That’s me right there on the corner,
Listening to Wu in my Walkman,
Neon lights at the water
Reflecting the city I’m lost in.
That’s me right there on the corner, I one day would be leaving
For a dream that I didn’t have,
That I’d one day would believe in,
Strange how the same place I ran from is the same place,
I think of whenever the chance comes,
It’s inevitable ‘cause wherever I go…
I hear echoes of a thousand screams,
As I lay me down to sleep,
There’s a black hole deep inside of me
Reminding me that I that I’ve lost my backbone
Somewhere in Stockholm,
I lost my backbone somewhere in Stockholm.
I’m from a place where we never openly show our emotions,
We drown our sorrows in bottomless bottles
and leave them to float in the ocean.
I’m from a place where we never separate people from people,
Some generalize, but in general I still believe
that we are treated as equals.
My father, my mother, my sister, my brother,
my friends and my family’s there,
My hope and my money, my innocence in a sense,
almost lost everything here.
Right where I was founded is right where I’ll be found dead,
The streets of my backbone, until I get back home.
I hear echoes of a thousand screams,
As I lay me down to sleep,
There’s a black hole deep inside of me
Reminding me that I that I’ve lost my backbone
Somewhere in Stockholm,
I lost my backbone somewhere in Stockholm.
I’m not alone,
I am the fire that burns not of the city, but out of the ‘burbs,
A river that’s just dying of thirst, I am a reverend lying in church,
A crack in the pattern, a miracle waiting to happen,
A promise that never was kept,
One of those moments you’ll never forget,
I am that feeling inside the one we all know
But can’t really describe,
I am the blood spill, but I’m in love still.
Somewhere in Stockholm, but I’m not alone,
Don’t have to get by on my own, I’m finally home.
Hemma I Stockholm där jag hör hemma.
I hear echoes of a thousand screams,
As I lay me down to sleep,
There’s a black hole deep inside of me
Reminding me that I that I’ve lost my backbone
Somewhere in Stockholm,
I lost my backbone somewhere in Stockholm.
