Naboerne
Sebastian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hvorfor sku' man vove både liv og lemmer,
Skabe sig besvær - I et herrens vejr.
Ofte bliver man svigt selv af bedste venner,
Sådan er det her
Ingen sætter noget på spil for dig

Du og jeg
Det kan være både dumt og dyrt at takke nej

Pludslelig står man der med begge hæner fulde,
Vi har hjulpet før - uden at få en øre.
Vi har nok at trækkes med I denne kulde,
Derfor er det vidst
Bedst at passe sit og glemme sig

Du og jeg
Det kan være både dumt og dyrt at takke nej

Ræk aldrig fanden selv en lillefinger,
Det er den besked - vi er vokset med
Vi er ingen helte, vi er dem vi kender.,
Vi vil gerne vide
Næste gang om det betale sig

Du og jeg
Det kan være både dumtog dyrt at takke nej

(mellemspil)

Du og jeg

Nej!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Naboerne" by Sebastian explore the theme of taking risks and helping others. The first verse questions why one would risk their life and limb, and go through trouble in the midst of adversity. It highlights how even the best of friends can betray one another, and that nobody is willing to put anything on the line for another. The chorus "Du og jeg, Det kan være både dumt og dyrt at takke nej" translates to "You and I, it can be both foolish and expensive to say no", implying that sometimes we need to take risks, even if it comes at a cost.


The second verse is about how sometimes we are left to fend for ourselves in the face of hardship. Even though in the past, the singer has helped others without expecting anything in return, they have learned that it is better to look out for themselves in this cold world. The bridge serves as a warning to not even extend a small kindness, as it implies that it will lead to more demands. The final chorus ends on a defiant "Nej!" (No!), indicating that while helping others may come at a cost, it is better to stand up for oneself and not be taken advantage of.


Overall, the lyrics remind us that while helping others may come with risks, it is important to not lose oneself in the process and to prioritize oneself when necessary.
