Sundance Kid

i feel like this song is about how he wants to be a child again. to be back in his vyounger years where he didn't have to worry about a thing... anyways, thats what it means to me!

This song is FUNKAAAY :D Mig alskar Kent.

What a song :). I would say it is about lost friends and dreams... if I understood the translations right!

Is it just me, or isnt this song just about what the title says, Sundance Kid. Maybe there is something more read into it, but i feel its just an interpretation of the feelings going through Sundance Kid and Butch Cassidy in the end of the movie.

For some reason I come to think about those political engaged, rightist, well dressed, well to do guys in my high school when I hear these words. Neo liberal to the bone, but then they became older, and disillusioned.

The following part fits so well on some of those guys: Swe: Vi visste allt pojkars övermod Ett farligt vapen var vår blinda tro Eng: We knew everything, the presumption of boys A dangerous weapon were our blind belief

This part is about disillusionment Swe: Ambitionen var ett långsamt gift Du höll ut länge men du föll till sist Och jag den svage, jag står ensam kvar En sista rest av en utdöd art

Eng: Ambition was a posion slow You lasted long but fell at last And I, the weak, stands left alone A last reminder of a dead species

Ambition they really had and ambitious they were, like their dads. But the neo liberalism blow away in the late eighties and the friend did leave the ideology and the main person is left alone with beliefs he don't belive in anymore.

And this last part is what probably did convince me in my interpretation that it was about those other neo liberals, the free will as a teenage dream.

Swe: Ammunition tog slut till sist Nu kan ni kalla mig the Sundance Kid Den fria viljan var vår tonårsdröm Men vi är bara instinkt, bara djur och allt är lögn

Eng: The ammunition did run out at last Now you can call me Sundance kid The free will was our teenage dream But we are just instinct, just animals, and everything is lies

He did fight it out until he was convinced he was wrong, the free will isn't as strong as he thought.

Of course, this could apply to religious people too, but this was my (not The) meaning to the text.

I think it's about a relationship that went out wrong. he was too weak, too afraid....

and I think the line "vi visste allt pojkars övermod" is supposed to be translated as: "well, we knew the presumption of boys" instead.

And if you want the translation to the first verse:

Det var en gång för så länge sen Du och jag slogs mot dumheten Vi följdes åt till våra drömmars stad Vind i håret och vår sikt låg klar

Once upon a time, so long time ago You and me were fighting against stupidity We went together to the city of our dreams Wind in the hair and our view lay clear

And this part:

Hör du mig? Hör du mig? Kan du höra mig? Allt det här är för dig Hör du mig? Hör du mig? Kan du höra mig? Allt vi sagt, allt vi gjort blev en sång för dig

Do you hear me? Do you hear me? Can you hear me? All of this is for you Do you hear me? Do you hear me? Can you hear me? Everything we've said, everything we've done became a song for you

:'/

Where can I download this song?? anybody can help me? cus i got Ares but it doesnt appear =( so i cant download it I'll thank any help!

It is about growing old, about the old jaded Joakim Berg trying to reach out to his young alter ego. They begin as one and the same but ambition, pride, arrogance and blind faith kills his younger self. The older one is left without any "ammunition" (inspiration) like sundance kid in the movie.

Im so glad my dad introduced me to Kent, being norwegian i dont understand everything they say, but man the lyrics are good. Probably always going to be my favourite band. Kinda wish i was born in the 80s~90s so i could see one of their concerts from the early 2000s :( Glad im able to experience music like this anyway, what a musically genius band.
