Hotel
Sofia Hedia Lyrics

These lyrics are from Sofia Hedia's song "Hotel," and they depict a summer night in Copenhagen. The singer and her partner are staying in a hotel room with the window slightly open, allowing them to hear the city murmuring beneath them. The first paragraph describes how the partner is sleeping their usual restless sleep but hasn't been present or engaged during the day. They were mentally and emotionally absent, seemingly disconnected from their surroundings.

In the second paragraph, the singer expresses their feelings of restlessness and climbs up to the windowsill, observing the restless children of the city. They both long to disappear together with someone, seeking an escape from their current reality. However, the partner couldn't be there on that specific day, expressing a desire to be away from the singer. The repetition of "du ville væk fra mig" (you wanted to get away from me) emphasizes the partner's longing for distance.

The third paragraph reflects the singer's uncertainty about where to go when they no longer find a sense of home or belonging in their partner's eyes. The reference to their wedding anniversary, where they should have celebrated with spa treatments, suggests that the relationship is experiencing a disconnect and disappointment. Now, the singer finds themselves on the street, trying to hail a cab alone because the partner couldn't be there. The repetition of "du ku slet ik' være her idag" (you couldn't be here today) emphasizes the partner's absence and the resulting feelings of isolation.

The final paragraph encapsulates the singer's feelings of being lost without the comfort and familiarity they once found in their partner's eyes. They question where they can find a sense of home when that home is no longer with their partner. The repetition of "du ville væk fra mig" conveys the sadness and longing for a connection that is now absent, leaving the singer searching for solace and belonging in unfamiliar places.
