finland is bleak and barren, the people here are quiet and melancholic, but still we would stand up for our swedish brothers if the need turned urgent and real. sure we might fight over icehockey matches, but if another country would try to fuck with sweden, we would be there to kick that country's ass alongside with the swedes.
so from the prologue to my view on the meaning of the song: i think it's about how swedish people might experience finland in comparison to other nordic countries like norway, danmark and iceland. the finnish language isn't a germanic language like swedish, norwegian, danish or icelandic and this is why they feel lost here, but still we share a connection that somehow binds us, so our swedish neighbours don't feel alone, but amongst their brethren.
i could be totally off, but this is how i see the song.
