Kryptonit
Emil Kruse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said you were gonna pick me
Up over an hour ago and I'm still here
I just feel like you're
Messing around with me
I'm just sick of all this shit with you
Alting føles i slow-mo
Og følelser er forbudte
Men jeg ved du' lovløs
Når dit blik fryser på mig
Ka' jeg ikk' optø
Under en mørk sky, vil aldrig hjem
Og jeg ser kun vi prøver på
At vend' det hele om
Jeg la' det blive til den dag
Hvor jeg kan stå op
Prøver på at lеve drømmen
Bare jеg kunne vågne op
Alt det der var, ka' ikk'
Vær' i det mer', ah ah
(Ka' ikk' vær' i det mer')
Jeg lukker min' øjne, du'
Alt hva' jeg ser, ah ah
(Alt hva' jeg ser)
For de er i byen, ser spøgelser tit
Grønne øjne stirrer blindt, min kryptonit
Grønne øjne stirrer blindt, min kryptonit
(Grønt øje)
For de er i byen, ser spøgelser tit
Grønne øjne stirrer blindt, min kryptonit
Grønne øjne stirrer blindt, min kryptonit
(Grønt øje)
Yeah, arh
Lille pige, ka' ikk' blive i din flamme
Holdt i hænder
Pludselig så begyndt' dine at brænde
Samler glasskår op for at lim' det sammen
Blikfang, bare en flig af engang
Bipolare øjne der stirrer
Og nu lyden dæmper
Og det 'støj hva' du siger
Jeg prøver virk' rolig
Men det' svært når det' shaky
Grønt lys fra dit øje, grønt lys
Alt det der var, ka' ikk'
Vær' i det mer', ah ah
(Ka' ikk' vær' i det mer')
Jeg lukker min' øjne, du'
Alt hva' jeg ser, ah ah
(Alt hva' jeg ser)
For de er i byen, ser spøgelser tit
Grønne øjne stirrer blindt, min kryptonit
Grønne øjne stirrer blindt, min kryptonit
(Grønt øje, yeah)
For de er i byen, ser spøgelser tit
Grønne øjne stirrer blindt, min kryptonit
Grønne øjne stirrer blindt, min kryptonit
(Grønt øje)
Et andet sted i byen
Ser verden fra dit vindue
Kigged' hen mod mig, så jeg' blind nu
Ku' hop' over scenen til dig
Før vi falder ned
Grønt lys fra dit øje, grønt lys
Du ser verden fra dit vindue
Kigged' hen mod mig, så jeg' blind nu
Ku' hop' over scenen til dig
Før vi falder ned
Grønt lys fra dit øje, grønt lys
The lyrics of Emil Kruse's song "Kryptonit" portray a complex and emotional relationship. The opening lines express frustration and disappointment as the singer waits for someone who promised to pick them up but hasn't arrived yet. They feel like they are being played with and are tired of dealing with the other person's behavior. The following verses delve deeper into the emotional state of the singer. They feel everything is moving in slow motion and have a fear of missing out (FOMO) despite feeling that emotions are forbidden. The other person's gaze freezes them, leaving them unable to thaw and move forward. They are trapped under a dark cloud and can only see the effort both of them are making to turn things around. The singer wants to hold on until the day they can find the strength to pursue their dream and break free from the toxic relationship.
The chorus reveals the destructive power the other person has over the singer, symbolized by green eyes, their kryptonite. The singer can no longer be in a situation that no longer works, closing their eyes to everything they see. The repetition of "Alt hva' jeg ser" emphasizes their desire to escape the ghosts and illusions that haunt them, with green eyes representing the allure and danger that keeps them trapped.
In the bridge, the singer addresses the other person directly, referring to them as a little girl unable to stay in their flame, as their actions and words have hurt them. The singer tries to remain calm, but the situation makes it difficult. The green light from the other person's eyes continues to captivate and pull the singer in.
Overall, the lyrics of "Kryptonit" explore the complexities of a toxic and emotionally draining relationship characterized by frustration, longing, and the struggle to break free from the hold the other person has on the singer.

When your gaze freezes on me
Ka' jeg ikk' optø
I can't thaw
Under en mørk sky, vil aldrig hjem

Lille pige, ka' ikk' blive i din flamme
Little girl, can't stay in your flame
Holdt i hænder
Held hands
Pludselig så begyndt' dine at brænde
Suddenly yours started to burn
Samler glasskår op for at lim' det sammen
Collecting shards of glass to glue it together
Blikfang, bare en flig af engang
Eye-catcher, just a fragment of once
Bipolare øjne der stirrer
Bipolar eyes staring
Og nu lyden dæmper
And now the sound fades
Og det 'støj hva' du siger
And the noise of what you're saying
Jeg prøver virk' rolig
I try to seem calm
Men det' svært når det' shaky
But it's hard when it's shaky
Grønt lys fra dit øje, grønt lys
Green light from your eye, green light
Alt det der var, ka' ikk'
All that there was, can't
Vær' i det mer', ah ah
Be in it anymore
(Ka' ikk' vær' i det mer')
(Can't be in it anymore)
Jeg lukker min' øjne, du'
I close my eyes, you
Alt hva' jeg ser, ah ah
All I see

Green eyes stare blindly, my kryptonite
Grønne øjne stirrer blindt, min kryptonit
Green eyes stare blindly, my kryptonite
(Grønt øje, yeah)
(Green eye, yeah)
Et andet sted i byen
Somewhere else in the city
Ser verden fra dit vindue
Seeing the world from your window
Kigged' hen mod mig, så jeg' blind nu
Looked towards me, so I'm blind now
Ku' hop' over scenen til dig
Could jump over the stage to you
Før vi falder ned
Before we fall down
Grønt lys fra dit øje, grønt lys
Green light from your eye, green light
Du ser verden fra dit vindue
You see the world from your window
Kigged' hen mod mig, så jeg' blind nu
Looked towards me, so I'm blind now
Ku' hop' over scenen til dig
Could jump over the stage to you
Før vi falder ned
Before we fall down
Grønt lys fra dit øje, grønt lys
Green light from your eye, green light
