The only possibly conclusion: when she met the man everything turned worse. Instead of being a song of happiness and the end of loneliness, the song is chased by overwhelming sadness. Translation: "But something is not right. Rädsla, instängdhet, misshandel - vi vet inte vad det rör sig om, men livsläget blir om möjligt än mer outhärdligt." Den enda slutsats som gÃ¥r att dra blir därför: När hon träffat mannen blev allt ännu värre. I stället för att vara en glädjeÂsÃ¥ng om avslutad ensamhet sÃ¥ drivs lÃ¥ten framÃ¥t av ett överväldigande vemod. Some years ago, Benny actually had a similar interpretation of the song in an interview: dn.se/kultur-noje/musik/med-vemodet-som-standig-foljeslagare/ In the video she also looks sad when she is with 'him' (apart from the beginning when they start flirting on the train, but that was before she knew him). She is walking around among people who don't care, or don't know. In the video - at 3.03 when Agnetha steps out on the scene all alone and nobody else is even looking at her, the protagonist (which is not Agnetha herself, I don't think this has anything to do with her personal life or with ABBA for the matter) feels all alone. And after all, her life was no good 'before' either. Something has gone terribly wrong, but the protagonist is trying to convince herself that things are not that bad. It's sung in such a sad way, I cannot believe this describes a happy relationship. General CommentEver since I heard this song and saw the video for the first time in 1982, I have had a theory that it is about an abusive relationship. I must have yawned and cuddled up for yet another nightĪnd rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain It's funny, but I had no sense of living without aim The latest one by Marilyn French or something in that style I need a lot of sleep, and so I like to be in bed by then I must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten There's not, I think, a single episode of Dallas that I didn't see
The day before you came tv#
I'm sure I had my dinner watching something on TV Must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or soĪnd stopped along the way to buy some Chinese food to go Oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame Undoubtedly I must have read the evening paper then Without really knowing anything, I hid a part of me awayĪt five I must have left, there's no exception to the ruleĪ matter of routine, I've done it ever since I finished school I must have kept on dragging through the business of the day I must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past twoĪnd at the time I never even noticed I was blue I must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or soĪnd still on top of this I'm pretty sure it must have rained With letters to be read, and heaps of papers waiting to be signed
I must have made my desk around a quarter after nine I must have read the morning paper going into townĪnd having gotten through the editorial, no doubt I must have frowned My train, I'm certain, left the station just when it was due Must have left my house at eight, because I always do
