Dynamite
Sigrid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't know where I am with you
Forgetting time and space with you
Oh, I wish we had a common view
You see my red as blue
I don't belong in your universe
For better or for worse

I'm the same, but I'm bolder
You'll get home, but I'm on my way out now
Not the same destinations
I will stay when you get off the train

You're as safe as a mountain
But know that I am dynamite
Oh, you're as safe as a mountain
But know that I am dynamite

Your hand is warm but my heart is blue
Is blue now
I miss you, but I've got things to do
Oh, I wish we had a common view
You see my red as blue
I don't belong in your universe
For better or for worse

I'm the same, but I'm bolder
You'll get home, but I'm on my way out now
Not the same destinations
I will stay when you get off the train

You're as safe as a mountain
But know that I am dynamite
Oh, you're as safe as a mountain
But know that I am dynamite
Know that I am dynamite, now ooh
Oh know, know that I am dynamite
Know that I am dynamite

Oh, it's so cold here
'Cause I left my heart to be with you
Oh, it's so cold here
'Cause I left my heart to be with you

I'm the same, but I'm bolder
You'll get home, but I'm on my way out now
Not the same destinations
Know I will stay when you get off the train

You're as safe as a mountain
But know that I am dynamite




Oh oh, you're as safe as a mountain
But know that I am dynamite

I love how her breakup songs don't make her sound crazy or the other person sound crazy. Most songs like this have conflict and are angry or bitter. This is just beautiful and tragic.

LoveAge

..very impressive analysis ...couldn't have put it any better myself..

Muhammad Yasir

i think this isn't a breakup song.

at least i hope this is not.

break ups and relationships are stupid. Making something of yourself is more important. at times, you feel tired and confused. you don't feel the same drive

but believe me, that end result is amazing. Relationships will come to you themselves, once you really make something out of your life.

Eden Gallagher

funny that you say beautiful and tragic bc there's a song called Sad Beautiful Tragic by Taylor Swift which is highly underrated that you should listen to, everyone thinks all Taylor's breakup songs are bitter but most of them aren't especially Sad Beautiful Tragic

Eden Gallagher

@Muhammad Yasir Relationships aren't stupid. People can be stupid in relationships but love is a really good thing that shouldn't be undervalued. Yes, it's definitely important to build yourself up before getting in a relationship but almost nobody actually does that lol and you can't fault them for just living life and exploring things they want. Ideally we would all be great individuals before getting in relationships but that's just impossible.

Found this song in 2018 and I've been in love with it since. It's literally gold to ears. I cannot get over how good it is.

shout out to the pianist too - so beautifully understated and sympathetic to the magic that is happening ...
