Utopia
Lykke Li Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We could shine brighter than glitter
There's only one way up
We could be the most transcendent
Go deep like Dylan
There's only one way out
I see, I see, I see the dream in your eyes and I want it
If there's a bomb in your heart I'll disarm it
If you want it then I want it
We could be utopia, utopia
You and me, utopia, utopia
We could be utopia, utopia
You and me, utopia, utopia
I don't wanna wait another lifetime
Just to get a dose of the high life
I see, I see, I see a light in your eyes and I want it
It's burning bright like a fire from a comet
Take your heart out the box, I won't harm it
If you want it then I want it
We could be utopia, utopia
You and me, utopia, utopia
We could be utopia, utopia
You and me, utopia, utopia
We could be utopia, utopia
You and me, utopia, utopia
We could be utopia, utopia
You and me, utopia, utopia
You told me ya, would stay with me
Stay in love, won't get enough
Cloud nine nine, mind body
You told me ya, would stay with me
Stay in love, never leave
You won't bow out
You won't run out
When all my shit's out
Utopia, utopia, utopia
Utopia, utopia
Utopia, utopia, utopia, utopia
Utopia, utopia
In "Utopia," Lykke Li sings about the possibility of creating a perfect world and a perfect relationship with someone special. The lyrics suggest that by working together, they can go beyond the mundane and achieve transcendence, just like the trippy effects of psychedelic drugs. The imagery of shining brighter than glitter and going deep like Dylan are metaphors that imply that they can achieve greatness while remaining true to themselves.
The song's chorus sings about the possibility of finding a utopia in each other. The lyrics suggest that they can create a perfect world together by sharing their dreams, breaking down walls, and opening their hearts. This utopia appears to be an idealistic vision of a relationship that is pure and free from any negative influence. It’s a place where they feel safe, free, and happy. It’s the place they always want to be: together.
Overall, "Utopia" is a powerful love song that encourages us to open ourselves up to a deeper, more meaningful relationship. It’s about dreaming big and being willing to take risks to create the life you want with the person you love.

Es injusto como un video y una canción tan llena de magia no sea valorada. Artistas como Lykke deberían de estar en tendencia, hablar sobre ella. Su música me ha inspirado desde hace bastantes años, y lo que ella hace es simplemente hermoso. Todo mi apoyo a su arte. #SosadSosexy.
Alberto Revilla
Lykke Li es una artista muy reconocida desde hace muchos años y ahora la ponen todos los días en Radio3. No será valorada en las cadenas basura...

I love it that Lykke Li is a good singer but don´t give a shit to use synths and drumcomputers in her music. And still sounds real and honest. Very good production!!!!
