Gustaf Spetz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The little things you used to say
The pop of a cork and a fountain pen
Reminders of what we had then
A glance and I missed my stop
Early morning, sunbeam, dewdrop
Called in sick and didn't even pretend
You'd better take me back if you care
You'd better take me back if you care
And as things got worse
Kept thinking of fractions and nouns
It sort of went on from there
You kept making deafening sounds
When I heard you through the front door
With my eyes both red and black
I kept wishing this was over
And we were another me another you
The lyrics of the song "Dewdrop" by Gustaf Spetz seem to speak about a past relationship and the desire to go back to it. The first few lines speak of little reminders that bring back memories of what they had, but it seems things have changed, and the relationship is lost. The line "A glance and I missed my stop" suggests that the person is lost in thought, thinking about what once was, and in their longing, they miss their stop. The next line says "Called in sick and didn't even pretend," indicating that the person is not okay and cannot pretend to be okay, even at work.
The chorus "You'd better take me back if you care" repeats twice, emphasizing that the person wants to go back and that they still care for the other person. The verse that follows seems to be a reflection of the pain of the current situation, with lines like "It sort of went on from there/ You kept making deafening sounds," which suggest that the problem persisted and became deafening.
The last verse seems to be an acknowledgment that it's time for the relationship to end. "When I heard you through the front door/ With my eyes both red and black/ I kept wishing this was over/ And we were another me another you" speaks to the desire to have a new start, to be different people in a new relationship. The song is poignant and reflective, and the lyrics could resonate with anyone who has been in a relationship they wish they could go back to or change.
