Pahempi toistaan
Apulanta Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kumpikaan meistä ei oo eikä ollut kultaa
Vaikka me niin annettiin olettaa

Ei huomattu lainkaan
Et kuinka ollaan velkaa
Kuin vasta nyt kun nenää
Siihen painetaan

Kumpikin toistaan paremmin
Tiesi jokaisen vaiheen
Kumarrettiin kuvaa peilissä

Pahempi toistaan kumpikin on
Ja kuinka nyt ne tappaa toisiaan
Sokeina toistaa lausetta samaa
Kuinka ne on tässä oikeessa
Rumempi toistaan kumpikin teko
Eikä niitä tekemättömiksi saa
Eikä ne huomaa kumpikin on
Vain pahempi toistaan

Varmoina voimasta ja niin helvetin ylpeet
Ilmeet kasvoilla me kaaduttiin

Synnytä uudestaan
Ei muuta kuin lauluissa
Kun jokaiselle jää
Laskut huveistaan

Kuningas ilman valtikkaa kuin on kuningatarkin
Vielä kumartavat peileilleen

Pahempi toistaan kumpikin on
Ja kuinka nyt ne tappaa toisiaan
Sokeina toistaa lausetta samaa
Kuinka ne on tässä oikeessa
Rumempi toistaan kumpikin teko
Eikä niitä tekemättömiksi saa
Eikä ne huomaa kumpikin on
Vain pahempi toistaan

Katkeemaan ei sitä mitenkään saa
Turhempaa ei oo olemassakaan
Huomaa vaan kun joku sanoo jotain sellaista
Mitä kuulla haluaa
Ei haittaa onko edes tottakaan
Oikeuttaa kalleintansa tuhlaamaan

Pahempi toistaan kumpikin on
Ja kuinka nyt ne tappaa toisiaan
Sokeina toistaa lausetta samaa
Kuinka ne on tässä oikeessa
Rumempi toistaan kumpikin teko
Eikä niitä tekemättömiksi saa
Eikä ne huomaa kumpikin on
Vain pahempi toistaan

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Apulanta's song "Pahempi toistaan" speak to the dangers of envy and pride in a relationship. The first verse highlights the fact that neither of the two people in the relationship is as good or as golden as they may have thought or presented to others. It's only now, when they are in trouble and faced with debt and struggle, that they realize their true situation. The second verse is a reflection on their history together and how they each knew every aspect of the other's past and present, but still felt the need to compete and compare themselves to one another. The chorus repeats the notion that each one is worse than the other, and they are blind to it. They are so convinced of their own righteousness that they don't even see the harm they cause each other. The bridge suggests that they should start anew and forget about their past, but still, they cannot escape their own grasp.


Overall, the song portrays the toxic effects of envy and a need for power in relationships, which can ultimately lead to self-destruction. The repetition of the phrase "Pahempi toistaan" reinforces this message and paints a picture of two people locked in a never-ending cycle of negativity and hurt.


Line by Line Meaning

Kumpikaan meistä ei oo eikä ollut kultaa
Neither of us had or have gold, despite suggesting otherwise


Vaikka me niin annettiin olettaa
Although we may have given the impression that we do


Ei huomattu lainkaan
We didn't notice at all


Et kuinka ollaan velkaa
How in debt we are


Kuin vasta nyt kun nenää
As if only now, when it's in our face


Siihen painetaan
We're forced to confront it


Kumpikin toistaan paremmin
We both knew each other's every step


Tiesi jokaisen vaiheen
We knew every phase


Kumarrettiin kuvaa peilissä
We worshiped our own image in the mirror


Pahempi toistaan kumpikin on
Both of us worse than the other


Ja kuinka nyt ne tappaa toisiaan
And how now they're killing each other


Sokeina toistaa lausetta samaa
Blindly repeating the same sentence


Kuinka ne on tässä oikeessa
How they're both right here


Rumempi toistaan kumpikin teko
Each of their actions uglier than the other


Eikä niitä tekemättömiksi saa
And they cannot be undone


Eikä ne huomaa kumpikin on
And neither of them realizes


Vain pahempi toistaan
Only worse than the other


Varmoina voimasta ja niin helvetin ylpeet
Confident in strength and so damn proud


Ilmeet kasvoilla me kaaduttiin
We fell with expressions on our faces


Synnytä uudestaan
Being born again


Ei muuta kuin lauluissa
Only in songs


Kun jokaiselle jää
When everyone is left with


Laskut huveistaan
The bills for their pleasures


Kuningas ilman valtikkaa kuin on kuningatarkin
A king without a scepter is like a queen


Vielä kumartavat peileilleen
Still bowing to their mirrors


Katkeemaan ei sitä mitenkään saa
It cannot be broken in any way


Turhempaa ei oo olemassakaan
There's nothing more pointless


Huomaa vaan kun joku sanoo jotain sellaista
You only notice when someone says something like that


Mitä kuulla haluaa
What you want to hear


Ei haittaa onko edes tottakaan
It doesn't matter if it's true or not


Oikeuttaa kalleintansa tuhlaamaan
Justifies wasting what's most valuable

@florenna Ikoninen-paita joka tunnistettavissa useista kotimaisista elokuvista. Paidasta muodostunut legenda.

Jos puet paidan päälle, niin ei se tee sinusta automaattisesti vaimon hakkaajaa.
Esim. Trasher hupparit oli skeittaus vaate brändi.
Kumminkaan arvioltani 70% käyttäjistä ei skeittaa. (Huomaa oma arvio)

Itse en kannata mihinkään sukupuoleen kohdistunutta väkivaltaa.

Toivottavasti ymmärsit tästä selvennyksestä jotain.

