Sandra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have a talk, be silent inside
Did you only want the shelter?
What is turning round your mind?
Loreen, Loreen,
They are down on you,
Could you ever find again,
Loreen, Loreen,
You´re so down and blue,
It´s getting better every day
But you are about to lose your way
Take a walk and I tail behind you,
Range your thoughts look over your life,
And I know what you´re reciting,
What is turning round your mind?
Loreen, Loreen,
They are down on you,
Could you ever find again,
Just what you´ve been before?
Loreen, Loreen,
You´re so down and blue,
It´s gettin´ better every day,
But you are about to lose your way
In this song, Sandra addresses a woman named Loreen who seems lost and in need of guidance. Sandra encourages Loreen to take a walk and spend some time alone to reflect on her life. She wonders if Loreen only sought shelter and is now in a state of confusion. Sandra is supportive of Loreen and wants her to find herself again. She assures her that things are getting better every day but warns her that she is about to lose her way.
The lyrics are a reminder that it's important to take time for ourselves to reflect on our lives and contemplate our goals and aspirations. Our busy lives can leave us feeling lost, but it's essential to take a step back and examine our paths to ensure we stay on track. The song also explores the theme of friendship and how friends can provide support during tough times.

Romantická vzpomínka na dobu, kdy hudba ještě byla nádherná.
@tajemstvi.bezejmennych.potoku
Přesně. 👍
@andrev8535
Sie war die populärste ausländische Sängerin in den 80-er in der UdSSR. Madonna war niemand im Vergleich zu ihr. Ein sehr schönes Lied ❤️
@schnoggel
Meine russischen Kollegen schwärmen immer noch von ihr. Genau wie ich :) Schade wie schnell die Zeit vergeht.
@DerSkalde
@@schnoggel Mit 15 habe ich sie vergöttert und alles mit ihren Postern tapeziert. :) In der jetzigen Nachbetrachtung kann ich absolut nicht mehr verstehen, warum das damals so war.
@hendrethegoagoses2110
