Som ingen annan
Stiftelsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vad ska du göra med den?
Har du fått alla bilder o svar?
Vet du om att jag alltid var din vän?
Du är kall nu
O så svag
Jag håller din hand i min
Över alla som försvann
Du fann
Ett ljus som ingen annan
Jag vill tacka dig en sista gång
Du var solen, dagen o natten
Så när du stilla hör denna sång
Kom ihåg gråten o skratten
Som du gav mig
O jag dig
"När 2 blir 1" betyder nåt annat
Du vann
Över alla som försvann
Du fann
Ett ljus som ingen annan
Ett ljus som ingen annan
Du vann
Över alla som försvann
Du fann
Ett ljus som ingen annan
The song "Som ingen annan" by Stiftelsen starts off with the lyrics "En minut av ditt liv är nu kvar, Vad ska du göra med den?" which translates to "One minute of your life is now left, What will you do with it?". The singer starts off by questioning the listener about their priorities and how they plan to spend the little time they have left in their life. The lyrics then go on to speak about the singer's close relationship with the listener, with lines like "Vet du om att jag alltid var din vän?" translating to "Do you know that I was always your friend?".
The phrase "Du vann" which can be translated to "You won" is repeated several times throughout the chorus of the song. The use of this phrase can be interpreted in many ways, as the lyrics do not give a clear context as to what exactly the listener has won. However, the lines "Över alla som försvann" which translates to "Over all those who disappeared" and "Ett ljus som ingen annan" which means "A light like no other" suggest that the listener may have achieved something that others weren't able to or found a unique and special opportunity that sets them apart from others.
The song concludes with the singer expressing their gratefulness towards the listener, thanking them for the moments they shared together, both happy and sad. The last line, "När 2 blir 1" which means "When 2 becomes 1" is a reference to the Spice Girls song of the same name, but it's unclear how it is related to the rest of the song.
