Nattmänniska
Darin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kom till mig
Ta över min kropp
Ge mig ditt allt
I svart och grått
Det onda gror
Dem vackra och ledsna
Finns ingen tro
Älska din nästa

Kaoset pulserar ut i gatans märg
Murens tegelstenar dränks i färg

Jag finns i nattens stad
Där finner du mig i miljonljusets hav
Jag finns i en mörk trång bar
Där vi vilsna själar älskar att va
Här hemma i nattens dar

Jag gömmer mig
När livet kan såra
När det är natt
Och sorgen förlorat
Så många människor av samma sort
Tingas andra hav ligger med hopp

Jag finns i nattens stad
Där finner du mig i miljonljusets hav
Jag finns i en mörk trång bar
Där vi vilsna själar älskar att va
Här hemma i nattens dar

Kom, kom natten ta över dagen
Dränk mina sorger ta över staden
Kom, kom natten ge mig ditt mörker
Så jag kan lysa igen

Jag finns i nattens stad
Där finner du mig i miljonljusets hav
Jag finns i en mörk trång bar

Där ljusskygga själar älskar att va
Här hemma i nattens dar
