Pusstervik
Riga Tiger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Men du dansar än
Tiotusen låtar har jag hört
Men ingen så dålig som den här
Men du dansar än
Tja!
Sa du till mig i dörren
Jag var snyggare förr
Men det spelar ju ingen roll ju
För tangobenen har jag kvar
Och vi är gummiband du och jag
I tiden och i dansen och i livet
Vi skiter i jazzen och flyger iväg
Vi kommer aldrig tillbaks
Åh, vi kommer aldrig tillbaks
Vi kastar mynt i fontänen
Önskar mig nåt fint och får nåt fint
Utanför Pustervik kysser du mig
Och jag är i himmelen igen, bejb
Vi är gummiband ikväll, väl?
Vi kommer aldrig tillbaks
Åh, vi kommer aldrig tillbaks
Vi kommer aldrig tillbaks, nej
Vi kommer aldrig tillbaks, nej
Vi kommer aldrig tillbaks, nej
Vi kommer aldrig mer tillbaks
Vi kommer aldrig tillbaks, nej
Vi kommer aldrig tillbaks, nej
Vi kommer aldrig tillbaks, nej
Vi kommer aldrig mer tillbaks, så är det
The lyrics to Riga Tiger's song "Pusstervik" are reflective of a night out where the singer is ready to leave, but their partner is still dancing. Despite the plethora of songs that the singer has listened to, they find none as bad as the current one that's playing. The partner approaches them at the door, commenting on how they look better now, but the singer believes they were better in the past. However, it doesn't matter as they still have their "tango legs," and they are like "rubber bands" in their journey through time and the dance of life. They don't care for jazz and want to escape.
They throw coins in a fountain, hoping for something good and receiving it. The partner kisses the singer, who feels like they're in heaven once again. Together they are rubber bands tonight, and they know they'll never return to that point in their lives. Despite this, they cherish the moment, knowing they have each other.
The lyrics demonstrate an appreciation and understanding of life, knowing that moments in time come and pass, concluding that they will never return to that particular moment, yet still cherishing it.
