Intro
Jireel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gamla minnen som får mig o tänka
Om det vi hade var på riktig äkta
Massa löften som har blivit spräckta
H20 som har börjat läcka

Svart mascara jag ser när den rinner
Som Sahara känner att du brinner
Tiden flyger sakta men säkert jag kan se en dimma när du försvinner





Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jireel's song "Intro" speak to the reminiscence and reflection of past memories in a relationship that may have ended poorly. The opening line "Gamla minnen som får mig o tänka" (Old memories that make me think) signals a sense of nostalgia towards a time when the relationship was authentic and true. However, as the lyrics continue, Jireel expresses disappointment in the broken promises and trust that had been shared between him and his partner, exemplified through the line "Massa löften som har blivit spräckta" (A lot of promises that have been broken).


Furthermore, Jireel portrays his partner's loss of fidelity through the imagery of black mascara running down their face, as a metaphor for tears, which he describes as resembling the Sahara Desert with how much they are crying. The final line of the chorus "Tiden flyger sakta men säkert jag kan se en dimma när du försvinner" (Time flies slowly but surely I can see a fog when you disappear) metaphorically speaks to the struggle of moving on from a relationship that has ended as Jireel sees his former partner slowly fade from his life.


Overall, "Intro" is a contemplative reflection on the ups and downs of relationships - from the promise of a bright future, to disappointment and heartbreak, and finally to the difficulty of letting go and moving on.

Wondering if what we had was truly genuine


Massa löften som har blivit spräckta
Realizing many promises have been broken

Watching time pass slowly, but steadily, as a foggy haze begins to envelop you as you disappear
