Drömmar
KSMB Lyrics

The lyrics of KSMB's song Drömmar tell the story of a person close to the singer who becomes mentally ill and is committed to a hospital. The doctors assure the singer that their loved one will get better, but they continue to struggle and even attempt suicide. The singer expresses their own feelings of despair and hopelessness, saying that they might have done the same thing. Finally, the person is declared cured, but they no longer have any dreams or ambitions, while the singer remains consumed by their own nightmares.

The lyrics are a poignant reflection on mental illness and the experience of losing oneself to it. The repetition of the word "drömmar" (dreams) and how it transforms from the person's own dreams to their loved one's nightmares and finally to the absence of dreams altogether is a powerful illustration of the toll that mental illness takes on a person's sense of self and future.

The music itself is punk-inspired and intense, with a strong drumbeat and the singer's raw, almost desperate delivery adding to the emotional impact of the lyrics. The song's simple structure and uncompromising message make it a classic of Swedish punk, and a powerful statement on the human cost of mental health struggles.
