Grisarna och flugorna
Ossler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Utan smink med uppsatt hеr nдr du klev ut ur en volvo 142
Jag hade kдnt dig I knappt ett еr
Det var den sista gеng jag sеg dig dе I den dдr klдnningen med prickar pе
Och stцvlarna av gummi som var blе
Och jag ville bara ta pе dig
Innan fцr klдnningen och lдmna allting annat еt sig sjдlv
Jag ville bara va med dig…bland grisarna och flugorna
Vi lutade oss mot en stenvдgg, solen hade vдrmt den dдr
Jag hцll tеrarna tillbaka fцr jag visste att jag blivit kдr, alldeles fцr
Sent
Du hade just tцmt din trеnga etta som du hyrt I andra hand
Du skulle pе E18 vдsterut till dit eget land
Ohhh jag ville bara fцlja med
Svдva цver дngarna och lдmna stan fцr alltid еt sig sjдlv
Ville bara hдnga med dig bland grisarna och flugorna
Bland grisarna och flugorna
Men du еkte I ett moln av rцk till nеtt kollektiv
Och hдr stеr jag kvar I rцken med ett hеl I mitt liv
Jag skulle leva, skulle dц med dig dдr ute pе дngarna
Skulle lдmna den dдr skiten еt sig sjдlv
Men jag stеr ensam kvar pе gatan bara jag…och grisarna och flugorna
Och grisarna och flugorna
Jag stеr ensam kvar pе gatan, bara jag
Och grisarna och flugorna
The song "Grisarna och flugorna" by Ossler is about a person recalling a brief moment in time when they saw someone they were in love with. They describe seeing this person for the first time without makeup and with their hair up, stepping out of a Volvo 142. The singer had only known this person for a year, but they had already fallen in love. The last time they saw them was in a polka-dot dress and blue rubber boots. The singer wanted to touch this person before they took off their dress and left everything else behind. They just wanted to be with this person among the pigs and flies.
In the second verse, the mood shifts, and the person remembers the last time they saw the one they loved. They leaned against a stone wall, and the sun had warmed it. The singer tried to hold back tears because they knew they were in love too late. The person they loved had just vacated a tiny apartment they rented second-hand and was about to board the E18 westward to their own land. The singer wanted to follow them and leave the city behind. They wanted to hang out with them among the pigs and flies. Unfortunately, the person they loved got into a cloud of smoke, presumably from a train or bus, to a collective. Now the singer stands alone in the street, staring at the pigs and flies, with a hole in their life.

That was the last time I saw you then, in that dress with dots on it
Och stцvlarna av gummi som var blе

I held back my tears, for I knew I had fallen in love, too late
Du hade just tцmt din trеnga etta som du hyrt I andra hand
You had just emptied your small, second-hand apartment
Du skulle pе E18 vдsterut till dit eget land
You were going on the E18 westward to your own country
Ohhh jag ville bara fцlja med
Oh, I just wanted to follow you
Svдva цver дngarna och lдmna stan fцr alltid еt sig sjдlv
Float over the meadows and leave the city to itself forever
Ville bara hдnga med dig bland grisarna och flugorna
Just wanted to hang out with you amongst the pigs and flies
Men du еkte I ett moln av rцk till nеtt kollektiv
But you went off in a cloud of smoke to some community
Och hдr stеr jag kvar I rцken med ett hеl I mitt liv
And here I stand, still in the smoke, with a hole in my life
Jag skulle leva, skulle dц med dig dдr ute pе дngarna
I would have lived, would have died with you out there in the meadows
Skulle lдmna den dдr skiten еt sig sjдlv
Leave all that crap to itself
Men jag stеr ensam kvar pе gatan bara jag…och grisarna och flugorna
But I stand alone on the street, just me...and the pigs and flies
Och grisarna och flugorna
And the pigs and flies
Jag stеr ensam kvar pе gatan, bara jag
I stand alone on the street, just me
