Hela Gråbo e sån ångest
Steget Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jag skulle aldrig klara av det tycker hon
Att hon vill bo här men för mig gör det för ont
Men inte hennes utan våran fritidsgård
Den låg här precis
Så att bussen kör förbi den just nu
Det borde vara nostalgi
Men det blev aldrig så
För oss
Men som som igår
Diskonatt i vår gula bygdegård
Kan man hålla det för första gången
Trots att ingen fick dansa med dig
Jag minns Pärs armar runt om mig
Vid den sista tryckaren
Och mitt hjärta slog hårt och snabbt
Det borde vara nostalgi
Borde vara som kärlek
Men det blev aldrig så
För oss
Det borde vara nostalgi
Borde vara som kärlek
Men det blev aldrig så
För oss
(Hela Gråbo e sån ångest
Hela Gråbo e sån ångest)
The song "Hela Gråbo E Sån ångest" by Steget speaks of the mixed emotions the artist experiences upon their sister returning to their hometown after having left. The artist's sister seems to believe that her return will bring joy and happiness to her sibling, but the artist knows that her presence brings about pain due to the shared memories they have of a now-closed youth club. The youth club was once a place of fondness for both the artist and their sister, but the memories of the past are now tinged with melancholy. The fact that the bus route passes by the youth club only intensifies the heartache.
The song then takes on a nostalgic turn when the artist recalls memories of a disco night held at the yellow community center. The event was marked with a bittersweet memory as the artist remembers dancing with someone they had strong feelings for but were unable to be with. Despite the negative experience, the artist remembers the event fondly and with an intense rush of emotions that only a trip down memory lane can bring.
The lyrics of the song paint a picture of a town that once held many beloved memories that are now impossible to relive. The yearning for a past that can never be again and the desire to move forward are themes that run parallel throughout the song.

Min syster har flyttat tillbaka
My sister has moved back
Jag skulle aldrig klara av det tycker hon
She thinks I wouldn't be able to handle it
Att hon vill bo här men för mig gör det för ont
She wants to live here, but it hurts me too much
Men inte hennes utan våran fritidsgård
Not hers, but our youth center
Den låg här precis
It used to be right here
Så att bussen kör förbi den just nu
So the bus passes by it now
Det borde vara nostalgi
It should be nostalgia
Borde vara som kärlek
Should be like love
Men det blev aldrig så
But it never became that
För oss
For us
Men som som igår
But like yesterday
Diskonatt i vår gula bygdegård
Disco night in our yellow community center
Kan man hålla det för första gången
You can have it for the first time
Trots att ingen fick dansa med dig
Even though no one got to dance with you
Jag minns Pärs armar runt om mig
I remember Pär's arms around me
Vid den sista tryckaren
At the last song
Och mitt hjärta slog hårt och snabbt
And my heart was beating fast
Det borde vara nostalgi
It should be nostalgia
Borde vara som kärlek
Should be like love
Men det blev aldrig så
But it never became that
För oss
For us
