Der så meget jeg ikke fortæller
Annika • From “AW”
Der så meget jeg ikke fortæller Lyrics Meaning Annika | AW
Annika writes about never quite daring to give her all. She says if she shows everything she is, she becomes far more vulnerable.
De Siger Sangen Bli’r Ikk’ Go’ Foer Den Goer Ondt At Skrive NedThey say the song won’t be good until it hurts to write it down.
De Siger Den Rammer Ikk’ Nogen Foer Den Har Gjort Dig FortraedThey say it won’t move anyone until it has hurt you.
De Siger Lad Kniven Skaere Dybere Inkorporer StrygereThey say, “Let the knife cut deeper, incorporate the strings.”
Saa Hele F#cking Bandet Staar Og Graeder Vi’ Ikk’ HyklereSo the whole band stands and cries, we’re not hypocrites.
Og Hvor Ska’ Jeg Starte Jeg Ku’ Blive VedAnd where should I start? I could go on.
Hvor Meget Ka’ Jeg Snakke Foer Jeg Mister Din OpmaerksomhedHow much can I talk before I lose your attention?
Jeg Toer Aldrig Helt At Gi’ Mit AltI never quite dare to give my all.
For Jeg Vil’ Ikk’ Ku’ Komme Op Igen Hvis Jeg FaldtBecause I wouldn’t be able to get back up if I fell.
Ka’ Ikk’ Helt Luk’ Dig Ind Til MigI can’t quite let you in.
Men Det’ Saa Nemt For Du SigerBut it’s so easy, because you say.
At Det’ Okay Vi Ikk’ Er TaettereThat it’s okay we aren’t closer.
Og Det’ Saa’n Noget Der Ikk’ SkerAnd that’s something that doesn’t happen.
At Jeg Har Fundet En Der Har Plads Til DetThat I’ve found someone who has room for it.
Og Som Ikk’ Hader Mig ForAnd who doesn’t hate me for it.
At Der’ Saa Meget Jeg Ikk’ FortaellerAll the things I don’t tell.
Der’ Mange Ting Vi Aldrig Helt Faar Talt OmThere are many things we never quite talk about.
Hvis Jeg Fik Sagt Det Hele Hoejt Vil’ Jeg Nok Ikk’ Foele Mig Saa Ensom Men JegIf I said it all out loud, I probably wouldn’t feel so lonely, but I.
Ka’ Ikk’ Give Alt Jeg HarCan’t give everything I have.
For Hvis Jeg Viser Alt Hva’ Jeg Er Saa Er Jeg Langt Mere SaarbarBecause if I show all that I am, then I’m far more vulnerable.
Du Ved Slet Ikk’ Alt Der Sker I MigYou don’t know everything that happens inside me.
For Jeg Er Altid Rimelig Stille Naar Jeg Er Alene Med DigBecause I’m always pretty quiet when I’m alone with you.
Nogle Vil’ Sige Jeg Ikk’ Var AerligSome would say I wasn’t honest.
Saa Hvis Alt Det Falder Sammen Under Mig Vaer’ Der LigeSo if all of this falls apart beneath me, just be there.
Ka’ Ikk’ Helt Luk’ Dig Ind Til MigI can’t quite let you in.
Men Det’ Saa Nemt For Du SigerBut it’s so easy, because you say.
At Det’ Okay Vi Ikk’ Er TaettereThat it’s okay we aren’t closer.
Og Det’ Saa’n Noget Der Ikk’ SkerAnd that’s something that doesn’t happen.
At Jeg Har Fundet En Der Har Plads Til DetThat I’ve found someone who has room for it.
Og Som Ikk’ Hader Mig ForAnd who doesn’t hate me for it.
At Der’ Saa Meget Jeg Ikk’ FortaellerAll the things I don’t tell.
Og Det’ Slet Ikk’ Fordi Du Ikk’ Betyder NokAnd it’s certainly not because you don’t mean enough.
Du’ Faktisk Saa VaerdifuldYou’re actually so valuable.
Siger Det Ikk’ Bare Fordi Det Lyder Godt Aah-uh-waahI’m not just saying it because it sounds good.
Og Hvis Jeg Sku’ Vaelge Var Det Dig Jeg Havde ValgtAnd if I had to choose, it’s you I would’ve picked.
Du’ Den Der Altid Er DerYou’re the one who’s always there.
Og Det’ Derfor Jeg Ikk’ Behoever At Sige AltAnd that’s why I don’t need to say everything.
