About This Track

'Kandy' by Fever Ray is an alternative track from 'Radical Romantics' released in 2023. The lyrics shift between intimate address and bleak self-doubt, weighing solitude against devotion, with images of confession, leaving things unsaid, and a night that turns toward betrayal, or at least replacement. At one point the singer wonders what it means to die with a song “inside”. Elsewhere, the words court danger in a tender register, moving through trust without answers, and closing on a line that frames desire in sweeping, if uneasy, terms.

"Kandy" is a single by Fever Ray, from the album Radical Romantics, released 10th March 2023. The track is 4:07 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 3 articles about Fever Ray.

Lyrics

Kandy

We've been talking, now I'm singing
What if I die with this song inside
I've been alone forever
You show a new book to read out loud
Please, come home now
Tonight we'll go with someone else
I trust you, no answers
Simply wood and fire
She laid me down and whispered
All girls want Kandy
Can you bring me back, ah-ahh-ah
All girls want Kandy
Be still and patient
A new sounding instrument
We deserve rest (rest, rest)
Ohh, lovelier than diamonds
She laid me down and whispered
All girls want Kandy
Can you bring me back, ah-ahh-ah
All girls want Kandy
Ohh, after the swim she laid me down and whispered
All girls want Kandy
Can you bring me back, ah-ahh-ah
All girls want Kandy
Simply wood and fire
Lovelier diamonds
Simply wood and fire
Lovelier diamonds
Simply wood and fire
Lovelier diamonds
