Freddie Wadling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Och gula löv på marken blir skatten som vi stjäl
Och de gråa döda husen blir fängelset vi flyr
Och hela fula världen blir som ny
Om du tar mig med till drömmarnas land, du låter mig följa med på din axel
Om du tar mig med till drömmarnas land, jag kan väl få följa med på din axel
Om stoltheten jag sväljer för att klara varje dag
Och allt som jag ska gömma i mitt hjärta utav glas
Om allt det där ska rymmas går jag av
Så ta mig med till drömmarnas land, jag kan väl få följa med på din axel
Ta mig med till drömmarnas land, så kanske jag kan göra nått som är vackert
För dig och för mig
För dig och för mig

The singer is expressing a desire to leave behind the ugliness of the world and enter a realm of pure imagination.
The second verse focuses on the difficulties of daily life and the necessity of hiding one's true self in order to get by. The singer talks about swallowing their pride and hiding their feelings behind a facade of glass in order to cope with the demands of the world. Despite this, the singer longs for a world where they can be free from these constraints and create something beautiful. The chorus repeats the desire to be taken to the world of dreams, to escape to a world of beauty and possibility.
Overall, "Drömmarna" is a song about the power of imagination and the urge to escape from the difficulties of daily life. The song encourages listeners to tap into their own creativity and imagine a more beautiful world beyond the limitations of reality.

Svarta träd i skogen blir soldater i en här
The dark trees in the forest turn into soldiers in an army
Och gula löv på marken blir skatten som vi stjäl
And yellow leaves on the ground become the treasure we steal
Och de gråa döda husen blir fängelset vi flyr
And the gray dead houses become the prison we escape from
Och hela fula världen blir som ny
And the whole ugly world becomes new
Om du tar mig med till drömmarnas land, du låter mig följa med på din axel
If you take me to the land of dreams, you let me follow you on your shoulder
Om allt man inte väljer, men ändå tvingas ta
If everything you don't choose, but are forced to take
Om stoltheten jag sväljer för att klara varje dag
If the pride I swallow to make it through every day
Och allt som jag ska gömma i mitt hjärta utav glas
And all that I must hide in my heart made of glass
Om allt det där ska rymmas går jag av
If all that has to fit in there, I'll break down
Så ta mig med till drömmarnas land, jag kan väl få följa med på din axel
So take me to the land of dreams, I can at least follow you on your shoulder
Ta mig med till drömmarnas land, så kanske jag kan göra nått som är vackert
Take me to the land of dreams, so maybe I can do something beautiful
För dig och för mig
For you and for me
