Levande begravd

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Det är ändå alltid samma sak
Åt vilket håll man än vänder sig
har man alltid ändan bak
Du kan inte lita på någon
Överallt är det låst
Alla vill tjäna stålar
men ingen vill bli blåst
Jag vill inte bli levande begravd
Jag vill inte vara någons slav
Du är bara nyttig när du jobbar
annars är du ett problem
Vi är köpta och betalda
av samhällets system
Vi kan inte nå varandra,
vi kan inte längre se
Vi har blivit tomma skuggor
som helst vill vara ifred
Jag vill inte bli levande begravd
Jag vill inte vara någons slav
The song "Levande begravd" by Mattias Alkberg BD expresses feelings of hopelessness and disillusionment with society. The first stanza asks the age-old question of what the meaning of life is, but immediately dismisses it as always being the same thing. No matter which way you turn, you always seem to be stuck in a bad situation. Trust is hard to come by, and everywhere seems to be locked. People are only out for themselves and no one wants to be taken advantage of.
The second stanza continues this theme of feeling trapped and used by society. The singer feels that they are only useful when they are working and earning money, but outside of that, they are a problem. The system has bought and paid for us, making it impossible to connect with others. People have become empty shells, only wanting to be left alone. The final phrase of the chorus, "I don't want to be anyone's slave" emphasizes the desire for freedom and independence.
Overall, the song seems to be a criticism of the capitalist system and its effect on individuals. The lyrics suggest that society has become corrupt and that people have lost touch with each other and themselves.
