Albino
Ljungblut Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In a room with you,
Tables turned.
Chinese dolls with sad eyes,
Looking trough me.

Let's drink ourselves oblivious,
So we won't remember this.
Let's drink ourselves oblivious,

So we won't remember.

You can know somebody
Without knowing them at all.

But you can not win what lies within,
Then you lose the love you choose.

Overall Meaning

In the song "Albino" by Ljungblut, the singer finds themselves in a room with someone, but the tables have turned. It is clear that there is a sense of discomfort or tension in the air, as the Chinese dolls with sad eyes seem to be looking straight through the singer. Feeling overwhelmed, the singer suggests that they should drink until they become oblivious to their current situation and won't remember it.

The lyrics suggest a feeling of being disconnected from someone, even though they may be physically present. The line "You can know somebody without knowing them at all" speaks to the idea that while we may think we know someone, their true thoughts and emotions may remain hidden from us. This can ultimately lead to the loss of love and connection, as we may not have the tools to fully understand or appreciate the people in our lives.

Overall, "Albino" explores the complexities of human relationships and the difficulties that can arise when we struggle to connect with those around us. The lyrics are haunting and introspective, inviting the listener to reflect on their own experiences with love, loss, and the pursuit of connection.

Line by Line Meaning

In a room with you,
Being in your presence

Tables turned.
A reversal in the roles we play

Chinese dolls with sad eyes,
Lifeless objects symbolizing pity; conveying emotions

Looking trough me.
Seeing beyond the surface level

Let's drink ourselves oblivious,
Intoxicating ourselves to forget reality

So we won't remember this.
Erasing the memories we don't want to keep

You can know somebody
Perceiving people as you see them

Without knowing them at all.
Lacking an understanding of who they truly are

But you can not win what lies within,
Being unable to conquer the internal battles within oneself

Then you lose the love you choose.
Failing to maintain the relationships we commit to
