The band composed of one Norwegian gal (Mia Bøe) and two Swedish dudes (Daniel Sjörs and Joel Nyström Holm). In this short period of time they have managed to create a characteristic sound, where ethereal and alluring vocals are interwoven in a mystical, ambient, dreamy and lovable expression. They have been compared to the likes of M83, Sigur Rós, jj and Cocteau Twins. They take inspiration from old black & white movies, the golden 80s, Balearic scenery, sleepless summer nights, and describe themselves as nostalgic daydreamers, which the music reflects perfectly.

Starting out in their native tongue, they moved on to bigger and dreamier things after releasing their track Rivers, described as “an absurdly picture-perfect Scandinavian dream pop gem.” With this track they reached a wider audience, attracting more attention to their music, and it was the start for what will become their very own sound. But the band continues to experiment down a very dreamy and 80s inspired path, as they make a name for themselves.

This is summery dream pop at its best; made for lazy days and dreamy nights.

Postiljonen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me who lied
When we waited for something to show
I know we fought the night
You always had a storm in your eyes

I could be the one you want when we're all gone
Help me, live on

I could be the one you hold when we're out of time
Get me somewhere I can roam alone

Oh you won't know
How I feel you in all that I do
And you, you came close
As you walked in and out of our lies

Then I'd feel you fading out

I could be the one you want when we're all gone
Help me, live on

I could be the one you hold when we're out of time
Get me somewhere I can roam alone

I could be the one you want when we're all gone
Help me, live on

I could be the one you hold when we're out of time
Get me somewhere I can roam alone

I'll be leaving you
I could be the one

I'll be leaving you
I could be the one...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Postiljonen's song "Help" depict a complicated relationship where the singer is trying to hold on to someone who constantly pushes them away. The lines "Tell me who lied when we waited for something to show" and "You always had a storm in your eyes" suggest that the relationship was built on deceit and emotional turbulence. Despite this, the singer still feels a strong connection with their partner, as evidenced by the lines "Oh you won't know, how I feel you in all that I do" and "I could be the one you want when we're all gone, Help me, live on."

The chorus of the song, which repeats the lines "I could be the one you want when we're all gone, Help me, live on. I could be the one you hold when we're out of time, Get me somewhere I can roam alone," serves as a plea for the other person to recognize the singer's worth and value in the relationship. The final lines of the song, "I'll be leaving you, I could be the one," suggest that despite the singer's desire to stay in the relationship, they realize it may be time to let go and move on.

Line by Line Meaning

Tell me who lied
Asking for the truth among all the deception

When we waited for something to show
During the anticipation of something significant happening

I know we fought the night
Acknowledging a past argument or dispute

You always had a storm in your eyes
Referring to the other person's intense emotions, which can be seen in their eyes

I could be the one you want when we're all gone
Offering support in times of hardship or loss

Help me, live on
Asking for help to keep going despite the challenges

I could be the one you hold when we're out of time
Offering comfort and closeness during a difficult situation

Get me somewhere I can roam alone
Desiring solitude and space to reflect

Oh you won't know
Expressing uncertainty about the other person's awareness or understanding

How I feel you in all that I do
Feeling the other person's influence and impact in everything

And you, you came close
Describing the other person's nearness, both physically and emotionally

As you walked in and out of our lies
Acknowledging the presence of deception in the relationship

Then I'd feel you fading out
Sensing the other person's distance or withdrawal

I'll be leaving you
Announcing the decision to end the relationship

I could be the one
Offering the possibility of continuing the relationship despite the impending separation

I'll be leaving you
Repeating the decision to end the relationship

I could be the one...
Leaving the possibility of reconnecting in the future open

Maybe the best song of a great album indeed. An excellent debut and one of the best works in Dream Pop of the recent past. I personally find fascinating that blurry voice, which suggests you even more for her tone than for the lyrics.
