Fever Ray - When I Grow Up Lyrics






When I grow up
I want to be a forester
Run through the moss on high heels
That's what I'll do
Throwing out a boomerang
Waiting for it to come back to me

When I grow up
I want to live near the sea
Crab claws and bottles of rum
That's what I'll have
Staring at a seashell
Waiting for it to embrace me

I put my soul into what I do
Last night I drew a funny man
With dog eyes and a hanging tongue
It goes way back
I never like that sad look
From someone who wants to be loved by you

I'm very good with plants
When my friends are away
They let me keep the soil moist
On the seventh day I rest
For a minute or two
Then back on my feet to call for you

You've got cucumbers on your eyes
Too much time spent on nothing
Waiting for a moment to arise
The face in the ceiling
And arms too long
I'm waiting for him to catch me

Waiting for it to embrace me oh

    I saw Fever Ray in concert almost exactly ten years ago. I love that memory. Worked so hard to finish my Medieval Philosophy paper so I could go. Shoutout to Renee & Katrina: That time I was gone so long to the bathroom is because I'd hidden a 40z of beer in the alley.

    This is our society. First we are full of dreams, standing in front of a pool full of things we could do in our life. Then life, society and world pulls us back until we are in behind a window doing nothing, waiting to die and watching people full of dreams, standing in front of a pool full of things they could do in our life.

  52. S.... A....

    Hits home doesnt it? Yeah.

  53. B.... F....

    I remember my first beer

    *Xer sexuality confuses me. Xhe looks like a normal girl on the outside. But, why care? I love xer weird music anyway. It's a good break from the usual music genres.*

  55. C.... D....

    Shaman girl in modern times.

  56. N.... ....

    I wish the 2nd Fever Ray album was different in the way this was different. Instead we got an extension of the last The Knife album. I wasn't listening to Fever Ray to hear The Knife's last album. Don't get me wrong, it's a unique album, I'm a fan... but.... Oh well...

  57. B.... C....

    My favourite album of maybe the last 15 years

  58. H.... A....

    She said: I put my soul into what I do
    Last night I drew a funny man
    With dog eyes and a hanging tongue
    It goes way back
    I never like that sad look
    From someone who wants to be loved by you.


    meaning: she drew an ugly man put her soul in it and now the ugly man came alive but its so sad cos whom he desires would not love him in returns because he is ugly. {so pathetic}

  84. M.... o....

    When are you going to do some crossover songs with Trent Reznor, or Rammstein?

  85. J.... K....

    We’re the “girl” with an inclination for things that are larger than ourselves but will always remain an outsider. The “man” are all the people who don’t get us (or this song). Rigid insider who prefers to stay in the sterile comfort zone.

    J.... K....

    A cartoon. This is bumper sticker. Let me tell you how your brain resembles...say...a KKK member. Their thinking is binary. all things zero or one. Evidently subtleness of thought is beyond you and defining things using wide brushes is all you can handle.
    I see you fancy yourself "Evolved" (like the bumper sticker on cars driven by college freshman who have determined that merely entering college now gives them the gravitas to remake the world)….but I assure you....you aren't.

    J.... K....

    @George Reynolds Oh I'm not implying that I'm an "evolved" being. I'm just interpreting the video based on the fact that the way it's delivered, it made viewers take the side of the girl, while the old guy is made to be seen as the other. I get how using the word "us" does give that impression haha

  86. R.... R....

    A ligação entre o Fever Ray e o Royksopp deve ser essa cantora. Eu acho que ela aparece no vídeo do Royksopp ' what else is there '
