Hva Har Jeg da Gjort
På Slaget 12 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Det er ikke det
At du ikke elsker mig
Det er mere det
At du er ligeglad
Det er ikke det
At du hverken sa′ ja eller nej
Det er mere det
At du bare ikke gad

Det er ikke det
At du ikke si'r no′ed
Det er mere det
At du slet ikke vil
Det er ikke det
At jeg ingenting har fået
Det er mere det
At du vender ryggen til

Og hvis så bare
Jeg ku' få dig til at svare
Hvis bare hvis bare
Du ville svare på
Hvorfor hvorfor hvorfor
Hva' har jeg dog gjort?

Det er ikke det
At du ikke elsker mig
Det er mere det
At du er ligeglad
Det er ikke det
At du hverken sa′ ja eller nej
Det er mere det
At du bare ikke gad

Og hvis så bare
Jeg ku′ få dig til at svare
Hvis bare hvis bare
Du ville svare på
Hvorfor hvorfor hvorfor
Hva' har jeg dog gjort?

Og hvis så bare
Jeg ku′ få dig til at svare
Hvis bare hvis bare
Du ville svare på
Hvorfor hvorfor hvorfor
Hva' har jeg dog gjort?

Det er ikke det
At du ikke elsker mig
Det er mere det
At du er ligeglad
Det er ikke det
At du hverken sa′ ja eller nej
Det er mere det
At du bare ikke gad
Det er mere det




At du bare ikke gad
Uuhhhh ikke gad uuhhh ohhh yeah

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Hva Har Jeg da Gjort" by På Slaget 12 express feelings of confusion, heartache, and a sense of rejection in a relationship. The singer laments that it's not that their partner doesn't love them, but rather that they are indifferent to their feelings. The repeated refrain of "Det er ikke det at du ikke elsker mig, det er mere det at du er ligeglad" emphasizes the emotional pain of not feeling cared for or valued by their significant other. The theme of emotional neglect is prevalent throughout the song, as the singer expresses frustration that their partner doesn't seem to care about them or their relationship.


The lyrics further delve into the lack of responsiveness from the partner, highlighting that it's not about them not saying anything, but rather them not wanting to engage or communicate. The singer reflects on feeling ignored and unimportant, as their partner chooses to turn a blind eye and not address the issues at hand. The lines "Det er ikke det at du ikke si'r no′ed, det er mere det at du slet ikke vil" illustrate the deep disappointment and sadness of feeling neglected and unheard by someone they care about deeply.


The chorus repeatedly questions why the partner is behaving this way, begging for clarity and understanding. The yearning for a response or explanation is evident in lines like "Og hvis så bare jeg ku′ få dig til at svare, hvis bare hvis bare du ville svare på, hvorfor hvorfor hvorfor, hva' har jeg dog gjort?" The singer is desperate for their partner to acknowledge their feelings and provide a reason for their cold and indifferent behavior, illustrating a desire for reconciliation and closure in the relationship.


The final verses mirror the initial sentiments, reiterating the pain of feeling unloved, ignored, and dismissed by the partner. The repeated lines "Det er ikke det at du ikke elsker mig, det er mere det at du er ligeglad" emphasize the emotional impact of being disregarded and undervalued in a relationship. The inclusion of vocal ad-libs like "Uuhhhh ikke gad uuhhh ohhh yeah" adds a raw and vulnerable layer to the song, conveying the singer's deep emotional turmoil and longing for resolution in their troubled relationship.
