🎤 Lyrics:
It's a bad bad world
For a broken girl
She tried to leave this place
Many times
But we shook hands in blood
I made a promise, love
I'll meet you there that day when it's time
Go put your best dress on for one last night
I hear them calling on the other side
Come hold me tight
Oh can you see the light
You're my pink dressed ballerina
There's high cliffs in Pasadena
If you long for Nangilima
And you ever wanna leave
I would never go without you
But If you feel this world is way blue
I'll consider checking out too
If you ever wanna leave
Say Nangilima
Nangilima
You've been through enough
But I can't live without you
So if you say the word
Say it's time
Yeah it's time
Yeah it's time
Yeah it's time
Go put your best dress on for one last night
I hear them calling on the other side
Come hold me tight
Oh can you see the light
You're my pink dressed ballerina
There's high cliffs in Pasadena
If you long for Nangilima
And you ever wanna leave
I would never go without you
But if you feel this world is way blue
I'll consider checking out too
If you ever wanna leave
Say Nangilima
Nangilima
Nangilima
Nangilima
Got to tell me if you plan to leave
It's not living if you're not with me
Got to tell me if you plan to leave
It's not living, it's not living
Got to tell me if you plan to leave
It's not living if you're not with me
Got to tell me if you plan to leave
It's not living, it's not living
Your my pink dressed ballerina
There's high cliffs in Pasadena
If you long for Nangilima
And you ever wanna leave
I would never go without you
But if you feel this world is way blue
I'll consider checking out too
If you ever wanna leave
Say Nangilima
Nangilima
Say Nangilima
Nangilima
Nangilima
Nangilima
Nangilima
If you ever wanna leave
It's not living if you're not with me

[@diverboy70]

Nangilima is the place you go when you die in a Swedish childrens book by Astrid Lindgren, gives the song a dark undertone. But a beautiful song!

[@My2Cents1]

More specifically, it's from the story "The Brothers Lionheart". It's a story about two brothers and they go to the afterlife land of Nangiyala, where an epic adventure awaits. A cruel warlord name Tengil rules the land with an ironfist by commanding a dragon to do his bidding. All stand helpless before Tengil and his dragon, until the Lionheart brothers arrive and organize an underground resistence movement. SPOILER ALERT: The book ends with how the final battle is won, but the brothers are mortally wounded from the battle with the dragon... and they both die again. This time they go to land of Nangilima. One could argue that Nangiyala was a sort of purgatory, a place of pain and fear that you had to go through to prove your mettle, and Nangilima was the real Heaven where bliss and happiness reigns supreme.

[@funkerowlingallende]

@@My2Cents1 What really strikes me is that the song kind of implies that they are already in "Nangijala", meaning they are already dead (metaphorically, obviously) and in this dreadful place of pain and fear, as you called it. Because Nagilima is the place you go to when you die a second time, this time in the first place of afterlife. I really thought a lot about why the song is not called Nangijala, because it seems purposely and meaningful. It being the actual place of peace really makes sense, but what it says about where they currently are is also impactful for me.

[@leniwiecwswiecie2945]

This is one of the happier songs about death. Something beautiful.

[@aekelly]

So what do the lyrics mean? Are they as dark as I'm taking them to be? 🙄

[@klurigswe]

@@aekelly yep. Nangilima is an afterlife world from beloved Swedish childrens book author Astrid Lindgrens book Bröderna Lejonhjärta (Brothers Lionheart). In the book the two brothers have an incredible bond. The younger brother is terminally ill and his big brother cheers him up with tales of the paradise afterlife land Nangijala. A fire causes them to have to jump out the window of their home, the big brother dies from the fall. A while after the younger brother dies from is illness. They meet up in Nangijala only to find the world devastated by war from the evil oppressor Tengil. After defeating Tengil, due to the terrible wounds the big brother had suffered, they decide to move on to the true paradise afterlife, in the world Nangilima. This world is reached by committing suicide by jumping of a cliff. So yeah, incredibly dark lyrics.

[@aekelly]

@@klurigswe yikes. There should be some kind of parental warning on a song about a joint suicide pact, no? Kind of disappointed they did this tbh.

[@Gr_in]

I listened to this when a patient of mine died. I work in the elderly care and she was the first person I've ever seen dead. It was terrifying but she was in so much pain, and her relatives rarely visited her. She was almost deaf and she didn't have an ear aid since she couldn't afford it. I still used to talk for her and showed her my pets which she appreciated. She was the sweetest little lady. She didn't deserve to die, but I was relived because it looked like she passed away peacefully. As I had finished my shift and waited for my cab I sat outside and listened to this song, remembering her. Hoping that she was in a better place. She'll will always have a special place in my heart. Rest in peace, and hope Nangalima is taking good care of you!

[@musicheals.3997]

I will always love you @SmithAndThell and your music.

[@Devilchu]

Such a good song with lyrics that are very bittersweet. If you're wondering about the title Nangilima you should look up "the Brothers Lionheart". It is a very famous children's fantasy novel written by Astrid Lindgren. Most everyone who grew up in Sweden before the 00's will know it for sure.

Nangilima is a referens to the death/the afterlife. It's from a VERY popular Swedish book by Astrid Lindgren.. She was such a popular children's author (and activist) for children's rights that her image is on our 20 kronors sedlar (money). The book is called "Bröderna Lejonhjärta" which kind of means The Brothers Lionheart, there's a movie too. It's very sad ❤️

Loved the song, and some of the lyrics takes me back to my childhood, reading brothers lionheart.

[@erlenedevilliers4425]

[@Zanaze_banane]

I love how they’re singing about being on the same wavelength and their harmony when they sing together creates a hidden parallel. Also how they use ‘world’ and ‘place’ but not ‘life’, to me indicative that the song could be used as a metaphor for the death of something in a person’s (or pair of peoples) lives. I dated a woman with as many mental health struggles as I have and fondly remember her in a pink dress. We’d both had times on the brink of suicide. I’ll always think of her when I hear this wonderful song. I just love it when music is open to interpretation, even by these guys very high standards this is a masterpiece!
