| "mamma pappa barn" (mum dad child) is a childrens game of one dad, one mum and a child (doll?). | |
| Dungen – Du E för Fin för Mig Lyrics | 16 years ago |
|
"aj aj buff" comes from "o aj aj aj aj buff" from "Trollmors Vaggvisa", a goodnight song for children. Check e.g. 0:44 from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mwApd29wsI From there it is not that hard to draw a parallell to "Itsy Bitsy Spider", about the spider and the rain. And the Swedish rhyme "den som inga byxor har, han får gå med rumpan bar" = "the one who does not have pants, will have to go with his back bare". |

wow great lyrics for a great song! it must be about the real heart inside and that nothing is good enough unless it is really felt on the inside, not in your your heart but in the heart of hearts, which means the very core of the heart! |

The Swedish festival, unless they ventured far into Swedish territory, ought to be the popular underground http://www.arvikafestivalen.se/ close to Oslo and the Norwegian border. Or like they say, "Norways best festival is in Sweden". Unless it is some kind of non-music festival (e.g. film). Could also be a Swedish festival in Oslo, but Arvika sounds most likely. |

| The Knife – I Just Had to Die Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| Is this song about a paedophile not knowing why he has that bad desire? the 3rd last line is spot on. | |
| The Knife – Afraid of You Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
is it not "Will I do?" as in "I am afraid I am not good enough"? or does it mean "Well, I do" like a "whatever" comment you would say in a wedding? |

The song is called Lasagna, not Lasagne. Charlotta making lasagna With me above the clouds What does this mean? |

| Tiamat – Gaia Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
Great song. Great live! Sounds a lot like it is about the mistreatment of the earth. But I am confused with this passage: If the earth is dying of a growing thirst Rain shall fall on dried out soil What does this mean? This sounds like there is some hope despite the human thirst. What kind of? Is this about the flooding and Noah's ship? |
|
| Kings of Convenience – Homesick Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
TNT 4 Th3 Brain: that is spot on, in my opinion. I so know what he is talking about. I also left Scandinavia to reach a distant shore. and I am certainly losing some sales while trying to find something to long for, some music or some feeling... a home. I never saw the feeling of home as anything that I could ever lose, but I guess "you don't know what you got till it's gone". |

| I think Jingo as in Jingoism. | |
| Katatonia – Passing Bird Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I live 'cause I need more light I hope I can change today I think these 2 lines contain the meaning and purpose behind most of Katatonias music and lyrics. I think you can hear in the lyrics his wish for this girl to grow out of her negative state of mind and be a source of light for him. when I hear this song I think of the My Chemical Romance - I'm Not Okay song cause it is so uplifting while trying to sell a fake feeling of despair! image that song without the singing, it would sound like your average uh Green Day or Blink182 song. at least in Sweden Emo and Goth would be pretty synonymous. I know what type of girl he is singing about, she would be 13-25 and listen to kent, Nightwish, Evanescence, Metallica and My Chemical Romance (this is song is of course a few years older). |

| ohGr – Cracker Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
"what could have been" sounds a little like "and all that could have been", a line from the song "the great below" by NIN and also the name of NINs live DVD, although that was released later. |
|
| Nine Inch Nails – March of the Pigs Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I have seen NIN 3 times and every time he adds "and every m-f-ing pig in (City or Country) is alright" in the end. He also keeps calling the crowd "pigs". Like "are you little pigs alright?" and everyone starts screaming because they know which ones the next 2 songs will be (Piggy always played after). But I do not believe there is a single meaning of this song. There is clearly these words in the lyrics that spell SEX as well. Somehow related artist Tori Amos is breastfeeding a pig on the sleeve inside one of her CDs gives a further idea about the meaning. |

| Sörskogen – Mordet i Grottan Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
I try to translate, please correct me: A summer once the warmth sweeps through we smile laughing but a sinister calm presents oneself somewhere in the forest the cave where where we played as children a torn body in eternal sleep deprived of the dawn of life who murdered him who took his life nobody knows, even today casting darkness upon our idyll A light shining gently bring us towards better days his soul wanders on (to the afterlife) we slowly head back the path leads us home the end of the day is drawing nearer we try to forget the murder in the cave who murdered him who took his life nobody knows, even today |

