"You changed into somebody for whom I wouldn't mind to put the kettle on."
Does that imply that the person changed into someone whom the singer can spend his/her entire life with? Or does it mean the opposite: that the person being mentioned has turned into more of a stranger or at least nothing but a friendly acquaintance that the singer merely welcomes into his/her house in order to be polite?
This song always leaves me speachless. For a minute or so, I just stare at a wall thinking "I'm never ever in my life going to stop loving this" It's...Epic in all ways possible!
@stiflermr it's a very colloquial expression we use in England to make someone feel welcome...." come in, I'll put the kettle on" literally means that I'll make us both a cup of tea, and then we can have a chat. Remember, these guys spent a lot of time living in the UK, so of course, picked up on plenty of our colloquiums. It is therefore a very good thing to say to someone.
Well, okay she has changed. But its pretty sad, it just shows he doesn't have any feelings for her anymore. And, saying he doesn't know what he can save her from is basically telling her he can't be anything important to her anymore, or anything other than that.
this song is really as you've said, pure beauty...but what is he trying to say with this:"You changed into somebody for whom I wouldn't mind to put the kettle on..." ???
@DichaLimao aha, thanks. I asked because it is an essential sentence to understand the situation. I'm glad it means this, that three years didn't really change his feelings.
blaa94 actually DIDN'T want to listen to the Röyksopp-remix... That's the point. But the remix is everywhere, and this original was hard to find. Get it?
Yes, I now see that I thought she wrote "IF I could only find...". Thanks.
But what I don't get is the fact that I got 7 thumbs down for trying to help someone. Well, but that's just what the world is: Full of stupid a*holes.
That soothing voice is like a warm cup of tea, a perfect way to unwind after a stressful day.

It's a fantastic song. I do prefer Röyksopp's remix though, I feel the music has more heart and better matches the lyrics in their version.
Both versions are great in their own way though :)

Maybe you couldn't find it cause you spelled it wrong. I think you mean the Röyksopp remix.
Sry if you haven't got Ö on your keyboard. :P
