This is a sad lovesong to Sweden, a melancholic nationalhymn if you like. Like in many of Kents lyrics there is not a specific "opinion" like niamh seems to belive but more like poetic thoughts. He describes the mentality of swedes but also the emptiness we all feel inside. Its just a very emotional song that can not be explained with logic. And the word "lagom" is actually a very good word to descibe the mentality of swedes, "not to much, not to little", "not good, not bad" but something in between, like a golden middle-path.
