Malmö City
Garbochock Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I Malmö city finns det folk som dansar.
Jag diggar det, hjälper mot tristessen där,
så många fler för nattkontakt,
krossar alla drömmar där.

Malmö city, Malmö city,
Malmö city, Malmö city i ett skal

I Malmö city finns det vackra ansikten.
Vi diggar det hjälper mot tristessen där,
så många fler för nattkontakt,
krossar alla drömmar där.

Malmö city, Malmö city,
Malmö city, Malmö city i ett skal

I Malmö city finns det parasiter.
Vi lever där mitt bland alla människor där,
det gör mej glad när jag får bedra alla falska drömmar' där,

Malmö city, Malmö city,
Malmö city, Malmö city i ett skal

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Garbochock's song "Malmö city" address the diverse yet chaotic atmosphere of the Swedish city, Malmö. The opening line, "I Malmö city finns det folk som dansar" (In Malmö city, there are people who are dancing), sets the tone for the rest of the song, as it portrays the vibrancy of the city's nightlife. The singer embraces the energy of the city and finds solace in it as it helps combat boredom and monotony. However, the song also acknowledges the darker aspects of the city and the negative impact it can have on people's dreams.

The second verse talks about the presence of beautiful faces in the city, indicating that the city attracts people from all walks of life, some of whom are looking for relationships. However, even this comes with a warning, as the line "krossar alla drömmar där" (crushes all dreams there) reinforces the idea that Malmö can be a harsh and unforgiving city.

The final verse mentions "parasites" that live among the city's people, suggesting that some individuals may take advantage of others' aspirations and possibly lead them down the wrong path. Despite this, the singer seems content with the situation, stating "det gör mej glad när jag får bedra alla falska drömmar där" (it makes me happy when I get to deceive all the false dreams there). Overall, the song portrays a love-hate relationship with Malmö, acknowledging its positive and negative aspects.
