Annika Aakjær Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Der gik i kirke som barn
Og mig der beholdt tøjet på
Selv når sommeren blev varm
Og selvom du var så blond som man ka bliv
Så var det stadig mig, der var naiv
Du sagde dit navn kommer fra biblen af
Du sad og græd hos mig med solbrun hud
Jeg fatted ingenting og så så bleg ud
Og på din T shirt
Stod der voksen og følsom
På min stod der flirt
Jeg aned ik hvad det handlede om
Folk så os bare
Som to piger
Men jeg ser os som noget meget
Meget friere
Noget verden ik ka holde nede
Historien ik ka fucke med
Og vi dansed til Roxette i radioen
"It must have been love" and "she′s got the look"
Og jeg tænkte alle sangene handlede om dig
Før alt blev H2O og Levis
Jeg troede at slyngveninder var et grimt ord
Fordi de kom ud af munden på min stedmor
Jeg sagde dit navn kommer fra bibelen af
Og jeg går bare rundt og hedder Annika
Og på din T shirt
Stod der voksen og følsom
På min stod der flirt
Jeg aned ik hvad det handlede om
Folk så os bare
Som to piger
Men jeg ser os som noget meget
Meget friere
Noget verden ik ka holde nede
Historien ik ka fucke med
Historien ik ka fucke med
Og folk så os bare
Som to piger
Men jeg ser os som noget meget
Meget friere
Noget verden ik ka holde nede
Historien ik ka fucke med
Verden ik ka holde nede
Historien ik ka fucke med
The lyrics of Annika Aakjær's song "T-shirt" tell the story of two young girls who share a close bond despite the seemingly different paths they have taken. The first verse contrasts the singer, who kept her clothes on during hot summers, with the blond-haired girl who went to church as a child. The singer views herself as naively innocent, while the other girl seems more worldly. The second verse reveals more about the blond girl, who shares her name with a biblical figure and cries in front of the singer. The singer is confused and unsure of how to comfort her friend, feeling pale and helpless.
The chorus centers around the contrast between the two girls' t-shirts. The blond girl wears a shirt that reads "voksen og følsom" (adult and sensitive), while the singer wears a shirt that reads "flirt." They are viewed by others as just two girls, but the singer sees their bond as something much greater, something that the world can't hold down or change. The bridge highlights the power of music to bring people together, as the two girls dance to Roxette songs before growing up and becoming more focused on material things like clothing brands.
Overall, "T-shirt" is a song about the enduring power of friendship and the importance of staying true to oneself in the face of societal pressure. The two girls in the song may have seemed different on the surface, but their connection went beyond appearances and labels, and they were able to transform what others saw as a limitation into a symbol of freedom and strength.
