DNA
Det Stora Monstret Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Som alltid
Vill hugga efter alla krokar inom räckhåll
Och det är många nu
Som jag låtit tränga så djupt
Så länge att de nu börjar se ut som jag
Som mitt tunna skinn
Lika mycket jag
Lika mycket jag
Som mitt dna
Ryggen har glömt hur det kändes
Innan den blev stel
Och kroppen hur det var att
Vara ren
Och dörren som förut
Stod på glänt
Har förseglats med cement
Så blev du
En del av mitt skinn
Lika mycket jag
Som mitt dna
Lika mycket jag
Som mitt dna
Vi brukade vibrera frekvent
Nu har vi förstelnats permanent
Vi brukade vibrera frekvent
Nu har vi förstelnats permanent
Vi brukade vibrera frekvent
Nu har vi förstelnats permanent
Vi brukade vibrera frekvent
Nu har vi förstelnats permanent
The lyrics to Det Stora Monstret's song "DNA" explore the idea of personal transformation and the blurring of boundaries between oneself and external influences. The singer of the song acknowledges a part of themselves that is always eager to latch onto any opportunity or influence within reach. This part has allowed so many external influences to penetrate deeply within them that now these influences begin to resemble the singer themselves. The metaphor of their "thin skin" and the disappearing boundaries highlight the loss of individuality and the merging of identities.
The song also touches upon the physical and emotional changes that have occurred as a result of this merging. The singer expresses the feeling of their back becoming stiff and forgetting how it used to feel, implying a loss of flexibility and adaptability. Similarly, their body has forgotten what it means to be pure or clean, suggesting a corruption of their moral or ethical integrity. The once-open door has been sealed shut with cement, symbolizing a lack of access to new experiences or growth. In this context, the other person mentioned in the lyrics seems to have become a permanent part of the singer's being, inseparable from their DNA.
Overall, "DNA" reflects the struggle of maintaining one's sense of self in the face of overwhelming external influences and the potential loss of individual identity.

Det är en del i mig
There is a part of me
Som alltid
That always
Vill hugga efter alla krokar inom räckhåll
Wants to grab for every opportunity within reach
Och det är många nu
And there are many now
Som jag låtit tränga så djupt
That I have let penetrate so deeply
Så länge att de nu börjar se ut som jag
For so long that they now begin to resemble me
Som mitt tunna skinn
Like my thin skin
Lika mycket jag
Equally me
Gränsen suddas bort mer för varje dag
The boundary is blurred more with each day
Lika mycket jag
Equally me
Som mitt dna
Like my DNA
Ryggen har glömt hur det kändes
The back has forgotten how it felt
Innan den blev stel
Before it became stiff
Och kroppen hur det var att
And the body how it was to
Vara ren
Be pure
Och dörren som förut
And the door that used to
Stod på glänt
Be slightly ajar
Har förseglats med cement
Has been sealed with cement
Så blev du
So you became
En del av mitt skinn
A part of my skin
Lika mycket jag
Equally me
Som mitt dna
Like my DNA
Lika mycket jag
Equally me
Som mitt dna
Like my DNA

We used to vibrate frequently
Nu har vi förstelnats permanent
Now we have become permanently stiffened
Vi brukade vibrera frekvent
We used to vibrate frequently
Nu har vi förstelnats permanent
Now we have become permanently stiffened
