Inte en hund
Ladomir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Precis som allting vissnar han och dör
Bara en man - alltid i framtid
En tid är nu - han tänker stanna i samtid
Jag vill vara här
och precis så som jag är
Det finns ingen nästa värld
Bara en man som ska göra allt han kan
Helt utan måsten att slita sönder sig själv
Bara en man - av lika lite stål
Inte en sak - att äga som en hund
Jag vill vara här
och precis så som jag är
Det finns ingen evighet
Det finns ingen nästa värld
