Rebel
Rigmor Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dagen
Har fyldt dig med dens timer
Med tam tryghed og klamme krav
Har den fyldt dig med timer

Aviserne har fyldt din sjæl
med frygt og fremtidstrusler
Med afvisninger af din selvtillid

Og rasende kedsomhed

Du går ud i gadenattens søvnige distraktioner
Du går ned med dig selv i hånden
Du går ud i gadenattens søvnige distraktioner
Men du vil op igen
Op til stjernerne
Du vil op igen
Helt op til stjernerne

Dagen
Har fyldt dig med dens timer
Med tam tryghed og klamme krav
Har den fyldt dig med timer

Du går ud i gadenattens søvnige distraktioner
Du går ned med dig selv i hånden
Du går ud i gadenattens søvnige distraktioner
Men du vil op igen
Op til stjernerne
Du vil op igen
Helt op til stjernerne

Du står der på gaden og skriger
Men det er nat og alle sover

Du står der på gaden og skriger
Om verden
