Children
Fjer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Years after riding the roller coaster that was you and me
I still sometimes look back and I see the child in me.

A woman in love with a child
Like day and night - the sun is bound to go down
You pushed me in the lake, you made me scream
In the bitter end, I will drown.
Like children on a playground,
We run around. Run around.
To do it all again.

Deep down in the core of me, I can still feel the pain.
Do you remember when I fell - tall as I was?
Broke my hand and bent my ribs.
They have been crooked ever since.

A woman in love with a child
Like day and night - the sun is bound to go down
You pushed me in the lake, you made me scream
In the bitter end, I will drown.

Like children on a playground,




We run around. Run around.
To do it all again.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fjer's song 'Children' contain several powerful themes, encompassing love, pain, and the weight of memories. The song is a reflection on a previous relationship and the emotional imprints that remain long after the love's expiration. The singer recalls the 'rollercoaster' of their past love and acknowledges the presence of the childlike qualities that still reside within her. The pain of old wounds is also apparent from the lyrics, as she mentions that the memories of the pain still lingers 'deep down in the core of me.' The second verse delves deeper into the physical scars the singer bears, recounting how her partner caused her to break her hand and bend her ribs. These injuries stand as a memento of a tumultuous love and are a reminder of the physical and emotional wounds that love can leave.


The chorus reflects both the fun and weight of the relationship, likening it to playing on a playground where one runs around and around without any true progress. It highlights the cyclical nature of love, the repetitive patterns we often find ourselves in, and how despite how it can end up damaging us, we still continue to jump in to do it all over again. The song closes with the somber line 'in the bitter end, I will drown,' evoking the idea that even with the memories of the love and everything that it brought, we can still come out of it scarred, stuck in this cycle of addiction, or consumed by our emotions.


Overall the lyrics of Fjer's song 'Children' encapsulate the emotions that come with a love that can hurt and create trauma; however, it also shows the resilience and the determination to move forward regardless of how much it has scarred us.
