Topsy
Sebastian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Første gang
Allerførste gang
Er vi som det svundne i en drøm
Denne gang
Som var det sidste gang
Førend vi forsvinder udenom
Topsy gør mig skør
Topsy, jeg synes, jeg så dig lige før
Gå igennem uvirkelig som en engel

Første nat
Denne ene nat
Er det svært at tro det – er det sandt?
At stjernerne
I dine mørke øjne
Lyste så jeg tog dem før de svandt
Topsy – tværtimod




Topsy, er du både kød og blod
Helt igennem – og virkelig ingen engel

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sebastian's song "Topsy" can be interpreted as a reflection on the intense and surreal experience of falling in love for the first time. The singer describes the initial encounter as reminiscent of a distant memory, almost like a dream. The feelings that arise are so powerful that they seem like they could be the last time they will ever experience such emotions before vanishing. The mention of "Topsy" in the lyrics suggests that this person or the love they represent has the ability to drive the singer crazy and make them feel like they have just glimpsed them before. The comparison to an angel adds an ethereal quality to Topsy, someone who appears to be unreal or unattainable.


As the lyrics progress, the singer emphasizes the significance of the first night spent together. It becomes difficult to believe if it is true or not, like a dream come to life. The stars in Topsy's dark eyes shine brightly, captivating the singer so much that they feel compelled to seize them before they disappear. The mention of Topsy being flesh and blood contradicts the previous reference to them as an unreal angel, suggesting that they are a real person with whom the singer shares this extraordinary connection.


Overall, "Topsy" captures the enchantment and overwhelming emotions that come with the first experience of love, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy.
