Sundance kid
Kent Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Det var en gång för så länge sen
do och jag slogs mot dumheten
Vi följdes åt till våra drömmars stad
Vind i håret och vår sikt låg klar

Vi visste allt pojkars övermod
Ett farligt vapen var vår blinda tro
Det var en gång i ett annat liv
Ett annat dom mot ett annat vi och jag

Hör do mig?
Hör do mig?
Kan do höra mig?
(Hör do mig?
Hör do mig?)
Allt det här är för dig
Hör do mig?
Hör do mig?
Kan do höra mig?
Allt vi sagt, allt vi gjort blev en sång för dig

Ambitionen var ett långsamt gift
do höll ut länge men do föll till sist
Och jag den svage, jag står ensam kvar
En sista rest av en utdöd art och jag

Hör do mig?
Hör do mig?
Kan do höra mig?
(Hör do mig?
Hör do mig?)
Allt det här är för dig
Hör do mig?
Hör do mig?
Kan do höra mig?
Allt vi sagt, allt vi gjort blev en sång för dig

Ammunitionen tog slut till sist
Nu kan ni kalla mig the Sundance Kid
Den fria viljan var vår tonårsdröm
Men vi är bara instinkt, bara djur och allt är lögn

Hör do mig?
Hör do mig?
Kan do höra mig?
(Hör do mig?
Hör do mig?)
Allt det här är för dig
Hör do mig?
Hör do mig?




Kan do höra mig?
Allt vi sagt, allt vi gjort blev en sång för dig

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kent's song "Sundance Kid" describe the memories of two friends, "do" and "jag," who once fought against stupidity and followed their dreams to a city of possibilities. They were rebellious and overconfident, which they knew could be a dangerous mix. They were young and unafraid, with the wind in their hair and a clear view of the future. The song reflects on how they became separated, losing sight of their dreams and becoming casualties to ambition and the pressures of growing up. The lyricist laments being the only one left standing as an extinct species, and his friend is gone.


The chorus repeats the phrase, "Hör do mig?" which translates to "Can you hear me?" This question is directed towards the friend, as if they are still able to communicate despite being separated. The lyricist reflects on their journey, and despite the rough road, everything they said and did has become a song meant for their friend.


The lyrics of "Sundance Kid" evoke a sense of nostalgia and regret of times that have passed. The chorus signifies the longing to reconnect and reconcile despite the distance and how much has changed. The song reminds listeners of the importance of cherishing every moment and living without taking life for granted.

We followed each other to the city of our dreams


Vind i håret och vår sikt låg klar
Wind in our hair and our vision was clear


Vi visste allt pojkars övermod
We knew all about boys' overconfidence


Ett farligt vapen var vår blinda tro
A dangerous weapon was our blind faith

A different judgment against a different you and me

Ambitionen var ett långsamt gift
Ambition was a slow poison


do höll ut länge men do föll till sist
You held out for a long time but you eventually fell


Och jag den svage, jag står ensam kvar
And I, the weak one, am left alone


En sista rest av en utdöd art och jag
A final remnant of a extinct species, and me


Ammunitionen tog slut till sist
The ammunition ran out in the end


Nu kan ni kalla mig the Sundance Kid
Now you can call me the Sundance Kid


Den fria viljan var vår tonårsdröm
Free will was our teenage dream


Men vi är bara instinkt, bara djur och allt är lögn
But we are only instinct, only animals, and everything is a lie


Allt vi sagt, allt vi gjort blev en sång för dig
Everything we said, everything we did became a song for you

I dedicate this song to a swedish friend I had at the time called Jenny. We are no longer in touch, that´s the way life is, but everytime I listen to this song I remember the time we spend together in Spain. Wonderfull memories of a painfull time...I guess that is what life is about.

This has just taken me back in time 13 years... I used to adore this album. Must get my hands on it again!

I absolutely love two things about kent: 1) Their sound 2) The fact that the lyrics are in their mother tongue!

StaticSplitScreen

It's a shame the band isn't as well-known in the States...I really dig this song.

Super Wig Maker

This is one of the songs that when you know the meaning of the lyrics and hear the melody you feel nostalgic even though the song is not that old. I once had a dream where I was finding notes from past lives and incidents that didn't matter and this song was kind of playing when I was reading the letters.
