Sweden: The lyrics of the songs competing at the Fourth Semi-Final of Melodifestivalen 2022!

Melodifestivalen 2022, your favourite Swedish national selection process, has left the Avicii Arena and from this week and on moves to Friends Arena, in Stockholm, for the rest of the three shows.

A while ago, SVT, the Swedish national broadcaster released the lyrics of all seven competing songs, of the fourth semi-final, the last bunch of songs that will be competing this year, in the hopes of representing Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest in Turin.

You can read the lyrics of the fourth semi-final songs below:

  • Anna Bergendahl – Higher Power (Writers: Anna Bergendahl, Thomas G:son, Bobby Ljunggren, Erik Bernholm )

I was alone

I was a starving eremite without a home

And the sand in the hourglass pouring on

A howling wolf without a pack

Little did I know

There was a seed

And with some water and attention it would lead

Into a leaf turning into a tree

Roots spreading through the darkest woods

Little did I know

I didn’t know

I see a higher power rise

A spirit larger than life

Cutting right through the fire

Turning the wind

Right before my eyes

I see a higher power rise

A spirit larger than life

Digging right through the dirt

Releasing the dam

And so, I arise

On my own

Kept walking through the wilderness ’til I had grown

Into a thousand-year-old oak, give me a throne

And I’ll wear the crown of thorns

Little did I know

I didn’t know

I see a higher power rise

A spirit larger than life

Cutting right through the fire

Turning the wind

Right before my eyes

I see a higher power rise

A spirit larger than life

Digging right through the dirt

Releasing the dam

And so, I arise

And so, I arise

Oh, I didn’t know

And so, I arise

Oh, I didn’t know

I see a higher power rise

A spirit larger than life

Cutting right through the fire

Turning the wind

Right before my eyes

I see a higher power rise

A spirit larger than life

Digging right through the dirt

Releasing the dam

And so, I arise

And so, I arise

 

  • Lillasyster – Till Our Days Are Over (Writers: Jimmy Jansson, Palle Hammarlund, Ian-Paolo Lira, Martin Westerstrand )

If I were a hero for one day

Maybe I’d walk another way

Fighting against the odds and break

Thru the bricks in the wall

Cause I wanna take you home

Been loosing ourselves too long

Somebody prove me wrong

I won’t let go

I’m right here with open arms

Nothing can break my iron heart

I would climb any mountain

I would fight any fire

Scream loud, breaking the silence now

Till our days are over

I would climb any mountain

Stand tall, big as a giant

I would find a way somehow

Till our days are over

If I were a hero for one day

I wouldn’t be scared and run away

Open the streets and raise the gates

I would break thru it all

And I’m gonna take you home

Been loosing ourselves too long

Somebody prove me wrong

I would climb any mountain

I would fight any fire

Scream loud, breaking the silence now

Till our days are over

I would climb any mountain

Stand tall, big as a giant

I would find a way somehow

Till our days are over

I’ll never fail you

Be right beside you

I’ll never walk away

I would climb any mountain

Stand tall, big as a giant

I would find a way somehow

Till our days are over

I would climb any mountain

I would fight any fire

Scream loud, breaking the silence now

Till our days are over

Till our days are over

Till our days are over

I’ll be breaking the silence now

Till our days are over

 

  • Malin Christin  – Synd om dig (Writers:  Jonathan Lavotha, Oliver Heinänen, Malin Christin )

Jag kommer aldrig få ett förlåt

För varje gång jag fällt en tår

Jag kommer aldrig nånsin be dig

För jag tror inte att du förstår

Tror inte du förmår

Och din skugga, den kommer förfölja dig

Aldrig nånsin försvinna, bara dölja sig

Så det är inte synd om mig, nej för det är synd om dig

Det är inte synd om mig, nej för det är synd om dig

För du saknar empati

kan inte känna som vi

du har ett tomrum inuti

Det är inte synd om mig, nej för det är synd om dig

Har velat såra dig så hårt

Men dom sa: sjunk inte ner till hans nivå

Men du är mil långt under marken

Och aldrig kommer jag ifatt dig

Inte ens om tusen år

Och din skugga, den kommer att släppa mig

Men för alltid så kommer den följa dig

Så det är inte synd om mig, nej för det är synd om dig

Det är inte synd om mig, nej för det är synd om dig

För du saknar empati

kan inte känna som vi

du har ett tomrum inuti

Det är inte synd om mig, nej för det är synd om dig

Det är inte synd om mig

Det är inte synd om mig

Det är inte synd om mig

Ja, det är synd om dig

Jag kommer aldrig få ett förlåt

Men det är jag som står rakryggad ändå

 

  • Tenori – La Stella (Writers: Dan Sundquist, Kristian Lagerström, Marcos Ubeda, Bobby Ljunggren, Sarah Börjesson Wassberg )

