Berlin
Nordstrøm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ved Alexanderplatz
Vender mine syner
I en uendelig nat
Du sender hede bølger
Med Nordens kolde vind
Højtrykket det følger
Jeg går ud af mit gode skind
Der i blæst går op og i
Baby jeg’ din
Hvem kan sove i Berlin
Du’ min medicin
Hvem kan sove i Berlin
Berlin, Berlin, Berlin
Jeg som har lagt planer
Hvem der bare sov
På dine hvide lagner
Hvis jeg bare ku få lov
Jeg går gennem natten
Med alkohol og kvindeskrig
Bare denne tankestrejfen
Ikke hele tiden jog forbi
Baby jeg’ din
Hvem kan sove i Berlin
Du’ min medicin
Hvem kan sove i Berlin
Berlin, Berlin, Berlin
The lyrics of Nordstrøm's song "Berlin" paint a picture of the city as dark and alluring, with references to the cold Northern winds and endless nights. The singer is having trouble sleeping, likely due to the excitement and stimulation that the city provides. The opening lines describe the singer as being in winter blankets at Alexanderplatz, one of Berlin's most famous squares. The singer's gaze wanders into the infinite night, perhaps contemplating the never-ending possibilities that Berlin presents. The next lines suggest the city's intoxicating nature, with waves of passion and the cold Northern winds colliding. The singer is so enthralled with the city's energy that they feel as though they are stepping outside of themselves.
Later in the song, the singer mentions their plans for their time in Berlin, but also seems to be distracted by the idea of sleeping with someone. They walk through the city at night, with the sounds of alcohol and women's cries around them. The "tankestrejf," or stray thought, of sleeping with someone seems to permeate the singer's mind throughout the song. The chorus then repeats, with the singer acknowledging that the only one who can cure their sleeplessness is the person they are thinking of, personified as "Baby."
Overall, the song portrays Berlin as a city of excess, with the singer caught up in its energy and the possibilities it presents. The lyrics suggest a sense of restlessness and yearning to experience everything the city has to offer.
