Du är för fin för mig
Dungen Lyrics

In these lyrics, Dungen's song "Du är för fin för mig" explores themes of desire, insecurity, and societal expectations in relationships.

The first verse begins with a plea for kindness and the possibility of regaining lost love. The line "Säg nåt snällt och vinn tillbaks den kärlek du förlorade på fyllan" translates to "Say something nice and win back the love you lost while drunk." This portrays the singer's yearning for affection despite the mistakes made in the past. The following lines "du är vacker släck min törst med rosa läppar, pipa eller pilsner" suggest a desire for physical intimacy and the need for someone to quench their thirst for love.

The second verse sets the scene of a seemingly ordinary Monday in April. The line "leker du med elden, aj aj buff, tar en cigarettfrukost" describes the subject, possibly the person the singer desires, engaging in risky behavior and starting their day with a cigarette breakfast. This highlights the singer's admiration for someone who lives life on their own terms, even though it may be unconventional.

The chorus, "Du är för fin för mig, men jag vill ha dig ändå" which translates to "You're too good for me, but I still want you," reveals the singer's feelings of inadequacy and the awareness that they may not fit the conventional mold of what a partner "should" be. Despite this, they confess their desire for the other person. They yearn to understand how a connection could be cultivated despite these perceived differences. The line "Jag går ibland och tänker likadant, så blir det fel ändå" implies that even when they try to think the same way as others, the outcome is often still flawed and unsatisfactory.

In the final verse, the lyrics delve deeper into societal expectations and the pressure to conform. The line "Dom vill veta om jag menar allvar när jag kallar dig min flickvän" translates to "They want to know if I'm serious when I call you my girlfriend." This suggests that others are skeptical about the singer's intentions with the person they desire. And that in contemporary times, relationships are challenged by changing societal norms and preconceived notions of what is acceptable.

The line "Nu för tiden kan man inte älska någon annan än din spindel" which means "Nowadays, you can't love anyone but your spider" hints at the complexities of modern relationships, symbolizing a potentially unconventional partner choice. The metaphorical web described as "kladdigt" (sticky) and the rain pouring in suggest the messy and unpredictable nature of these relationships.

As the song progresses, the chorus is repeated, emphasizing the internal struggle of desiring someone who may be seen as "too good" for the singer. These lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and a longing to bridge the gap between their perceived inferiority and the pursuit of a connection.