Per te la mia stella splenderà

La speranza vincerà

Stuck in the dark

I was a shell of myself

All of my dreams in a blur

In a room full of doubt

The sound was gone

Then I looked to the sky

I knew

I could see the end of the road

Letting me out

Per te la mia stella splenderà

La speranza vincerà

Già il sogno vive più che mai

Lo seguirò

Per sempre volerò

Con te nel cielo blu

Now that I know

How can I turn away

If there’s a way to resist

It´s a will-o´-the-wisp

I was played for a fool

But they won’t trick me twice

Since you made my dreams come alive

Letting me out

Per te la mia stella splenderà

La speranza vincerà

Già il sogno vive più che mai

Lo seguirò

Per sempre volerò

Con te nel cielo blu

I hit the ground

With all that doubt

But you were there

And taught my dreams to fly high

Per te la mia stella splenderà

La speranza vincerà

Già il sogno vive più che mai

Lo seguirò

Per sempre volerò

Con te nel cielo blu

We rise like a dream

My life is in your hands

La stella sarà

con te

 

  • MEDINA – In i dimman (Writers: Jimmy “Joker” Thörnfeldt, Sami Rekik, Dino Medanhodzic, Ali Jammali )

Min kära lille

Har du gått vilse

För denna vägen leder inte någonstans

Mamma sa till mig

Gör guld av silver

Sen lever vi som inte morgondagen fanns

Nu ska vi dansa tills vi dör

Sjunga för allt som vi förstört

La bella noche

När vi når botten

Så ska vi resa oss igen

In i dimman dimman ja nu ska vi leva

Vi ska leva som ej morgondagen finns

Nu ska hela världen äntligen få veta

Att vi ska hela hela hela vägen in

La dolce vita

Så många tårar

Som jag sparat under stjärnorna i natt

Och mamma sa till mig

Det kommer ordna sig

Så länge du lever som inte morgondagen fanns

Nu ska vi dansa tills vi dör

Sjunga för allt som vi förstört

La bella noche

När vi når botten

Så ska vi resa oss igen

In i dimman dimman ja nu ska vi leva

Vi ska leva som ej morgondagen finns

Nu ska hela världen äntligen få veta

Att vi ska hela hela hela vägen in

Nu ska vi dansa tills vi dör

Sjunga för allt som vi förstört

La bella noche

När vi når botten

Så ska vi resa oss igen

In i dimman dimman ja nu ska vi leva

Vi ska leva som ej morgondagen finns

Nu ska hela världen äntligen få veta

Att vi ska hela hela hela vägen in

Oh oh-oh oh-oh oh-oh

Att vi ska hela hela hela vägen in

  • Angelino  – The End (Writers: Angelino Markenhorn, Julie Aagaard, Melanie Wehbe, Thomas Stengaard )

Oh

Oh

This could be the end

You could drop a pin

Suffocating silence

We’ve been here before

I’m outside the door

You’re in the bathroom crying

You say that

I’m so unaffected

I act so cool

and so collected

Oh

Hear me out

Before you go

I need you to know

You’ve got your doubts

I got my own

But trust me I am

Not that unaffected

You’re mistaken

If this is it

You need to know

My heart’s stuck on you

Lying skin to skin

Do you feel a thing

Tell me what you’re thinking

Cause I don’t understand

What’s your exit plan

Cause I’m hurting within

You say that

I’m so unaffected

I’m not that cool

and so collected

Oh

Hear me out

Before you go

I need you to know

You’ve got your doubts

I got my own

But trust me I am

Not that unaffected

You’re mistaken

If this is it

You need to know

My heart’s stuck on

You

You

If it’s the end

I need to know

You

So hear me out

Before you go

I need you to know

You’ve got your doubts

I got my own

But trust me I am

Not that unaffected

You’re mistaken

If this is it

You need to know

My heart’s stuck on

You

 

  • Klara Hammarström – Run To The Hills (Writers: Jimmy “Joker” Thörnfeldt, Julie Aagaard, Anderz Wrethov, Klara Hammarström)

They say I

Been running from myself

But they don’t understand

Coz the pain of you

Is in my every cell

And it’s pumping through my veins

And I feel it through my body like fire tonight

And it pulls me in

I’m howling at the moonlight

And I

Run—to the hills

I’m making it on my own

I’m facing my demons, here I go

I’m running, I’m running alone

To the hills

Where the brokenhearted go

I’m running to save my haunted soul

Run to the hills

Run—to the hills

I’m making it on my own

I’m facing my demons, here I go

Run to the hills

They say you

Won’t flee a broken heart

The nights move in on you

But they have never

Raced under the stars

The flight will see me through

And I feel it through my body like fire tonight

And it pulls me in

I’m howling at the moonlight

And I

Run—to the hills

I’m making it on my own

I’m facing my demons, here I go

I’m running, I’m running alone

To the hills

Where the brokenhearted go

I’m running to save my haunted soul

I run to the hills

Run—to the hills

I’m making it on my own

I’m facing my demons, here I go

I’m running, I’m running alone

To the hills

Where the brokenhearted go

I’m running to save my haunted soul

Run to the hills

And it pulls me in

I’m howling at the moonlight

And I

Run—to the hills

I’m making it on my own

I’m facing my demons here I go

I’m running, I’m running alone

To the hills

Where the brokenhearted go

I’m running to save my haunted soul

I run to the hills

Run—to the hills

I’m making it on my own

I’m facing my demons here I go

I’m running, I’m running alone

To the hills

Where the brokenhearted go

I’m running to save my haunted soul

Run to the hills
