Allting går
Bo Kaspers Orkester Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Allting går. Alltid samma fråga varför då
Det finns tusen vägar om du vill
Om du orkar leva lite till.
Allting går.
Alla ville hoppa på ditt tåg
Allting går.
Det finns tusen sätt att hoppa av
När du inte längre orkar vaaaaaara, kvar.
Solo
Allting går.
Alla vill vi mer än vi kan få
Allting går.
Livet som vi lever känns så svårt
Det finns tusen vägar om vi vill
Snälla orka lite till
Och vi ska ta oss här i, ta oss här i från.
Instrumental outro
The lyrics to Bo Kaspers Orkester's song Allting går address the fleeting nature of life and the difficulties that come with it. The repetition of the phrase "allting går" (everything goes) creates a sense of inevitability, as if life is constantly in motion and we are just along for the ride. The verses describe the internal struggle of hearing echoing voices questioning the purpose and meaning of life, while also recognizing the desire to keep going and find new paths. The chorus shifts focus to the external pressures of society, where people are quick to jump on the bandwagon and just as quickly forget about it. However, there are still ways to detach from this cycle and find new paths, even when it feels like life is too difficult to bear.
The lyrics to "Allting går" convey a sense of contemplative introspection, taking both an inward and outward perspective on life's complexities. They speak to the human desire to seek meaning and find a place in the world, while also acknowledging the realities of societal pressure and the inevitability of change.
