Rasmus Seebach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jeg er en af dem, der bliver ved til den lyse morgen.
I et splitsekund
stod hun der foran mig,
og det mindede om kærlighed.
I hendes øjne var kærlighed, uh.
Sendt af sted igen,
kigger ud på byens lys fra en taxa.
I radioen spiller de endnu en sang om kærlighed.
Hvad ved de egentlig om kærlighed? Uh.
Ramt af lynet, da jeg så dig første gang
på et dansegulv.
Hele min verden stod i brand
på et dansegulv igen.
Hvor blev du af?
Jeg må finde dig før daggry.
Ah, sirenerne, uh,
kalder på mig i det fjerne.
Jeg er blevet ramt i mit hjerte, uh, uh.
Ah, hør sirenerne, uh,
kalder på mig i det fjerne.
Jeg er blevet ramt i mit hjerte, uh, uh.
Lyset blænder mig,
Jeg kan ikke se dig,
men jeg mærker, du er tæt på.
Måske er det et tegn,
et tegn, at dj'en nu spiller
vores sang om kærlighed
Giv mig mer' af din kærlighed, uh.
Som ramt af lynet, da jeg så dig første gang
på et dansegulv.
Hele min verden stod i brand
på et dansegulv igen.
Hvor blev du af?
Jeg må finde dig før daggry.
Ah, sirenerne, uh,
kalder på mig i det fjerne.
Jeg er blevet ramt i mit hjerte, uh, uh.
Ah, hør sirenerne, uh,
kalder på mig i det fjerne.
Jeg er blevet ramt i mit hjerte, uh, uh.
Åh - Uh - Yeah
Kun et smil, kun et blik, kun et skud.
Pigen skød mig ned, og før min tid løber ud,
må jeg se hende igen.
Hvor blev du af?
Jeg må finde dig før daggry.
Sirenerne
kalder på mig i det fjerne.
Jeg er blevet ramt i mit hjerte, uh, uh.
Ah, hør sirenerne, uh,
kalder på mig i det fjerne.
Jeg er blevet ramt i mit hjerte, uh, uh.
Kun et smil, kun et blik, kun et skud.
Pigen skød mig ned, og før min tid løber ud,
må jeg se hende igen.
Jeg må se hende igen,
igen, igen, igen.
The song "Sirenerne" by Rasmus Seebach talks about the singer's search for love and how he gets struck by love at first sight. The lyrics suggest the singer is always on the move, unable to stay in one place for too long. It is said that he's seen the signs of love in the eyes of someone who stopped him in his tracks, a momentary glance that made him feel as though his world was on fire. Though this moment of love is gone in an instant, he can't seem to shake off its impact. The memory of that moment lingers even as he looks out the window of his taxi and hears another song about love play on the radio. The singer's search for love becomes more urgent as he feels the call of the sirens in the distance, reminding him of the pain of being in a world without love.
The references to love and the search for it underlines the theme of the song, which revolves around passion and finding someone who understands you. The reference to the sirens in the distant is significant, as it may represent the warning signs of a dangerous pursuit of love. There's a sense of urgency in the singer's search for love, as he feels he needs to find it before the dawn breaks. The repeated reference to the dance floor and the idea of getting shot by love suggests that the singer is ready to take a risk and make the most of the opportunity when it comes around.
