[Intro]
Silent calls, daddy's rage in my phone
Swedish roots that I turned to stone
Paper mill grind, that's where I came from
Now I'm too far gone, too numb
[Verse 1]
F*ck what they think, I ain't their golden child
Turned my culture to a f*cking wild ride
Swedish Fish got them clutching pearls
While I'm swimming deep in this new world
Parents' pride turned to shame overnight
Their son's the one who brought darkness to light
Mill town dreams up in flames
Now they won't even speak my name
[Chorus]
They can't reach me, they can't breach me
Burned the bridges, yeah I'm free now
But this freedom's got me freezing
Lonely nights got me believing
That success tastes like Swedish Fish
But it's bitter when you lose your shit
When you lose your shit
[Verse 2]
Only Mira's texts light up my phone
"You good?" she asks, I lie "I'm grown"
Daddy's voicemail playing on loop
"Du är inte min son" - that's the truth
Industrial beats match my heartbeat
Working class war, I admit defeat
But I won't back down from who I am
Even if I'm the black sheep of the fam
[Chorus]
They can't reach me, they can't breach me
Burned the bridges, yeah I'm free now
But this freedom's got me freezing
Lonely nights got me believing
That success tastes like Swedish Fish
But it's bitter when you lose your shit
When you lose your shit
[Outro]
Paper mill sounds fade to static
Family ties turn dramatic
Swedish Fish swimming upstream
Caught between reality and dreams
