Uptown
Emil Kruse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At du har tænkt meget på
Hva' jeg laver for tiden
Tror, jeg havde glemt dig, glemt dig
Jeg har prøvet at løbe væk fra det hele
Bare langsomt om igen, dræber viben uagtsomt
Al' når et punkt, hvor de ska' vælge
Sidde her og vente (Hey, hey hey hey)
Uptown, baby, jeg finder vejen ud
For du' uptown uden mig
Uptown, baby, jeg finder dig nu
Jeg ta'r uptown, bye bye
Natten ender aldrig med dig
Og der' ikk' noget i morgen
Før i dag er forbi
Hvis jeg ka' find' dig, find' dig
Al' når et punkt, hvor de ska' vælge
Jeg vinder ikk' noget ved at
Sidde her og vente
Nej, du ka' glem' det (Hey, hey hey hey)
Uptown, baby, jeg finder vejen ud
For du' uptown uden mig
Uptown, baby, jeg finder dig nu
Jeg ta'r uptown, bye bye
Uptown, baby, jeg finder vejen ud
For du' uptown uden mig
Uptown, baby, jeg finder dig nu
Jeg ta'r uptown, bye bye
Uptown, baby, jeg finder vejen ud
For du' uptown uden mig
Uptown, baby, jeg finder dig nu
Jeg ta'r uptown, bye bye
Dig og mig, dig og mig
Dig og mig, dig og mig
Dig og mig, dig og mig
Dig og mig, dig og mig
Dig og mig, dig og mig
Dig og mig, dig og mig
Dig og mig, dig og mig
Dig og mig, dig og mig, ja

The chorus continues with a sense of finality and closure, emphasizing the singer's resolve to find their own path and let go of what was holding them back. The repetition of "Dig og mig" towards the end of the song could highlight the bittersweet memories shared between the two individuals, acknowledging the past while simultaneously accepting the need to move forward independently. Overall, the lyrics of "Uptown" by Emil Kruse encapsulate a journey of self-discovery, letting go, and embracing a new chapter in life after the end of a relationship.