| A Perfect Circle – Renholder Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| "renholder" means "something who keeps things clean" in either Norwegian or Danish, like a trash bin or cleaning personnel. I think that this is the meaning of the song, Maynard said it in an interview. | |
| Opeth – Ghost of Perdition Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| it is not a concept album. how would you fit "isolation years" into the story? | |
| Opeth – Black Rose Immortal Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| Dunno. I love the track name. De Farfalla is not a Swedish name anyway. Sounds Dutch. | |
| Kate Bush – Suspended in Gaffa Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
To me this is about not getting into a relationship fully, and all the excuses you might have for this. Held back by mud and gaffa. "Have it all" meaning fully into a relation, was my thought. |

| The Strokes – Juicebox Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
"Everybody sees me, but it’s not that easy Standing in the light field, standing in the light field Waiting for some action, waiting for some action No but why won’t you come over here?" This song is about being rich and famous, to be in the spotlight, and not being able to do anything without being watched. In the video, just look at the girl taking a photo of the person puking, that would be front side stuff in newspapers, right? Everybody can see me! For a while it was nice but its time to say bye... Casablancas liked the fame for a while but does not wan't to continue it. I think the whole video is about being famous in different ways. Girls and party and stuff. And this recording studio, and they present Strokes for America. Rich girl horny on dog, I come to think of Paris Hilton in 60 years :P I would still say the lyrics is just a little random. |

| Led Zeppelin – Stairway to Heaven Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| easily the best Zeppelin song. maybe Immigrant song and Levee can challenge it. best song ever? | |
| Led Zeppelin – Immigrant Song Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| The Vikings were not not from Finland and Norway. They were from Sweden and Denmark, and some from Iceland and Norway. The Viking capitals were Birka near Stockholm in Sweden and one in Denmark, can't remember what it was called. The obvious meaning is about the Viking invasion of the british isles, but there may be other references as well, as you have written. | |
| Nine Inch Nails – Sanctified Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| no offense to the greatest band ever but this love/drog theme so many artists are singing about is totally lame. why can't they sing about coffee instead? | |
| Opeth – A Fair Judgement Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
"Åker" is a field used for farming. And "fält" means field. "Åkerfeldt" makes no sense, it is what we in Sweden call "cookie on cookie", to say someting twice. Just letting you know. This song is the most beautiful ever btw, if you did not know. It is definately about Madonna sellout Åkerlunds prostitute sex. Conspiracy. |
|
| The Knife – Bird Lyrics | 20 years ago |

| Röyksopp – What Else Is There? Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
It should be "Roads END getting nearer". The voice is from nordic neighbour Karin Dreijer from the Knife, go ahead and listen to them and their new album, they rock! For me it sounds like she was killed in a car accident. "It was me on that road But you couldn't see me Too many lights on, but nowhere near here It was me on that road Still you couldn't see me And then flashligths and explosions" Sounds a lot like a car accident to me. "Roads and getting nearer We cover distance but not together" They are almost home both of them, she is walking (running?) and the other one is driving whe the accident occurs. "I am the storm and i am the wonder And the flashlights, nigthmares And sudden explosions I don't know what more to ask for I was given just one wish" She got one wish after death, and she chose to come back as a miracle to haunt the driver with of the memories of the accident. Or was it to come back and finish the morning run? Someone fill me in :) The video seems o support my idea. But a lot is unclear. The woman at the table, she is Karin, the singer. |

| The Smashing Pumpkins – Tales of a Scorched Earth Lyrics | 20 years ago |
| This song is wonderful. What an outro for the beautiful 3-suite 33, sleep and 1979. But the vocals are not perfect, it could have been made better without losing the careless anger it posesses. Still one of my favourite songs though. | |
| The Smashing Pumpkins – By Starlight Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
"Soon said I, will know" is very similar to "Fools said I, you do not know" in Simon & Garfunkel. Sound of Silence can't be a coincidence, just too similar. Corgan is still God. |
|
| The Smashing Pumpkins – By Starlight Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
Soon said I, will know sounds very much like Fools said I, you do not know from Simon and Garfunkel - Sound of Silence I really do not think it is a coincidence! Smashing Pumpkins is best anyways! |
|
| The Smashing Pumpkins – Marquis in Spades Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I think it's about the feelings of the youth, the mean things we do in the name of desire and to be accepted/feel good. Something like "I break you just to feel control" |
