Stockholm
SNOH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On the beautiful streets of Stockholm
Reminiscing the time this was home
Familiar Faces, They've grown old
A lot on my mind is untold
Letters unwritten, unfold, unsent
Oh I don't know
It's all in the past
But my mother, she knows
Stolen away, almost
And now I don't care for the cold
Cause the summer is green and all gold
I'm at peace
Stockholm
The lyrics to Stockholm by Snoh Aalegra describe the singer's return to her hometown, Stockholm. She is walking alone on the beautiful streets of the city, remembering the time when this place was home. However, everything feels different now. The familiar faces she once knew have grown old, and there are a lot of things on her mind that are untold. She thinks about unwritten letters, which are still left unsent. While she feels helpless in dealing with all of these unresolved issues, she accepts the past and her sorrow.
Despite everything, she finds solace and peace in being back in Stockholm. She recognizes that the cold of the city that once bothered her no longer holds any significance because of the beauty of the green summer. The last line of the song, "I'm at peace Stockholm," is a conclusion of this reflection on the past and present.
Overall, the lyrics beautifully capture the feeling of nostalgia and acceptance that comes with revisiting a place that once held so much significance.
