[Verse 1]
Down in old Örebro, where the summer nights grow long
Familiar faces changing, something feels so wrong
Dancing with strangers now, pretending all is fine
But underneath our smiles, we're drawing every line
[Chorus]
Silent borders, invisible walls
Echo through dance halls and shopping malls
We smile and wave but keep our distance still
Like partners in this dance against our will
[Verse 2]
My father's old accordion plays a different tune these days
Mixed with foreign melodies in unexpected ways
We're spinning round and round, but never getting close
Everyone's so polite, that's how this story goes
[Bridge]
Oh, this masquerade
Of tolerance we've made
But deep inside we're all afraid
Of losing what we had
[Verse 3]
Remember how it used to be, before the world rushed in
Now we're all just dancing here, wearing paper-thin grins
The old café's gone now, replaced by something new
And all the local boys just don't know what to do
[Chorus]
Silent borders, invisible walls
Echo through dance halls and shopping malls
We smile and wave but keep our distance still
Like partners in this dance against our will
[Outro]
So let's keep dancing through another night
Pretending that we're doing something right
But in our hearts, we know what's going on
The Sweden that we knew is almost gone
