Folk Forsvinder Meaning & Lyrics (Chris Burton)
Chris Burton sings that real friends become strangers in a minute. He also sings it is hard to reach each other without effort. The lyrics describe a quiet guilt that builds with each missed call.
Kan Jeg Komme Over I LejlighedenCan I come by your apartment?
Vi Ka’ Logge Ind På Unibet Og Gamble Vores Penge VækWe can log into Unibet and gamble our money away,
For Jeg Tror Jeg Savner Lidt At Spilde Min Tid Med Dig‘Cause I think I kinda miss wasting my time with you.
Tage I Byen For Det Er Længe SidenHead into town, ’cause it’s been a long time,
Jeg Har Drukket Mig Ned Med Dig Og Dine Promoter VennerSince I’ve gotten drunk with you and your promoter friends,
Høre Hvordan Det Går For TidenJust to hear how things are going these days.
For Dagene Går Bare Og Folk Forsvinder‘Cause the days just pass and people fade away,
Hvert Et Moment Slipper Ud Af Mine HænderEvery single moment slips right through my hands,
Og Rigtige Venner Bliver Fremmede Mennesker På Et MinutAnd real friends turn into strangers in a minute.
Vi Burde Drikke Lidt Vin Du Ku’ Komme Over Til MiddagWe should drink some wine, you could come over for dinner,
Men Det’ Svært At Nå Hinanden Uden En IndsatsBut it’s hard to reach each other without any effort,
Lukker Mig Inde Og Ser Folk Forsvinder På Et MinutI lock myself away and watch people fade in a minute.
Vi Ku’ Mødes Til Et ArrangementWe could meet up at some event,
Hvor Vi Ikke Ved Hvad Vi Fejre Men Der Er Drinks Oppe I BarenWhere we don’t know what we’re celebrating, but there are drinks at the bar,
Og Så Er Jeg Da I Et Rum Med DigAnd then at least I’m in the same room as you,
Det Nok Godt Til MigThat’s probably good enough for me.
Og Vi Ku’ Snakke Lidt Lort Om FolkAnd we could talk a little trash about people,
Dårlig Smag Inde I Munden Blandes Med Det Vi Har Drukket Men Så Der Noget Vi Er Fælles OmA bad taste in my mouth mixes with our drinks, but at least it’s something we share.
Dagene Går Bare Og Folk Forsvinder‘Cause the days just pass and people fade away,
Hvert Et Moment Slipper Ud Af Mine HænderEvery single moment slips right through my hands,
Og Rigtige Venner Bli’r Fremmede Mennesker På Et MinutAnd real friends turn into strangers in a minute.
Vi Burde Drikke Lidt Vin Du Ku’ Komme Over Til MiddagWe should drink some wine, you could come over for dinner,
Men Det’ Svært At Nå Hinanden Uden En IndsatsBut it’s hard to reach each other without any effort,
Lukker Mig Inde Og Ser Folk Forsvinder På Et MinutI lock myself away and watch people fade in a minute.
Har Dig I Hovedet Men Gør Aldrig NogetI’ve got you in my head, but I never do anything about it,
Ser På De Ting Jeg Ikke Passer PåLooking at the things I’m not taking care of.
Vågner Først NuOnly waking up now,
For Jeg Gik Troede Det Var Dig Og Mig‘Cause I walked around thinking it was you and me.
Ja Jeg Har Dig I Hovedet Men Gør Aldrig NogetYeah, I’ve got you in my head, but I never do anything about it.
Ignorere Dit Ansigt Under Mine ØjneIgnoring your face right before my eyes,
Vågner Først NuOnly waking up now,
For Jeg Gik Troede Det Var Dig Og Mig‘Cause I walked around thinking it was you and me.
Jeg Har Hørt At Du Har Det SværtI’ve heard that you’re having a hard time,
At Du Er Startet På Piller Men Du Ved Ik’ Om De VirkerThat you’ve started taking pills, but you don’t know if they work,
Og Jeg Ved Du Nok Har Brug For Mig For Jeg Kender DigAnd I know you probably need me, ’cause I know you,
Men Jeg Er I Krig Med SamvittighedenBut I’m at war with my conscience.
For Jeg Burde Ringe Op Og Høre Om Du Har Det Godt‘Cause I should call you up and hear if you’re doing okay,
Men Jeg Orker Det Ikke FortidenBut I just don’t have the energy these days.
