Stackars
Lars Winnerbäck Lyrics

Stackars mannen med medaljer som bara putsar sina minnen Han sitter tyst bland gammalt skrot Kan inte se för allt sot Att ingen sitter mittemot
A man with many achievements, however, he spends most of his time reminiscing about his past accomplishments. He sits alone in his own world surrounded by old things, but the only thing it brings him is sadness. There is no one around to appreciate his medals and his success.

Stackars hon som flyter med Som aldrig lärde sig ta sats Hon som ägna all sin tid Åt nåt hon inte ville bli För det var bara där det fanns en plats
There is a woman who never really learned how to take control of her own life. She followed the path that was presented to her but it was not what she truly wanted. She put all her energy and focus on doing something she was not passionate about, just because it was the only option presented to her.

Stackars den som inte bryr sig Stackars dom som aldrig tyr sig Till andra än sig själv Och stackars fåglarna i bur
Those who only care about themselves and never bother to show empathy or compassion towards others are to be pitied, as are the birds who are locked up in cages.

Och stackars dom som stänger in sig Hundra dagar utan heder Stackars dom som lever så Stackars dom som tittar på Hur märkligt kan man må
People who isolate themselves and don't engage with the world around them are suffering in their own way. It's a sad existence to live day after day with no sense of purpose, with a constant feeling of disconnect from reality.

Stackars han som aldrig kämpar Han som säger "stackars mob!" Han som hamna först i kön Och blev så nöjd med sin lön Att han glömde sitt jobb
There's a man who never puts in any effort and constantly makes excuses. He is content with being first in line for everything and bragging about his achievements, although the reality is that he failed to live up to his responsibilities and fulfill his duties.

Stackars den som inte bryr sig Stackars hon som aldrig fryser Och alltid får vad hon vill ha Stackars hon som har det bra
It may seem as though someone who has everything they could ever want is living the good life, but in reality, they are deprived of the joys of wanting and working hard to achieve something. They are to be pitied just as much as those who have nothing to be thankful for.

Stackars hon som ville opp Men inte började från början I Skara står en man Som låter henne trampa på och skrapa ansiktet i gruset
There's a woman who dreams of success but never put in the necessary hard work from the beginning. She now has to face a man who takes pleasure in belittling her and allowing her to fail in order to prove himself better.

Stackars han som aldrig gråter Fast han släpar på ett höghus Vad är det ingen ska få se som ingen inte redan sett Och vart ska det där huset
A man who carries a heavy burden but feels he has to keep it hidden, never showing his emotions. What is he hiding within that building, where no one knows what is going on behind closed doors?

Stackars hämmade lakej Stackars dig och stackars mig Det är en konstig värld vi lever i Ingenting är vad man tror.
We are all victims of society's expectations and the roles imposed on us. We lead difficult lives with problems and issues that are never visible on the surface. It's a strange world we are living in, where nothing is as it seems.
