Utopia
Grande Royale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That there's a city far away where no one dies
Or even care to grow old
And even if I know
It's just imagination
No betrayal, no lies
A utopian paradise
I know it ain't real I just can't get it out of mind
We've been told when we were kids
That if we wait there'll come true love that never dies
Or never lets you down
And even if I know
It's just imagination
I can see it in your eyes
It will live through our demise
I know it ain't real but I just can't get it out of mind
And now the years have passed
We're all grown up and we know that none of this is true
We see past the fairytales
And even if we dream
It's just imagination
We betray and we lie
We will live and we will die
I know this is real and I can't get it out of my mind
Och även om vi vet
Det ligger i vår själs natur
Vår brunn har sinat till slut
Vi dör och tonar ut
I know this is real
And I can't get it out
I know this is real
We betray and we lie
I know this is real
We will live, we will die
And I can't get it out of my mind
The lyrics of "Utopia" by Grande Royale touch upon the theme of longing for an ideal world, a utopian paradise, and the subsequent realization that such a place doesn't exist. The song begins with the notion that since childhood, we have been told of a city far away where death doesn't exist, and aging is inconsequential. However, the singer acknowledges that this is merely a product of imagination, yet it lingers in their mind. The concept of a perfect utopia without betrayal or lies tempts the singer, even though they understand its unreality.
Moving into the second verse, the lyrics delve into the idea that as children, we were told that true love would never die or disappoint. Again, the singer recognizes that this is only imagination, yet they can see it reflected in someone else's eyes. The idea of eternal love persisting despite any trials or tribulations remains in their thoughts, even if they know it isn't real.
As the years pass and everyone grows up, the lyrics reveal a sense of maturation and acceptance of reality. The illusion of fairytales and imagined worlds fades away, and the singer acknowledges that betrayal and deceit are inherent to our human nature. Despite this, the longing for an ideal, utopian existence persists, even though it contradicts the reality they know.
The lyrics in the Swedish portion serve as a reflection on our inner nature and the fleeting nature of life. The singer notes that even though we know the truth, that our well of optimism has run dry, we still end up passing away and fading into obscurity.
In summary, "Utopia" by Grande Royale explores the notion of a perfect world and the human desire to hold onto the ideals of a utopian paradise, even when confronted with the knowledge that it doesn't exist. It highlights the tension between imagination and reality and the persistent longing for an ideal despite the flaws of the world we live in.

We've been told since we were young
Since our childhood, we have been taught and influenced
That there's a city far away where no one dies
There exists an ideal place where death doesn't exist
Or even care to grow old
A place where no one worries about aging
And even if I know
Despite being aware
It's just imagination
That this place only exists in our minds
No betrayal, no lies
There is no deception or falsehood
A utopian paradise
It is an ideal, perfect world
I know it ain't real I just can't get it out of mind
Though I understand it's not real, I can't stop thinking about it
We've been told when we were kids
During our childhood, we were informed
That if we wait there'll come true love that never dies
If we have patience, we will find a love that lasts forever
Or never lets you down
A love that never disappoints
And even if I know
Even though I understand
It's just imagination
That this idea is purely imaginary
I can see it in your eyes
I can perceive it in your gaze
It will live through our demise
This love will endure even after our death
I know it ain't real but I just can't get it out of mind
I acknowledge its nonexistence, yet I can't stop thinking about it
And now the years have passed
With the passage of time
We're all grown up and we know that none of this is true
We have matured and realized that none of this is real
We see past the fairytales
We have overcome the illusions and fantasies
And even if we dream
Even when we imagine
It's just imagination
It remains within the realm of imagination
We betray and we lie
We deceive and tell lies
We will live and we will die
We will experience both life and death
I know this is real and I can't get it out of my mind
I acknowledge the reality of this situation, yet it occupies my thoughts persistently
Och även om vi vet
And even if we know
Det ligger i vår själs natur
It resides in the nature of our souls
Vår brunn har sinat till slut
Our well has finally run dry
Vi dör och tonar ut
We die and fade away
I know this is real
I understand the reality of this
And I can't get it out
Yet, I cannot remove it
I know this is real
I comprehend its existence
We betray and we lie
We deceive and tell lies
I know this is real
I acknowledge its veracity
We will live, we will die
We will experience life and death
And I can't get it out of my mind
And it continues to occupy my thoughts persistently
