Verse 1
A lonely woman seeks a man
Reply to: The heart speaks true
A pessimist in the shape of his life
I smell blood, it smells of sorrow
An alien's thirst for love
A wonder who betrayed whom first
Prechorus 1
Eat fat and sugar until you puke
Or become a four-ton martyr
Sell yourself, sell yourself dearly
Come borrow my crown of thorns
Suffer for the art or burn
Verse 2
I fight and keep my body warm
A dream of mom's tender embrace
An alien's thirst for love
A wonder who betrayed whom first
And I'll gladly be a martyr
We probably need a new one
Prechorus 2
Sell yourself, sell yourself dearly
A middle finger to death
We walked over corpses
And flaunted our love
Our rich inner life
Chorus 1
But the tickets to heaven
Were sold out when we got there
And the price we paid
To be classified as elite
Was that we became like the others
We became like the others
We became like the others
Chorus 2
And we're not getting any further
We're back at zero
But nobody will mourn
We have played out our role
We'll forget the whole sh*t
It means nothing
We should have come further
But we fell short
Outro
We became like the others
We became like the others
We became like the others

törnekronancrown of thorns

Törnekronan translates directly to "crown of thorns." It's a powerful and evocative image with strong cultural and historical connotations, making it instantly memorable and intriguing.

In the song, the line "Kom låna törnekronan min" (Come, borrow my crown of thorns) is a metaphorical invitation to share in suffering or sacrifice. It suggests a willingness to endure hardship for a cause, perhaps for love or art, adding a layer of dramatic depth to the lyrics that will pique a learner's curiosity.

Have you ever felt like you were different, destined for something more, only to find yourself becoming just like everyone else? Kent's powerful song "Dom Andra," which translates to "The Others," explores this very idea. It paints a picture of a world filled with lonely people, cynical artists, and a desperate search for meaning. The lyrics describe a feeling of being an outsider, a defiant struggle against a boring, normal life, and the willingness to suffer or even become a martyr to avoid it.

But the song's key message is a tragic one. After all the fighting, the sacrifices, and the feeling of being special, the singer realizes the ultimate price of trying to be elite was losing their uniqueness. The powerful chorus reveals the twist:

"Och priset vi betalat För att klassas som elit Var att vi blev som dom andra"

This translates to:

"And the price we paid To be classified as elite Was that we became like the others"

It's a song about the fear of mediocrity and the sad irony that in trying so hard to be different, we can end up losing ourselves and becoming just like "the others" we once judged.
