Onion Soup
22-Pistepirkko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All those dirdy clothes
Keeps spinning
On the endless typhoon
Plummer keeps me waiting
Feels like dust never sleeps
I asked for my dearest
Hey honey how are you
Some onion soup
Yeh and she said yeah
Yeah and she said yeah
Standing on a bill hill
Jets are giving me tone
My mind is crawling
Into a silvery sea
Cruise control on the loose
Lizards licking my toes
Ever lasting grass
Under my running shoes
Am i enough happy
Am i enough fast
Oough
Ou lord gimme onion soup
Yeh and she said yeah
Yeah and she said yeah
The lyrics of "Onion Soup" by 22-Pistepirkko are full of surrealism and abstract imagery that are open to interpretation. The song begins with a description of a hoover that is howling and a pile of dirty laundry that never stops spinning. The Plummer is keeping the singer waiting, and it feels like dust never sleeps. The singer then asks their dearest whether they are going to have onion soup tonight. The response is a simple "yeah."
The second verse is even more abstract than the first, with the singer standing on a bill hill and jets giving them tone. They describe their mind as crawling into a silvery sea and cruise control being on the loose. Lizards are licking their toes, and they are running on everlasting grass. The singer questions whether they are happy and fast enough before asking for onion soup again. The response is another simple "yeah."
At its core, "Onion Soup" is a song about the simple things in life that can bring us joy. The singer's request for onion soup is a way of expressing their desire for something warm and comforting. The surreal imagery and abstract lyrics create a dream-like atmosphere that allows listeners to connect with the emotions behind the song in a visceral way.
