Christian
Magnus Ekelund & Stålet Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Jag mötte dig i mörkret
Nån skulle döda mig
Men du sa till han
Att jag var okej

Du ville prata om solsken
Men din blick var blank
Din röst var matt

Och din mun rörde sig knappt

Klart att man kan bli paranoid
Om man alltid är bevakad av andra

Christian, Christian
Var är du i natt
Akta dig för svarta hål

Christian, Christian
Följ ditt hjärta hem
Alla här är efter dig
Du är den sista av ett slag

Jag höll käft och bara lyssna
Du snacka skit ibland
Men konsten vann
Och nått om nån dröm som försvann

Midvinter i Lule
Det är här vi bor
Så vi bränner allt
För vi räknas aldrig ändå

Ingenting är någon annans fel
Bättre att vara vilsen än försvunnen

Christian, Christian
Var är du i natt
Akta dig för svarta hål

Christian, Christian
Följ ditt hjärta hem
Alla här är efter dig
Du är den sista av ett slag

Dom vet ingenting om dig
Dom vet ingenting om
Dom vet ingenting om dig
Dom vet ingenting om dig

Akta dig för svarta hål

Du är den sista av ett slag

Line by Line Meaning

Jag mötte dig i mörkret
I met you in the darkness

Nån skulle döda mig
Someone would kill me

Men du sa till han
But you told him

Att jag var okej
That I was okay

Du ville prata om solsken
You wanted to talk about sunshine

Men din blick var blank
But your gaze was empty

Din röst var matt
Your voice was dull

Och din mun rörde sig knappt
And your mouth barely moved

Klart att man kan bli paranoid
Of course, one can become paranoid

Om man alltid är bevakad av andra
If one is always watched by others