Apulanta - Pahempi toistaan (in english)

Neither one of us is or was gold
Even though we let to so assume

Didn't notice at all
Just how we're in debt
Until now when our noses
Are pushed into it

Each better than another

Knew every step
We bowed to reflections in the mirror

[ Corus:
Worse than another each are
And how they now kill one another
Blindly repeat the same sentence
How are they right in this

Uglier than another each deed
And they can't be made undone
And they don't notice that each is ]

Just worse than another


Sure of power and with so hellishly proud
expressions on our faces we fell

Reincarnation
Only happens in songs
When everyone is left
With the bills for their amusements

King without scepter as is the Queen
Still bowing to their mirrors

[ Corus:
Worse than another each are
And how they now kill one another
Blindly repeat the same sentence
How are they right in this

Uglier than another each deed
And they can't be made undone
And they don't notice that each is
Just worse than another ]

To snap it there is no way
Anything as useless doesn't exist
Only notice when someone says something
What you want to hear
It doesn't matter whether it is even true at all
Justifies spending what's ones most precious

[ Corus:
Worse than another each are
And how they now kill one another
Blindly repeat the same sentence
How are they right in this

Uglier than another each deed
And they can't be made undone
And they don't notice that each is
Just worse than another ]



@taistelubanaani420

Neither one of us has been nor will be gold
Though we let each other understand so

We didn't notice at all
How much we owe
Until now that our noses
Are pressed against it

Both of them, better than the other,
Knew every phase
Bowing to the image in the mirror

Both of them are worse than the other
And how they're now killing each other
Blindly repeating the same sentence
How they're so right with this one

Each deed is uglier than the other
And they can't be undone
And they won't notice, both of them are
Just worse than the other

Sure of our power, and so fucking proud
Looks on our face we fell

Give birth again
Only in songs
Everyone is left
With a bill from their fun

A king without his scepter, just like the queen
Are still bowing to their mirrors

Both of them are worse than the other
And how they're now killing each other
Blindly repeating the same sentence
How they're so right with this one

Each deed is uglier than the other
And they can't be undone
And they won't notice, both of them are
Just worse than the other

It can't be broken in any way
There's nothing more pointless
You'll just notice when someone says something
What the other wants to hear
It doesn't matter if it's even true
It justifies spending what you love the most

Both of them are worse than the other
And how they're now killing each other
Blindly repeating the same sentence
How they're so right with this one

Each deed is uglier than the other
And they can't be undone
And they won't notice, both of them are
Just worse than the other

+Marcus Östman Here´s the english translation if you want it:

Worse than the other
Neither of us has never been gold
though we let it be so understoodWe didnt notice at all
that how we owe
until now when our noses
are pressed against itBoth of us better than the other
Knew every phase
we bowed to the image in the mirrorEach of them is worse than the other
and how they now kill one another
Blindly repeat the same sentence
how right they are with this oneEach deed uglier than the other
and they cant be made undone
and they dont notice that each of them is
just worse than the otherSure of our power, so damn proud
expressions on our faces we fellGive birth again
Nowhere but in songs
When everyone is left
With a bill for their funA king without a sceptre like is the queen
Still bowing at the mirrorEach of them is worse than the other
and how they now kill one another
Blindly repeat the same sentence
how right they are with this oneEach deed uglier than the other
and they cant be made undone
and they dont notice that each of them is
just worse than the otherBroken it cannot be made
nothing more useless exists
notice only when someone says something like it
what you want to hear
it doesnt matter if its even true
it justifies spending what is dearestEach of them is worse than the other
and how they now kill one another
Blindly repeat the same sentence
how right they are with this oneEach deed uglier than the other
and they cant be made undone
and they dont notice that each of them is
just worse than the other



@anitasulonen1961

Tämä on hyvä biisi. Aiemmin vuodatinkin.
Vaan en koskaan huutele, jos ei ole aihetta.
Vetäisisin kuonoon koko maailmaa, jos se ei
koskaan ala ottamaan oppiaseen. Pahikselta
niskat nurin ja siihen malliin. Kauniilla sanoilla
ei tässä maailmassa pärjää. "Kusipäille" vaan
nyrkkiä lärviin! Tyyliin: "Lapsena se jo tehtiin."
Nyt kerron taas tarinan:
Isäni oli järjestysmies Kalevan jäähallissa.
Saimme käydä katsomassa ottelut. Olin 10-
vuotias. Luokallemme oli tullut joku uusi
Vellu -niminen kaveri. Häntä oli varoiteltu,
ettei Anitan kanssa kannata "uhmailla".
Kun jääkiekkomatsi oli ohi, kiekkoilijat
tulivat pukuhuoneista parkkipaikalle.
Ensimmäinen kiekkoilija huusi kovaa:
"Tulkaa jätkät kattoon, kun toi likka vetää
tota jätkää kuonoon." Turpiin sai, vaan se
oli itseni puolustamista. Hän oli ottanut
haasteen vastaan: "Anitan kanssa ei kannata!"
Rakkaat viestini vastaanottajat:
Olen koko ikäni taistellut paikastani tässä
maailmassa. Vaikka perheessäni oli Suomen
mestarinyrkkeilijöitä ja itse myös nyrkkeilin,
niin taas uudestaan valistan: Nyrkkeily on
tervehenkinen harrastus! Ei mitään tappelua!
Ps. Porukka: Menkää saleille riehumaan ja
purkautumaan. Pyry Lintusen ravintolan
naapuriin voisi perustaa, "Kuntosalin" nimeltä
"Fack The Wold": Salissa olisi maapalloja,
joita porukka saisi paiskoa mieliin määrin
Konsultaatiota tarvitaan hyvään käytökseen
kuitenkin Evalta: Rakkaudella Anita
(Eva olet minun "näkymätön" pikkusisko).
Puss!!!
