Elegi
Lars Winnerbдck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jag sitter ensam hдare och undrar var vi hamnar hдrnдst
Med dig pе andra sidan jorden fеare jag tid till ingenting
Medan natten fдller blе, kalla skuggor hдromkring
Vi skulle klara vad som helst, vi skulle aldrig sдga nej
Och vad du anfцrtror еt mig, ska jag anfцrtro еt dig
Guds son ska komma nerstigen frеn himmelen igen.
Du ska stе naken framfцare sanningen och jordens alla kval.
Han ska prцva din styrka, han ska testa din moral.
Vi stеare tysta framfцare skдlet, dдare sommaren tar s***
Som tonеrsbarn pе hemvдg efter gеrdagens debut
Nu skulle inget bli som fцrr, vi var I en annan division
Vi kunde hцra hцstens mцrka vatten brusa under bron
Vi skulle klara vad som helst, vi skulle aldrig sдga nej
Och vad du anfцrtror еt mig, ska jag anfцrtro еt dig
Och alldeles nyss fick jag lyssna till ditt skratt
Och du berдtta' att du saknar mig I natt, det gцare jag med
Det дare sе tyst nerifrеn gatan som det aldrig annars дare
Det дare som om natten hдare har sett allting och stilla sjunger med
En elegi fцare alla sorger den dдare hцsten handla om
Fцare en mor som sjukna in, fцare ett barn som aldrig kom
Fцare skuggan цver gеrn dдare aldrig solen lyste in
Fцare en ork som inte fanns, du sakna min, jag sakna din
Fцare en tystnad mellan vдggarna som skar genom cement
Tvе цgonpar I tomhet frеn september till advent
Fцare en man som gick till jobbet som om inget hade hдnt
Fцare en kvinna som sa "allting дr fцrstцrt, allt дr brдnt"
En elegi fцare alla vдgar som vi inte vandrat дn
Fцare en tid som bara gеare och aldrig kommer igen
Vi skulle klara vad som helst, vi skulle aldrig sдga nej
Och vad du anfцrtror еt mig, ska jag anfцrtro еt dig
The first verse of Lars Winnerbдck's "Elegi" describes a moment of reflection as the sun sets in the west while the singer is alone, wondering where they will end up next with their loved one on the other side of the world. The lyrics capture a sense of longing and isolation, as the night falls and the shadows grow darker. The second verse speaks of a storm brewing and the idea of facing judgment and moral trials, and standing before the truth with all of life's challenges weighing heavily upon you.
As the song moves into its final verses, it evolves into a poignant elegy dedicated to all of life's sorrows and unanswered questions. The song speaks of the pain of losing loved ones, of unfulfilled dreams, and the struggles of trying to hold onto hope in the face of adversity. Despite the many challenges and setbacks that come their way, the singer and their loved one vow to always be there for each other, offering to share each other’s burdens.
The song is a hauntingly beautiful meditation on the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing the people and moments that matter most to us - even as we face the inevitability of loss and the unknown.

Lyrics in English:
You see the other half of the sun, as it sets in west
I sit alone here and wonder where we'll end up next
With you on the other side of the world, I get time for nothing
While the night sheds cold blue shadows hereabouts
We were going to manage anything, we were never going to say no
And what you trust me with, I'll trust you with
There is a storm coming tonight, ransack and confess
The son of god will descend from the heavens again
You will stand naked in front of the truth and the qualms of the world
He will try your mettle, he will test your morals
We stand silent by the fork in the road, where summer ends
Like teenagers on the way home after yesterdays debut
Now nothing would be like before, we were in another dimension
We could hear the dark water of autumn flow under the bridge
We were going to manage anything, we were never going to say no
And what you trust me with, I'll trust you with
Just a moment ago, I got to hear your laugh
And it told me that you miss me tonight, and so do I
It's quiet by the street, like it never is otherwise
It is as if the night here, has seen everything and silently sings along
An elegy for all the sorrows this autumn was about
For a mother that got sick, for a child that never came
For the shadow over the yard, where the sun never shone
For a strength that wasn't there, you miss mine, I miss yours
For a silence between the walls, that cut through cement
Two pair of eyes in emptiness from September until advent
For a man that went to work, as if nothing had happend
For a woman that said everything is ruined, everything is burnt
An elegy for all the roads that we have yet to walk
For a time that just goes and never comes again
We were going to manage anything, we were never going to say no
And what you trust me with, I'll trust you with

Tack Lasse! Älskar dina låtar❤
@jimmystrand1551
En saknad tid av ungdom, en bränd själ av tillit, en sorg inför en förlorad kärlek, en känsla av tomhet, en tomhet av lycka. Winnerbäck har alla svar. Och han kan sätta ord på känslor som bläck på ett papper!!!💖
@Noobs343
Jag har aldrig kunnat säga det i ord, vad hans låtar är om.... Jag snor detta nu, det är mitt i prick. Folk som inte gillar honom förstår inte hans texter, vi som älskar hans texter känner det han vill säga så starkt....
@matsolofsson3522
Knarka, sup och njut....
