Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oslagbara...
Vart tog du vgen, ren gr
Jag trodde aldrig att vi skulle glmma, sluta drmma
Och kanske ringer vi ibland,
Lika frvnande att alltihop frsvann.
Vi ville och vann...
Vi var oslagbara,
Vi skt frn hften,
Vi hade svaren p allt
Alla flickor log och
Vi gav,
Vi tog
Vi gick ut, och natten skulle aldrig ta s***
Jag gr till jobbet, kommer hem,
Och jag har skaffat allt som jag behver, fina mbler
Jag lser sagor, lagar mat,
Och jag are lycklig,
Och p andra sidan stan lever du likadant,
Med kvinna och barn
Vi var oslagbara,
Vi skt frn hften,
Vi hade svaren p allt
Alla flickor log och
Vi gav,
Vi tog
Vi gick ut, och natten skulle aldrig ta s***
S ses vi vl ibland, och du frgar vad jag gr,
Och jag berttar nt du skert inte hr
S har vi blivit ldre
Hllsa och krama, vi ses...
Vi var oslagbara,
Vi skt frn hften,
Vi hade svaren p allt
Alla flickor log och
Vi gav,




Vi tog
Vi gick ut, och natten skulle aldrig ta s***

Overall Meaning

The Swedish song "Om" by Niklas Strömstedt depicts the nostalgic memories of two friends who once had the world at their feet and seemed invincible together. The lyrics speak about how the busyness of life, time, and distance have taken a hold of their friendship, and they have grown apart. The singer remembers how they once were inseparable and had all the answers, how they would go out and party all night and how they thought they would never forget those moments they shared. However, as the years have gone by, they have grown up, started families of their own, and their priorities have changed. But whenever they get together, they still have that unspoken bond that they once had.


The song invokes feelings of bittersweet reminiscence and longing for simpler times, where everything seemed possible. It is a testament to how deep-rooted friendships can withstand the test of time, despite the changes and milestones that life throws their way. The chorus is a reminder of how they used to live life without inhibition and how they believed that nothing could ever stop them from enjoying themselves. Overall, the lyrics of "Om" speak to the beauty of friendship, the inevitability of change, and the power of nostalgia to transport us back to those carefree days.
