Despite the fact that Labrador only release Swedish artists, this is actually the very first band which actually sings in Swedish! It's not that Labrador doesn't like the Swedish language, it's just that this is the first band singing in Swedish that's been amazing enough to be released there.

Their debut EP Ingenting Är Lätt was released in digipak in May 2004. With influences ranging from Velvet Underground and Pixies to Beach Boys and a Swedish 70's touch the band refuses to admit, [ingenting] manages to sound like nothing else but themselves.

Right now the band can be heard on national radio in Sweden and seen on live scenes all over the country.

[ingenting] Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Den h?r stan
Kan inte ge mig n?gonting
Men den h?r stan
F?r mig att gl?mma bort allt
Jag ligger sjuk I ett rum utan ljus
Men jag h?r att l?ven fallit utanf?r

Julia

Julia
Julia

Den h?r dan
Kan inte ge mig n?gonting
Men den h?r dan
Kanske g?r s? att jag gl?mmer bort allt
Jag sitter full I en park utomlands
Jag h?r inte hemma n?gonstans

Julia
Julia
Julia

Att jag f?rs?ker
Betyder kanske ingenting
Men n?gon m?ste
Mena n?got med n?gonting
Jag ligger nedb?ddad igen

Jag var ung (Jag var ung)
Men det var l?ngesen
Jag var h?g (Jag var h?g)
Men det var l?ngesen
Nu vill jag aldrig ta mig upp igen (Nu vill jag aldrig ta mig upp igen)

Julia

Julia

Overall Meaning

The song "Julia" by [ingenting] seems to be about feeling disconnected from the world, and finding solace in someone or something. The first verse talks about being in a dark room feeling ill but being able to hear the fallen leaves outside, which can be interpreted as feeling trapped and disconnected from the outside world, but still feeling some connection to it.

The chorus consists of just the name "Julia" being repeated three times, which can be interpreted as the subject of the song finding comfort or solace in thinking about or being with Julia. In the second verse, the subject is in a foreign park feeling out of place, but perhaps finding some temporary distraction from their problems.

The last verse, with the repeated lines "I was young, but it was a long time ago, I was high, but it was a long time ago, now I never want to get up again," can be interpreted as reflecting on past mistakes or perhaps a difficult time in the subject's life that they can't seem to escape. Overall, the song's themes can be seen as universal in the sense that many people have experienced feeling disconnected, out of place, or trapped, but also finding moments of solace and comfort in other people, places or things.
