Fel på dig
Jakob Karlberg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Du vet det där ljudet av våra hjärtan som slog i takt
Men tiden gick som jag från dig
Tog min tandborste tack och hej
Skulle vara vi för evigt och jag vet att du saknar mig
Tro mig du värmde mig när jag var kall
Men det slog mig det är inte mig det är fel på
Det är dig det är fel på
Jag kanske borde sagt det som jag tänkt förut
Men det var den enda vägen ut
Sa det var fel på mig fast det var fel på dig
Dem gånger jag har sagt att du är allt jag har
Och att allt var bra som det var
Kanske fel av mig men det var fel på dig
Sommaren är över det vi hade likaså
Vad jag behöver är att blocka din telefon
Sa du kan lita på mig ingen ska lita på mig
Jag är ett bankkort baby
Men det du tag medges ej
Jag sa att något var fel
Men det är inte mig det är fel på
Det är dig det är fel på
Jag kanske borde sagt det som jag tänkt förut
Men det var den enda vägen ut
Sa det var fel på mig fast det var fel på dig
Dem gånger jag har sagt att du är allt jag har
Och att allt var bra som det var
Kanske fel av mig men det var fel på dig
Det du aldrig tror
Efter allt vi gjort
Minns när vi satt där vid stranden sakta tog jag dig i handen
Och jag tänkte Nu har jag hittat rätt
Men nu när jag sett ditt rätta jag
Har jag ett rätt bra förslag du drar och jag blir kvar
För det är inte mig det är fel på det är dig det är fel på
Jag kanske borde sagt det som jag tänkt förut
Men det var den enda vägen ut
Sa det var fel på mig fast det var fel på dig
Dem gånger jag har sagt att du är allt jag har
Och att allt var bra som det var
Kanske fel av mig men det var fel på dig
Det du aldrig tror
Efter allt vi gjort
Det du aldrig tror
Efter allt vi gjort
Att det var fel på dig
The lyrics to Jakob Karlberg's song "Fel på dig" (Fault on You) describe a past relationship that has ended due to the faults of the other person. The singer reminisces about the initial attraction and excitement of their forbidden love, but laments how time and distance eventually drove them apart. He acknowledges the warmth and comfort his former partner provided, but ultimately realizes that the relationship was not healthy for him.
Throughout the song, the singer struggles with the decision to end the relationship and the guilt of blaming the other person for its failure. He reflects on times when he proclaimed the other person as his everything and pretended that everything was perfect, even though it was not. The chorus repeats the refrain that it was not him, but the other person, who was at fault for the relationship's demise.
Overall, "Fel på dig" is a poignant reflection on love and loss, and the complicated emotions that come with realizing a relationship was not what it seemed.
Line by Line Meaning
Det var förbjudet men lät ganska intressant
Although it was prohibited, it seemed rather intriguing
Du vet det där ljudet av våra hjärtan som slog i takt
You know that sound of our hearts beating in sync
Men tiden gick som jag från dig
But time moved on and I moved away from you
Tog min tandborste tack och hej
Took my toothbrush and said goodbye
Skulle vara vi för evigt och jag vet att du saknar mig
We were supposed to be forever, and I know you miss me
Tro mig du värmde mig när jag var kall
Believe me, you warmed me up when I was cold
Men det slog mig det är inte mig det är fel på
But it hit me that it's not me that's the problem
Det är dig det är fel på
It's you that's the problem
Jag kanske borde sagt det som jag tänkt förut
Maybe I should have said what I thought before
Men det var den enda vägen ut
But that was the only way out
Sa det var fel på mig fast det var fel på dig
I said it was my fault, when it was actually yours
Dem gånger jag har sagt att du är allt jag har
All those times I said you were everything to me
Och att allt var bra som det var
And that everything was fine as it was
Kanske fel av mig men det var fel på dig
Maybe it was wrong of me, but it was your fault
Sommaren är över det vi hade likaså
Summer is over, and so is what we had
Vad jag behöver är att blocka din telefon
What I need to do is block your phone
Sa du kan lita på mig ingen ska lita på mig
You said you could trust me, but no one can trust me
Jag är ett bankkort baby
I'm like a credit card, baby
Men det du tag medges ej
But what you take is not allowed
Jag sa att något var fel
I said that something was wrong
Men det är inte mig det är fel på
But it's not me that's the problem
Det är dig det är fel på
It's you that's the problem
Det du aldrig tror
What you never believe
Efter allt vi gjort
After everything we've done
Minns när vi satt där vid stranden sakta tog jag dig i handen
Remember when we sat by the beach, and I slowly took your hand
Och jag tänkte Nu har jag hittat rätt
And I thought, 'Now I have found the right one'
Men nu när jag sett ditt rätta jag
But now that I've seen your true self
Har jag ett rätt bra förslag du drar och jag blir kvar
I have a pretty good proposal: you leave and I stay
Att det var fel på dig
That it was your fault

Name in the song: Wrong with you
Text
It was forbidden
but it sounded kind of interesting
You now that sound
of our hearts beating in synch
but time passed as i from you
took my toothbrush thank you and goodbye
should have been us forever
and i know you miss me
believe me
you warmed me when I was cold
but it hit me
it's not me there's something wrong with
it's you there's something wrong with
Maybe I should have said what i thought before
but it was the only way out
said it was something wrong with me
even though it was something wrong with you
the times i've said you were all i got
and that everything was good the way it was
maybe wrong of me
there was something wrong with you
The summer is over
so are we
what i need
is to block your phone
said you can trust med
no should trust me
i'm a atm card baby
your transaction was not approved
I said something was wrong
it's not me there's something wrong with
it's you there's something wrong with
Maybe I should have said what i thought before
but it was the only way out
said it was something wrong with me
even though it was something wrong with you
the times i've said you were all i got
and that everything was good the way it was
maybe wrong of me
there was something wrong with you
You've never believed
after everything we've done
I remember when we sat
there by the beach
slowly i took your hand
and i thought
now i've found the one
but now that i've seen your true self
i've got a pretty good suggestion
you leave and i stay
because it's not me there's something wrong with
it's you there's something wrong with
Maybe I should have said what i thought before
but it was the only way out
said it was something wrong with me
even though it was something wrong with you
the times i've said you were all i got
and that everything was good the way it was
maybe wrong of me
there was something wrong with you
You've never believed
after everything we've done
It's not possible to believe
after everything we've done
That there was something wrong with you
