Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Allt man hör e skratten
Vem vet vad som gör inatt
Jag såg dej igår kväll
Du pratade med en vän
En blick av dig va allt jag ville ha
Plötsligt stod du där framför mig
Min chans försvann att veta vad dom gör
Vem vet vad pojkar gör om natten
Allt man hör e skratten
Vi vill veta er hemlighet
Allting som vi känner
Ovissheten bränner
Vem vet vad dom gör
Ingenting man förstår av deras blickar, deras prat
Man vill så gärna fatta samma sak
Men vi kanske är gjorda
Så som någon där uppe vill
Man dras till något som ger mer därtill
Vem vet vad pojkar gör om natten
Allt man hör e skratten
Vi vill veta er hemlighet
Allting som vi känner
Ovissheten bränner
Vem vet vad dom gör
Vi vill veta allt som pojkar gör om natten
Allt jag velat ha i mina händer
E svaret på den fråga som vi har
Vem vet vad pojkar gör
Pojkar gör om natten
Pojkar gör om natten
The song "Vad Pojkar Gör Om Natten" by Friends explores the mystery of what boys do at night. The lyrics suggest that all one hears are laughter and they wonder what the boys are really up to. The singer of the song sees someone they like and wishes to know more about them, but misses their chance. The chorus repeats the question of what boys do at night, expressing a desire to know the secret. The song suggests that, even if they try to understand through communication, they may not be able to comprehend the boys' actions entirely.
The song seems to be about the curiosity that arises from not knowing what others, especially boys, are up to at night. It's natural to wonder about the private lives of others, especially when we're attracted to someone. The lyrics convey a sense of longing to know the secrets of others' lives, but also an acknowledgement that some things are beyond our comprehension. In the end, the song suggests that we may never truly know what other people get up to when we're not around.
