Sonja Aldén Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Som jag aldrig fцrstod
Som en gеva I vackert fцrband
Еh, som en bro till min sjдl
Som betrodde dig vдl
Sе fцrtrollad jag var nдr du vann
Sе underbar du var
Var en gеta utan svar
Som jag grubblat alla dar
Men allt du blev till slut
Var en hjдlte utan mod
Som du inte ens fцrstod
Var det vдrt att se mitt hjдrtas blod
Du var fri som en vеg
I ditt hjдrta det lеg
Ingen цnskan att stilla ditt jag
Men nдr du rцrde min kind
Dе blev kдrleken blind
Och jag drunknade djupt I ditt hav
Sе underbar du var
Men allt du ville va
Var en gеta utan svar
Som jag grubblat alla dar
Men allt du blev till slut
Var en hjдlte utan mod
Som du inte ens fцrstod
Var det vдrt att se mitt hjдrtas blod
Еh, sе underbar du var
Men allt du ville va
Var en gеta utan svar
Hur blev du sе underbar
Men allt du blev till slut
Var en hjдlte utan mod
Som du inte ens fцrstod
Var det vдrt att se mitt hjдrtas blod
The lyrics to Sonja Aldén's song Hjälte utan mod speak of a loved one who was once seen as wonderful and enchanting, like a book filled with words that were never quite understood but still captivating nonetheless. The singer trusted this person so much, seeing them as a bridge to their soul. However, the mystery surrounding the person, the unanswered riddles and questions left the singer constantly pondering. In the end, the loved one was revealed to be a hero without courage, leaving the singer to wonder if the heartache and confusion were worth it.
The song is quite emotional, speaking to the pain of trusting and loving someone who is ultimately not what they appeared to be. It is a song about disappointment, heartbreak and unrequited love. The repeated line "Som en gåta utan svar" translates to "Like a riddle without an answer" which adds to the sense of confusion and frustration felt by the singer. The overall message of the song is that love can be complicated and messy, and that sometimes it's hard to know if someone is really worth the emotional investment.
