Allt som vi sa
Darin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Finns jag nånstans
Och ibland finns du där i glömda stunder
Du finns lite grann
Jag saknar dig jag saknar det som nu gått under
De läppar som som en gång rörde mig
Är nu de som kastar eld och bränner mig

Och allt som vi sa som vi va

Dog när vi rann ut i tiden
När jag ser tillbaks samma sak
Ett annat nu som är förvridet
Vi glider bort ifrån varann varje dag
Vi är kanske bäst ifrån varann du och jag

Jag bläddrar bland alla bilder vi tog när vi var livet
Nu ser du och jag och vi vet att vi tog varann för givet
De läppar som som en gång rörde mig
Är nu de som kastar eld och bränner mig

Och allt som vi sa som vi va
Dog när vi rann ut i tiden
När jag ser tillbaks samma sak
Ett annat nu som är förvridet
Vi glider bort ifrån varann varje dag
Vi är kanske bäst ifrån varann du och jag

Och allt som vi sa som vi va
Dog när vi rann ut i tiden
När jag ser tillbaks samma sak
Ett annat nu som är förvridet

Vi glider bort ifrån varann varje dag
Vi är kanske bäst ifrån varann du och jag

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Darin's song "Allt som vi sa" (Everything That We Said) express a sense of longing and nostalgia for a past relationship that has faded away over time. The song portrays a situation where both individuals have grown apart and their words and actions from the past no longer hold the same meaning or significance in the present.

The opening lines, "Finns jag nånstans" (Do I exist somewhere), and "Och ibland finns du där i glömda stunder" (And sometimes you are there in forgotten moments), suggest a feeling of being lost and disconnected. The singer reminisces about the moments they shared with the other person, acknowledging the absence and yearning for what has now become lost or forgotten.

The lyrics continue to highlight the emotional distance between the two, emphasizing the longing for their previous connection. The lines, "Vi glider bort ifrån varann varje dag" (We drift away from each other every day), capture the gradual separation and drift in their relationship. The chorus brings forth the realization that what they once had, the words they spoke and the way they were, has died and changed with the passage of time. The repetition of "Ett annat nu som är förvridet" (Another now that is distorted) reflects the sense of disorientation and confusion that accompanies their journey of growing apart.

Ultimately, the lyrics convey a bittersweet sentiment of acceptance that perhaps they are better off apart. The line, "Vi är kanske bäst ifrån varann du och jag" (Maybe we are best off apart, you and I), signifies the understanding that the distance between them has become necessary for their own well-being.

Overall, "Allt som vi sa" reflects the introspective exploration of a fading relationship, portraying the complexity of emotions and the acceptance of the changes that time brings.
