Din hemlighet
Barbados Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Någon som vet?
Du döljer inom dig en stor hemlighet
Inatt du försvann så spårlöst i mörkret
Jag ropar ditt namn
Vänder mig om
och ser dig igen
Vill att du stannar hos mig
Har sökt i evigheter

Bland stjärnor och planeter
(Finns här ingen som vet ?)
Vad är din hemlighet?
Jag önskar nån kan svara
Få dig att förklara
(Måste våga så säg)
Din hemlighet stannar hos mig
Tiden försvann
när blickarna möttes - vi höll om varann
Luften stod still - jag hörde dig andas
Så djupt tätt intill
Men du försvann
Jag ensam stod kvar
Vet jag förtjänar ett svar
Har sökt i evigheter ...
... stannar hos mig ...
Vänder mig om
och ser dig igen
Vill att du stannar hos mig
Har sökt i evigheter ...

Har sökt i evigheter ...
Din hemlighet stannar hos mig

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Barbados's song "Din hemlighet" talks about someone who has a big secret that they are hiding. The singer is searching for this person desperately, as they vanished into the darkness of the night. The artist sings about the time when they met, how they felt each other's breaths and held onto each other, but suddenly this person disappeared. The singer wishes that this person can share their secret with them, wants to understand them better, and is asking if anyone else knows their secret.

The artist's emotions are portrayed perfectly in the lyrics, as they beg for the person to stay and reveal their secrets. The uncertainty about the secret makes the singer feel uneasy, wanting to know the truth but also fearing what that truth could be. The loneliness of the singer after the person leaves is also highlighted. The singer's desperation in finding the person and understanding their secret is the main theme of the song.
