Bara en dröm
Emil Assergård Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Och allting blommade uti mitt bröst
Vi tömde varje bar, vi tömde hela stan
Det kan va svårt att se va man har
Vi levde våra bästa liv
Men plötsligt slutade vår film
Jag ser du har nån annan nu
Dina läppar mot min kind
Att försöka vore sjukt
Jag swipear bort dig för jag vill inte se mer
Allt vi hade det var bara en lögn
På natten krigar jag mot det förflutna
Den tanken ger mig aldrig någonsin sömn
Vi var bara en dröm
Och när hösten kom och livet somna om
Då va våra dagar räknade
Det va jag och du, du ville ingenting
Och ingenting va som det verkade
Vi levde våra bästa liv
Men plötsligt slutade vår film
Jag ser du har nån annan nu
Dina läppar mot min kind
Betydde aldrig någonting
Att försöka vore sjukt
Jag swipear bort dig för jag vill inte se mer
Allt vi hade det var bara en lögn
På natten krigar jag mot det förflutna
Den tanken ger mig aldrig någonsin sömn
Vi var bara en dröm
Vi var bara en dröm
Något som jag aldrig kan leva (Leva)
Och nånting som jag aldrig kan få (Mm)
Och jag kommer aldrig få veta (Veta)
Hur det skulle bli om det va vi två (Ooh)
Jag swipear bort dig för jag vill inte se mer
Allt vi hade det var bara en lögn
På natten krigar jag mot det förflutna
Den tanken ger mig aldrig någonsin sömn
Vi var bara en dröm,
Vi var bara en dröm,
Vi var bara en dröm.
The lyrics to Emil Assergård's song Bara en dröm (Just a dream) are hauntingly beautiful and explore the theme of life not turning out the way we had hoped or planned. The song begins by describing a beautiful summer, where everything is in full bloom, and the singer has a fullness in their chest. They spend their days drinking in bars and living their best lives.
However, just like a movie ending, their beautiful life comes to a sudden stop with the realization that the person they loved has moved on. What was once a beautiful and meaningful moment, now means nothing. The singer tries to forget and move on by swiping away this person from their life, but the pain never goes away.
As fall comes, and life winds down, the singer reflects on how everything was just a dream. They wished they could have had more, but nothing was as it seemed, and they were left with nothing. The song concludes with the singer acknowledging that what they had was just a dream and that they must move on to live the life they deserve.

Livet log mot oss när sommarn stod i blom
Life smiled at us when summer was in bloom
Och allting blommade uti mitt bröst
And everything blossomed inside my chest
Vi tömde varje bar, vi tömde hela stan
We emptied every bar, we emptied the whole town
Det kan va svårt att se va man har
It can be hard to see what you have
Vi levde våra bästa liv
We lived our best lives
Men plötsligt slutade vår film
But suddenly our movie ended
Jag ser du har nån annan nu
I see you have someone else now
Dina läppar mot min kind
Your lips against my cheek
Betydde aldrig någonting
Never meant anything
Att försöka vore sjukt
Trying would be insane
Jag swipear bort dig för jag vill inte se mer
I swipe you away because I don't want to see anymore
Allt vi hade det var bara en lögn
All we had was just a lie
På natten krigar jag mot det förflutna
At night, I fight against the past
Den tanken ger mig aldrig någonsin sömn
That thought never gives me sleep
Vi var bara en dröm
We were just a dream
Och när hösten kom och livet somna om
And when autumn came and life fell asleep
Då va våra dagar räknade
Then our days were numbered
Det va jag och du, du ville ingenting
It was me and you, you wanted nothing
Och ingenting va som det verkade
And nothing was as it seemed
Något som jag aldrig kan leva (Leva)
Something I can never live (Live)
Och nånting som jag aldrig kan få (Mm)
And something I can never have (Mm)
Och jag kommer aldrig få veta (Veta)
And I will never know (Know)
Hur det skulle bli om det va vi två (Ooh)
How it would be if it was just us two (Ooh)
Vi var bara en dröm,
We were just a dream,
Vi var bara en dröm,
We were just a dream,
Vi var bara en dröm.
We were just a dream.
