D.T.A.L was formed spring… Read Full Bio ↴D.T.A.L abbreviates Dr Tjock & Atomligan.
D.T.A.L was formed spring -83 because we didn’t thought there were any others that played as we wanted it to sound plus that there wasn’t much more to do in a small town like Landskrona. The first setting was: Fredde – vocals, Måe – guitar, Jerry – bass and Nelle – drums, it last to the first EP “Time to die”. After that people have come and go, some have been in for several sets on different instruments (this is to complicated, a book could be written on the subject). The music changed a bit through the years due to member changes and influences, then when the promised LP on C.B.R, it was recorded as late as feb -90, for some unaccountable reason never was released we simple got tired and splitted the band.
Mistake
D.T.A.L. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why I wanted you so bad
When we were walking hand in hand
You'd be driving me so mad
But when the sky does fall
I'll be holding you so tight
So let's forget the world
Oh baby I don't wanna fight
But you know I'll treat you right
I'll be your mistake tonight
Oh baby I don't know the reason
That you're loving him so much
He treats you worse than the scum on his shoe
He doesn't have a gentle touch
But when the sky does fall
I hope it falls down on his head
And when he's knocked out cold
I'll be taking you to bed
Oh baby I know you think that I'm insane
But you know I'll treat you right
I'll be your mistake tonight
And when we wake up in the morning
We'll know that what we did was wrong
You'll go your way and I'll go mine
And I'll write another song
But when the sky does fall
I hope it doesn't fall on you
And though our love is gone
At least we know that it was true
Oh baby I know you think that I'm not yours
But you know I treat you right
I'll be your mistake tonight
I'll be your mistake tonight
I'll be your mistake tonight
The lyrics of D.T.A.L.'s song 'Mistake' suggest a tumultuous relationship that is based on a physical attraction rather than emotional connection. The singer admits that they don't understand why they want the other person so badly, even though they can be infuriating at times.

The song concludes with the recognition that what they did was wrong and that they both need to go their separate ways. Despite the inevitable end of their relationship, the singer still recognizes the truth in their love.
Overall, the lyrics capture the intensity and chaos of a passionate yet ultimately unsustainable relationship.

Oh baby I don't know the reason
I don't understand why I'm so drawn to you
Why I wanted you so bad
Why I desire you so intensely
When we were walking hand in hand
As we strolled together side by side
You'd be driving me so mad
You would be making me crazy
But when the sky does fall
In times of crisis or trouble
I'll be holding you so tight
I'll be embracing you closely and protectively
So let's forget the world
Let's ignore our problems and just focus on each other
Oh baby I don't wanna fight
I don't want to argue or create conflict
Oh baby I know you think that I'm not yours
I understand that you don't see me as exclusively yours
But you know I'll treat you right
I will treat you well and with respect
I'll be your mistake tonight
I'll be the one you regret in the morning
That you're loving him so much
That you have so much affection for him
He treats you worse than the scum on his shoe
He treats you very poorly
He doesn't have a gentle touch
He is not tender or affectionate
I hope it falls down on his head
I hope he suffers the consequences
And when he's knocked out cold
And he's unconscious
I'll be taking you to bed
I'll be intimate with you
Oh baby I know you think that I'm insane
I understand that you believe I'm crazy
And when we wake up in the morning
After our night together
We'll know that what we did was wrong
We'll understand that our actions were inappropriate
You'll go your way and I'll go mine
We'll both move on
And I'll write another song
I'll turn our experience into art
And though our love is gone
Despite the end of our romance
At least we know that it was true
We can take comfort in the fact that our love was genuine
I'll be your mistake tonight
I'll be the one you regret in the morning
