Extensive touring in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and the UK lays the foundation for what is predicted to be a long and successful music career.
With her crystal voice, ranging from raw and powerful to intimate and soft, Dagny describes her music as an “emotional rollercoaster” with playful peaks and melancholic drops, “just as life itself” she says. Her greatest love is performing, and to the stage she brings her intimate lyrics, harmonies and feelings, blended in a modern folk/pop blender filled with everything from darkness to eternal optimism.
Tension
Dagny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We don't need a reason
What's the point of rushing before it begins
I know how you like your coffee
And how to make you want me
You should know my favourite part of the movie is when
You still don't know the end
Oh I don't know how to stop
I feel it in me and I never want to not
Who's gonna break the tension baby
I kinda like the tension
Maybe we could lie here and just not say it
Forever and ever and ever and ever
Hands are moving closer
Arms around my shoulder
Don't want to cross the line where the mystery fades
Falling for a stranger
Strangers in to lovers
Then before you know it we're comfortable, what then?
I don't wanna know the end
But I feel like diving in
Oh I don't know how to stop
I feel it in me and I never wanna not
Who's gonna break the tension baby
I kinda like the tension
Maybe we could lie here and just not say it
Forever and ever and ever and ever
Who's gonna break the tension baby
I kinda like the tension
Maybe we could lie here and just not say it
Forever and ever and ever and ever
Forever and ever and ever, ever and ever and ever
(Forever and ever and ever and ever
Forever and ever and ever, ever and ever and ever
Forever and ever and ever, ever and ever and ever)
Who's gonna break the tension baby
I kinda like the tension
Maybe we can lie here and just not say it
Forever
Tension maybe I
Just not say it
Forever
(I never felt like this with somebody)
(You should come over)
Just not say it
Forever, ever, ever
Forever, ever, ever
Who's gonna break the tension baby
I kinda like the tension
Maybe we could lie here and just not say it
Forever and ever and ever and ever
Who's gonna break the tension baby
I kinda like the tension
Maybe we could lie here and just not say it
Forever and ever and ever and ever
The song "Tension" by Dagny captures the feeling of being caught in an emotional limbo, where the characters are hesitant to take the next step in their relationship. The opening lines suggest that the characters are experiencing a heightened sense of emotion, but they are not sure how to proceed. The lines "Let the feeling sink in / We don't need a reason" indicate that sometimes emotions are enough, and that the characters do not have to act solely out of rationality.
The song goes on to explore the idea of taking risks and living in the moment, rather than worrying about what the future might hold. The lines "You still don't know the end / But you feel like diving in" suggest that the characters are willing to take a chance on their feelings, even if they do not know what the outcome will be. They are willing to push past their fears in order to experience something new and exciting.
The chorus repeats the idea of "breaking the tension," but it becomes clear that the tension is not something to be avoided or resolved. Rather, it is something to be embraced and celebrated. The line "Maybe we could lie here and just not say it / Forever and ever and ever and ever" suggests that the characters are content to exist in the moment, without having to discuss or analyze their feelings. They are happy just to be in each other's company and experience the tension between them.
Overall, "Tension" is a celebration of the excitement and uncertainty that comes with navigating a new relationship. It encourages listeners to take risks, live in the moment, and embrace the emotions that come with falling in love.
