Verse 1

Come back, I regret everything I did

Everything I said, it's not your fault

It's me, of course I get that

Come back, I promise and I swear

On my mother's grave, I can be all of that

You wanted, I'll fix that

Chorus 1

I know I'm an idiot

And the whole town knows what I've done

Oh, I deserve how I feel

Come pour more salt in my wounds

Verse 2

You're happy, I've seen that now on your

Status update and all the pictures from

Some bar, you seem happy there

We see each other in town, I wonder if we should

Grab coffee some day, you say absolutely

That sounds good, but you're doing fine

Chorus 2

I know I'm an idiot

And the whole town knows what I've done

Oh, I deserve how I feel

Come pour more salt in my wounds

Chorus 3

I know I'm an idiot

And the whole town knows what I've done

Oh, I deserve how I feel

Two buckets of salt in my wounds

Bridge

All the sh*t I've done, I just wanted to

You know I've tried to explain

All the sh*t I said came back to me

How f*cking stupid can you be

Chorus 4

I know I'm an idiot

And the whole town knows what I've done

Oh, I deserve how I feel

Come pour more salt in my wounds

Chorus 5

I know I'm an idiot

And the whole town knows what I've done

Oh, I deserve how I feel

Two buckets of salt in my wounds

sår — wounds

Sår means 'wounds' or 'sores'. While it can be a literal term, it's often used metaphorically in Swedish, much like in English, to describe emotional pain or hurt.

In this song, the artist repeatedly uses the powerful idiom "häll mer salt i mina sår" (pour more salt in my wounds). This vivid imagery perfectly captures the feeling of self-pity and regret, making sår a memorable and emotionally resonant word that stands out in the lyrics.

Ever done something you instantly regretted? Welcome to the club! In "Jag Är En Idiot," which literally means "I Am An Idiot," Swedish artist Ludwig Bell sings a heartfelt apology to someone he's lost. He knows he messed up badly, and it seems like the entire town knows what he did, too. The song is a classic tale of post-breakup regret, where he's begging for a second chance and promising to change his ways.

He feels so guilty that he says he deserves all the pain he's feeling, even asking his ex to "pour more salt in my wounds." While he's miserable and full of regret, he sees on social media that she seems perfectly happy without him. It's a raw, honest, and slightly humorous look at feeling like a complete fool after losing someone you love because of your own mistakes.
