@lotsandreas It's probably about political activism in the narrator's (Jocke's?) youth. The narrator and his friend travel to "the city of our dreams" (våra drömmars stad) to protest something. In the second verse, the Narrator's friend starts losing interest while the narrator remains an activist for a while longer.
The cause may some form of anarchism. A line in the last verse claims that "free will was our teenage dream" (Den fria viljan var vår tonårsdröm).
@lotsandreas The reference to Sundance Kid is somewhat unclear. The 19th century robber and an accomplice was under siege in a hotel by the Bolivian army. After a shootout shots were heard from inside the house. Both robbers had commited suicide, rather than giving themselves up. One of the robbers was severly injured and probably shot by the other one before killing himself. Maybe it's a reference to the song's narrator and his friend giving up their youth's political views.
Yes. I love their swedish lyrics, love the slightly germanic sound. But JB's intelligent poetic english lyrics surpass many for whom it's their first language. That REALLY impressed me. Listen to the english Stoppa Mi Juni Lil Ego. Heartbreaking...amongst the many, many others.
I dedicate this song to a swedish friend I had at the time called Jenny. We are no longer in touch, that´s the way life is, but everytime I listen to this song I remember the time we spend together in Spain. Wonderfull memories of a painfull time...I guess that is what life is about.
I get goosebumps every time I hear this song. It is just amazing. I just love Kent and looking forward to the new album and the tour (will be my first time seeing them live). Never cared for the english versions, though. Swedish is the most wonderful language to listen to. No need to understand all of it ;)
I missed one part of the lyrics, im sorry for this error. After "Another them against us and you" it is: Do you hear me? Do you hear me? Can you hear me? (do you hear me? do you hear me?) All of this is for you Do you hear me? Do you hear me? Can you hear me? Everything we said, everything we have done became an song for you The ambition was an slow poison You carried on for a long time but you fell atlast And me the weak one, am standing all alone a last piece of and extinguished species
Here is a very rough tranlsation of the lyrics from Swedish to English, Many kent songs has very wierd lyrics that is hard to understand even for swedish folks.. it just sounds good. Enjoy.
Do you hear me? Do you hear me? Can you hear me? (do you hear me? do you hear me?) All of this is for you Do you hear me? Do you hear me? Can you hear me? Everything we said, everything we have done became an song for you The ammonition depleated at the end Now all of you can call me the Sundance Kid The free will of an teenage dream But we are only instinct, only animals and lies
Yea I know what you mean Static... Kent is by far my favourite bands, but they are completely unheard of in New Zealand! Makes buying a hard copy of their albums a real mission, but its worth it!
Det är konstigt, jag jobbbar som pilot för Thai Airways sen 10år och alla känner igen KENT.????? TG-961.

It was a time long time ago
You and I fought against stupidity
We followed towards the city of our dreams
Wind in the hair and our sight was clear
We knew all boys courage
An dangerous weapon was our blind faith
It was once in an other life
Another them against another us and you
