Rasmus Seebach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Olivia hun lukker ikk' nogen ind i sit hjerte, heller ikk' dig
Du kan næsten se det på hend', verden kan ikke nå hend'
De si'r' hun jagter drømme
Hun si'r "Hey superstar, kom og tag mig væk herfra
Væk før natten er omme"
Hun ta'r en dans til, og ta'r et shot mer'
Hva' end der holder tårerne tilbage
Musikken spiller og Olivia si'r
"Kom og tag mig helt der ud, hvor drømmene de aldrig ender
Og lad mig aldrig vågne
Kom og giv mig endnu en af dine vilde, søvnløse nætter
Og dans under måne"
Jeg tænker på Olivia
Jeg tænker stadig på Olivia
Der var engang, hun var en helt normal pige
Der blev forelsket i en helt normal dreng
Men tiden gik, og de blev voksne en dag
Hun sagd' farvel og han skrev det i en sang
Og der' sket så meget siden
Også ting jeg ikke vil vide
Ja, jeg har hørt historier
Der sker så meget i natten
De ka' sig' hvad de vil, bar' la' dem
Snak' og puds' deres glorier
Jeg håber blot hun ved hvem hun er
Og ikk' glemmer sig selv på det dansegulv
Og hun er helt væk, og han er lige der
Musikken spiller og Olivia si'r
"Kom og tag mig helt der ud, hvor drømmene de aldrig ender
Og lad mig aldrig vågne
Kom og giv mig endnu en af dine vilde, søvnløse nætter
Og dans under måne"
Jeg tænker på Olivia
Jeg tænker stadig på Olivia
Jeg håber' der noget af Olivia tilbage, tilbage
Når festen er slut, og hun vågner en dag
Men i nat si'r hun
"Kom og tag mig helt der ud, hvor drømmene de aldrig ender
Kom og giv mig endnu en af dine vilde, søvnløse nætter"
"Kom og tag mig helt der ud, hvor drømmene de aldrig ender
Og lad mig aldrig vågne
Kom og giv mig endnu en af dine vilde, søvnløse nætter
Og dans under måne"
Jeg tænker på Olivia
Jeg tænker stadig på Olivia

The lyrics of Rasmus Seebach's song Olivia tell the story of a girl named Olivia who is known for saying yes to parties and nights out, but says no to love. She closes off her heart, not letting anyone in, and is known for chasing her dreams. The world cannot reach her, and she is perceived as wanting to escape from reality. Olivia is even referred to as a superstar, yet she wants to be taken away from the night before it ends. She wants to let go and dance, taking a shot if she needs to hold back her tears. Olivia wants to be taken to a place where dreams never end, where she can have wild, sleepless nights and dance under the moon. The song's narrator ponders the girl's story, wondering if there is still anything left of her after the parties are over and if she will remember who she truly is.
The song conveys the idea of chasing illusions and wanting to escape reality by continuously partying and searching for something that can never be fulfilled. Olivia is seeking a world where her dreams never end, reflecting her desire for a life where she does not need to face the harsh realities of life. The singer seems to be concerned about Olivia, hoping that she remembers herself after indulging in a life filled with parties and wild nights. The song's message is clear: one can never run away from reality, as it will eventually catch up with them.

Der var engang, hun var en helt normal pige
There was a time when she was a completely normal girl
Der blev forelsket i en helt normal dreng
Who fell in love with a completely normal boy
Men tiden gik, og de blev voksne en dag
But time passed, and they grew up one day
Hun sagd' farvel og han skrev det i en sang
She said goodbye and he wrote it in a song
Og der' sket så meget siden
So much has happened since then
Også ting jeg ikke vil vide
Things I don't want to know
Ja, jeg har hørt historier
Yes, I've heard stories
Der sker så meget i natten
So much happens at night
De ka' sig' hvad de vil, bar' la' dem
They can say whatever they want, just let them
Snak' og puds' deres glorier
Talk and boast about their glories
Jeg håber blot hun ved hvem hun er
I just hope she knows who she is
Og ikk' glemmer sig selv på det dansegulv
And doesn't forget herself on the dance floor
Jeg håber' der noget af Olivia tilbage, tilbage
I hope there's something left of Olivia, back
Når festen er slut, og hun vågner en dag
When the party is over, and she wakes up one day
Men i nat si'r hun
But tonight she says
"Kom og tag mig helt der ud, hvor drømmene de aldrig ender
"Take me out where dreams never end
Kom og giv mig endnu en af dine vilde, søvnløse nætter"
Give me another wild, sleepless night"
