open the wounds
Jag har ögat på nålen
I have my eye on the needle
Jag trodde typ på dig
I kind of believed in you
Bara ord mina demoner
Just words, my demons
Du river upp såren
You tear open the wounds
Jag har ögat på nålen
I have my eye on the needle
Hej då
Goodbye
