Gunnar Bringman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Men nu så har jag glömt va de va
Jag lovar dig jag hade det på tungan
Men nu är det helt väck
Det va enda in i helsike
Va det var svårt att komma ihåg
Blackout
Trallalalala
Är jag tankspridd
Eller senil
Oj va de va nära att jag kom ihåg
Vad jag skulle säg
Man undrar hur en tanke
Helt plötsligt kan försvinna i ett nafs
Jag tror det va nåt viktigt
Men nu är det som det är helt svart
Blackout
Trallalalala
Är jag tankspridd
Eller senil
Jo nu vet jag vad det var
Det var nånting som du sa häromdan
Kommer du ihåg att det var
Nånting som du sa häromdan
Blackout
Trallalalala
Är jag tankspridd
Jag börjar bli rädd för mig själv
Oh herregud
The lyrics to Gunnar Bringman's song "Blackout" have a theme of forgetfulness, specifically in regards to forgetting something important that the singer was going to tell someone. The singer expresses frustration and confusion over the situation, as well as questioning whether their forgetfulness is a result of being "tankspridd" (distracted or scatterbrained) or "senil" (senile or forgetful due to old age).
The song has a lighthearted feel with the use of the phrase "trallalalala" interspersed throughout the chorus, but there is also a sense of worry and concern as the singer becomes increasingly alarmed by their forgetfulness. The repeated use of the word "blackout" emphasizes the sudden and complete loss of memory that the singer is experiencing.
Overall, the song speaks to the universal experience of forgetting something important and the frustration and worry that can come with that experience.
