Discover the story of the song > The Swing Of Things – A Ha

The protagonist feels overwhelmed by all the news and events happening in the world. His partner tells him that he should care and speak up, but he finds it difficult to do so because he feels so emotional. He wonders if it's too late to change or if there's still time to adapt and get involved. He imagines walking through a quiet city until winter comes and he can rest. He can't sleep because he's thinking about his partner's voice and missing her. He wonders if he's losing control or if he can still find his way. He sees his partner glowing in the dark and feels weak because of her beauty. He knows he needs her in his life. He reflects on the lies he has told and the games he has played with those who have helped him. He wonders again if he's losing control or if he can still find his way.
