The group have been given the label "super group", because all the members have a background in other well known bands from Bergen, like Pogo Pops, Barbie Bones and Chocolate Overdose. However, the members say they're just "some buddies who like the same music".
Silver Lining
Popium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes the sun is shining
For better for worse, I'd like to crown you
The best-looking girl of all good-looking girls in the world
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I believe you are the reason
For feeling this way I feel today
For making my mind go so astray
And I wonder if anything could conquer this
Wonder if it's never-ending
Too many times I've been heading for the great abyss
Falling from where I am standing
Sometimes the world revolves around you
Sometimes the sun is shining
For better for worse, I'd like to crown you
The best-looking girl of all good-looking girls in the world
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I believe this is the season
For letting it go, this overload
I believe this is the season
For making my way from the undertow
And I wonder if anything can conquer this
Wonder if it's never-ending
Too many times I've been heading for the great abyss
Falling from where I am standing
Sometimes the world revolves around you
Sometimes the sun is shining
For better for worse, I'd like to crown you
The ultimate silver lining
Sometimes the world revolves around you
Sometimes the sun is shining
For better for worse, I'd like to crown you
The ultimate silver lining
We go on, and on, and on, we go
And everything will blow
Feeling brand new, just like you do, just like I do
Crash into each other
On, and on, and on, we go
And everything will blow
Feeling brand new, just like you do, just like we do now
