Somewhere In Stockholm
Avicii Lyrics

That's me right there on the corner, listening to Wu in my Walkman
I am standing on the corner, listening to Wu-Tang Clan on my Walkman

Neon lights at the water, reflecting the city I'm lost in
The water reflects the city's neon lights that surround me, a symbol of how lost I am

That's me right there on the corner, I one day would be leaving
I am standing on that same corner, dreaming of leaving this place for something greater

For a dream that I didn't have, that I'd one day would believe in
I am pursuing a dream that I didn't even realize I had, but now believe in its potential

Strange how the same place I ran from's The same place I think of whenever the chance comes It's inevitable, 'cause wherever I go
It's strange that even though I ran away from here, it's still the first place that comes to mind, wherever I go

I hear echoes of a thousand screams As I lay me down to sleep There's a black hole deep inside of me Reminding me, that I that I've lost my backbone Somewhere in Stockholm I lost my backbone, somewhere in Stockholm
I am tormented by the echoes of past traumas, as I lay down to sleep, haunted by the knowledge that I have lost my courage and willpower somewhere in Stockholm

I'm from a place where we never, openly show our emotions We drown our sorrows in bottomless bottles and leave them to float in the ocean
I come from a place where emotions are never shown openly, so we numb ourselves with alcohol and let our sorrows disappear into the vast ocean

I'm from a place where we never, separate people from people Some generalize, but in general I still believe that we are treated as equals
In my hometown, we never separate people based on their differences, and I still believe that we are all treated as equals

My father, my mother, my sister, my brother, my friends and my family's there My hope and my money, my innocence in a sense, almost lost everything here
My family and friends still live there, but in chasing my dreams, I almost lost everything valuable I had in my hometown

Right where I was founded, is right where I'll be found dead The streets of my backbone until I get back home
I know that one day, when it's all said and done, I'll be found dead in the very hometown where I was born and raised, on the very streets that define me

I'm not alone, I am the fire that burns not of the city, but out of the 'burbs A river that's just dying of thirst, I am a reverend lying in church A crack in the pattern, a miracle waiting to happen A promise that never was kept, one of those moments you'll never forget I am that feeling inside, the one we all know but can't really describe I am the blood spill, but I'm in love still
Although I may feel alone, I am a fire that burns outside of the city, an unquenched river still thirsting for more, a reverend lying in church waiting for a sign, a broken promise that still holds significant value, a feeling that is universal and can never be fully explained, and a heart full of love despite the blood that has been spilled

Somewhere in Stockholm, but I'm not alone Don't have to get by on my own, I'm finally home Hemma i Stockholm (Där jag hör hemma)
I may be lost in Stockholm, but I have finally found a sense of belonging and no longer feel alone, as I am home where I truly belong
