about
Arvid: Just as the song title suggests, this song started in a dream I had one night after a particularly busy day. I often dream of music when I sleep, but I always tend to forget all the melodies when I wake up. This morning I surprisingly remembered how the melody sounded and the basic idea of the guitar that was played in a dark green forest. The title "Drömmen" literally means “the dream," and the song reflects on certain kinds of dreams. The ones we had for our future, but never realized. The ones that for one reason or another stayed hidden in the drawer, but we never really let go of. Those dreams that jump up out of nowhere again and again, to challenge your current direction in life. The ones that just keep piling up if ignored for too long, and eventually come crashing down upon you like rain in the forest. Some of my dreams can turn out to be someone else’s dream or an idealized image that I unconsciously have collected and carried around. If I knew how, I would let go of those. In this song, the forest became the symbol of the place where you can find both your own path and be enveloped in a larger context.
lyrics
ENGLISH TRANSLATION
If you dream
Then I am dreaming
We could almost climb above the clouds
If you'll forget again
I'll forget myself
Let us change it all around
Letting go of everything
Just one breath
See how our words become seeds in the wind
Burning like the forest
Awoken by your hand
Let us change it all around
In the morning, lonely
No one has seen me yet
Thousands all around me
On their telephones
Take another pill
Happiness within reach
Another glass to fill
The question I was born with
Outside the night is silent
See a truth flowing through
The dream is alive
Don't want to flee, I want to fly
All that we have gathered
All that we never talked about
Will fall down upon us
Like rain on the forest
If you dream
Then I am dreaming
We could almost climb above the clouds
If you'll forget again
I'll forget myself
Let us change it all around
Letting go of everything
Just one breath
See how our words become seeds in the wind
Burning like the forest
Awoken by your hand
Let us change it all around
In the morning, lonely
No one has seen me yet
Thousands all around me
On their telephones
Take another pill
Happiness within reach
Another glass to fill
The question I was born with
Outside the night is silent
See a truth flowing through
The dream is alive
Don't want to flee, I want to fly
All that we have gathered
All that we never talked about
Will fall down upon us
Like rain on the forest
