Bo Kaspers Orkester Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Om vi blir som alla andra
Utan strid förlorar slaget
Somnar utan att ha rört varandra
Då ska jag tala med en annan röst
In i en nyfödd vinter om en gammal höst
I november
Om vi börjar sluta drömma
Söker andra mellan grälen
Hittar ledtrådar att gömma
Om vi skjuter sönder skälen
Då ska jag tala med en annan röst
In i en nyfödd vinter om en gammal höst
I november
I november
Om du följer mig till slutet
Och det som nu är hemligheter
Är ett innerligt förflutet
Eller små banaliteter
Då ska vi tala med en annan röst
In i en nyfödd vinter om en gammal höst
I november
I november
I november
I november
The lyrics are about the fear of losing touch with one another in a relationship, and the consequences of becoming complacent in love. The first verse speaks of the danger in becoming like everyone else, losing the passion and energy that was once present while surrendering without a fight. The lines “Somnar utan att ha rört varandra” (falling asleep without having touched each other) paints a picture of a relationship that has become mundane and distant, where physical touch and emotional intimacy have faded away. The second verse delves into the possibility of drifting apart completely, where dreams are no longer shared, and petty arguments are a constant. The line “Om vi skjuter sönder skälen” (if we shoot down our reasons) highlights the destructive habits that erode the bonds of a relationship. The last verse offers a glimmer of hope, that if both parties are willing to work on the relationship, it's still possible to rekindle the old flame. By speaking with a new voice and going back to the root of their affection, they can reenter the warmth of companionship that was present in the beginning.
Overall, the lyrics of the song deal with the complex emotions and challenges that can arise in a relationship, and the importance of actively maintaining the love and passion that brought the two people together in the first place.

Om vi en gång släpper taget
If we ever let go of our grip on each other
Om vi blir som alla andra
If we become like everyone else
Utan strid förlorar slaget
Without a fight, we lose the battle
Somnar utan att ha rört varandra
We'll fall asleep without having touched each other
Då ska jag tala med en annan röst
Then, I'll speak with a different voice
In i en nyfödd vinter om en gammal höst
Into a newborn winter about an old autumn
I november
In November
Om vi börjar sluta drömma
If we start giving up our dreams
Söker andra mellan grälen
Looking for others in the quarrels
Hittar ledtrådar att gömma
Finding clues to hide
Om vi skjuter sönder skälen
If we shoot down the reasons
Då ska jag tala med en annan röst
Then, I'll speak with a different voice
In i en nyfödd vinter om en gammal höst
Into a newborn winter about an old autumn

Om du följer mig till slutet
If you follow me until the end
Och det som nu är hemligheter
And what is now a secret
Är ett innerligt förflutet
Is a heartfelt past
Eller små banaliteter
Or small trivialities
Då ska vi tala med en annan röst
Then, we'll speak with a different voice
In i en nyfödd vinter om en gammal höst
Into a newborn winter about an old autumn
I november
In November
I november
In November
I november
In November
I november
