Movits! – Fel Del Av Gården Lyrics 16 years ago
Awesome song...lyrics are cool as well, translation takes some analysis but youll get it...

English Translation:

Coming from the wrong part of the yard, from the other side of the track
I grew up with gypsies
playing accordion
wanting to tell my future
while my dad emptied a bottle of explorer [cheap vodka]
taught myself to play guitar and those chords
djangos quintett playing from the grammophone
with second hand suits in the closets
and brass bands live every night in the garden


it started out good but then the problems came
stepped in the shit early, and the tax bill
i mean the responsibilities
rights
governments
the justice system
the likelihood is small, the unemployment office admits
maybe one should change name or
sell the mobile home or
knock out the gold tooth or
but some time the prejudice must be caught up with

You can call me an outsider
because i didn’t do what the others did when they
did what people did back in the days
no, im not the neighbour above
but the old lady calls the cops every time and says that i make the noise
comes from the right part of town
thats the problem

i grew up in the nicest neighbourhoods
my dad is a designer etc.
my other dad is already late
myself I was a kid and adopted
so my school time was very hard and complex
because my classmates thought it was wrong that
and the teacher was soon to get her pension
not their fault that
things turned out the way they did
according to recommendations from the holy scripture

johans dad “watch out, he’s the anti christ!”
according to miss teacher who tried to explain it sure
maybe we should have shot’er
or carried her out of th’re
now she’s dead and lies in the urn
but in some way the words still live on
the house peace, or something like that

I barely have any time to listen to your criticism
not Lykke Li
but pretty happy [Lycklig]
so lady please give me a chance to listen to my music
but no
Not “when in rome”

If the spoon is made of silver I”ll take it when I get there
they told me so many times
so thanks but no thanks, ill find the exit
but everything is just a dream

I’m swedish, I mean, I just go past the line
I’m even a man and I have a higher wage
as long as I don’t sit around with no job

I like the opposite sex
So kid I’m hardly what you call a fag
But kid I might be what you call slow
cause I don’t understand what you’re saying even if I hear you

K'naan – Strugglin' Lyrics 16 years ago
I really identify with this song; not the story he tells of growing up in the projects but rather the overall message of "not thinking about my past negatively, becasue i know its what got me here"...which is the line he says at the beginning of the song which is not included in the lyrics above. I'm 18 and I look back at my past and how many mistakes I made regarding drugs, girlfriends, school...and I have to feel some dissapointment with myself for doing some of the things I did, but i do not regret any of it because it molded me into the person I am today.

Anyways, yea...the song is obviously about k'naans earlier life growing up in the projects. Obviously speaking of the struggles and how hes thankful his brother is still alive. I can only guess that he is referring to some sort of gang conflict that he had to resolve with the line "With some angry men, and I gotta settle shit again before they gotta kill again"...

Great song, which compliments a great album....

Keane – Snowed Under Lyrics 18 years ago
1st stanza: he had thought about how mean someone (girlfriend) had been to him throughout the years

2nd stanza: he likes to think about how their relationship used to be (happy, fun, romantic, etc...)...but he is still glad that the relationship ended because he realizes that he is better off

3rd stanza: he doest know why he used to get so hung up on what she used to say to him...he realizes that he doesnt have to take what she says seriously...and that when he doesnt take what she says seriously that he has a good day...but when he does then he feels snowed under, or he gets depressed, sad, lonely

4th stanza: (i couldnt really understand this too well...so this is just a guess) to me this is the most personal part of the entire song...i think that the girl realizes that she is alone without him ("now you think that your alone")...and that home is really with him and she wants to get back together ("so you make your way back home")...that he might have gotten back together with her ("id love to greet the weary traveller")...if he hadnt realized that he was better off without her ("but your time has gone and im glad its over")...

5th stanza: same as 3rd

6th stanza: same as 3rd and 5th



very deep song...reminds me of a relationship a while ago...
