Slumra Till
Det Stora Monstret Lyrics

The lyrics to Det Stora Monstret's song Slumra Till speak about the fear of losing control and the consequences that come with it. The singer wonders what would happen if they were to fall asleep behind the wheel and end up veering off the road, resulting in a burden that they cannot carry. The burden is then compared to waking up next to someone who may not be right for them, leading to another burden that they cannot carry.

The repetition of "med en börda vi inte klarar av att bära" (with a burden we cannot carry) reinforces the weight and severity of the imagined scenarios, and the idea that actions have consequences. The song captures the feeling of being trapped in a situation that is beyond one's control, and the fear of not being able to handle the fallout.

The dreamlike quality of the lyrics, combined with the driving electric guitar and haunting vocals, create a sense of urgency and unease throughout the song. The repetition of the chorus further emphasizes the importance of the message and the haunting consequences of falling asleep at the wheel.
