I samma bil
Bo Kaspers Orkester Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tusen år och tusen mil, vi sitter i samma bil.
Om det här är vad du vill, kan jag åka tusen till
En silverfärgad bil, vi sitter i samma bil.
Vi sitter i samma bil, en silvergrå missil
En bomb i motsatt fil, vi sitter i samma bil.
Om man somnar för en stund, tar det slut på en sekund
För vi har varann, för vi har varann
Det finns dom som säger, jag tror det är sant.
Det finns ingenting, det finns ingenting vi inte kan,
För vi har varann.
Jag behöver dig just nu, för mig finns bara du
För mig finns bara du, jag behöver dig just nu.
Om man somnar för en stund, tar det slut på en sekund
En silvergrå missil, vi sitter i samma bil.
För vi har varann, för vi har varann
Det finns dom som säger, jag tror det är sant
Det finns ingenting, det finns ingenting vi inte kan.
För vi har varann, för vi har varann,
Det finns dom som säger, jag tror det är sant
Det finns ingenting, det finns ingenting vi inte kan,
För vi har varann.
Tusen år och tusen mil, vi kan åka tusen till
Tusen år och tusen mil, vi kan åka tusen till
Tusen år och tusen mil, vi kan åka tusen till
Tusen år och tusen mil, vi kan åka tusen till
Tusen år och tusen mil.
The song "I samma bil" by the Swedish group Bo Kaspers Orkester is a heartfelt ballad about two people who sit together in the same car, facing an uncertain future but relying on each other for strength and support. The lyrics speak to the idea that no matter how far they may travel or how long they may be together, they will always have each other and that is all that truly matters.
The opening lines set the tone for the song, with the repeated refrain "Vi sitter i samma bil" (We sit in the same car) setting up the central metaphor for the piece. The singers reflect on the vast distances that separate them, both in time and space, but also on the powerful bond that unites them. The verses describe the car as a "silvergrå missil" (silver-grey missile) and "en bomb i motsatt fil" (a bomb in the opposite lane), emphasizing the intense energy and potential danger of their journey. Despite this, the singers are determined to face whatever lies ahead together, and find comfort and strength in each other's presence.
The chorus emphasizes this idea of mutual support and reliance, with the repeated refrain "För vi har varann" (Because we have each other) underscoring the importance of their relationship. The singers acknowledge that there may be challenges and obstacles ahead, but they are confident that they can overcome them as long as they stick together.
Overall, "I samma bil" is a poignant and heartfelt tribute to the power of human connection and the importance of finding strength and support in others. It speaks to the idea that no matter how far we may travel or how long we may be together, we can always find comfort and companionship in the company of those we love.

We're sitting in the same car
We're sitting in the same car
A thousand years and a thousand miles
We're sitting in the same car
If this is whatever you want
We can go another thousand miles
A silver arrow
We're sitting in the same car
We're sitting in the same car
A silver missile
A bomb in the opposite lane
We're sitting in the same car
If you fall asleep for one moment
It ends in a second
And I've wanted to die with style
We're sitting in the same car
'Cause we've got each other
'Cause we've got each other
And there are people who say
I think it's true
That there's nothing
There's nothing we can't do
'Cause we've got each other
I need you right now
Only you exist for me
Only you exist for me
I need you right now
If you fall asleep for one moment
It ends in a second
A silver missile
We're sitting in the same car
'Cause we've got each other
'Cause we've got each other
And there are people who say

A thousand years and a thousand miles
