Elastiska
Det Stora Monstret Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vi lutar oss på nånting stort
jag och min håriga fot
jag märkte det inatt när jag föll
och på nåt sätt ändå höll
tiden har gjort oss elastiska
denna värld har bånkat oss fantastiska
när jag vaknar upp är du fortfarande här
...
det är mer än vi klarar av
du har gjort oss till dårar
men tiden har gjort oss elastiska
denna värld har bånkat oss fantastiska
tiden har gjort oss elastiska
denna värld har bånkat oss fantastiska
jag har blivit så svag
att jag inte längre kan gå i bitar
och en vacker dag




rymmer vi ut genom gallret
och kommer aldrig nånsin tillbaka

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Det Stora Monstret's song "Elastiska" discuss the idea of leaning on something bigger than oneself, and being able to withstand the challenges of the changing world around us. The singer admits to being weak and falling, but somehow still managing to hold on. The passage of time has made them elastic and flexible, able to adapt to whatever is thrown their way. The world has knocked them down, but it has also made them fantastic. The singer recognizes that their partner has driven them to madness, but the elasticity of time has allowed them to endure. Despite their struggles, there is a glimmer of hope in the final lines, as they suggest breaking free from the chains that bind them and never looking back.


The use of the word "elastic" is a central theme in this song. It represents the idea of being able to bend, but not break, under pressure, and adapting to the changes around us. The lyrics also suggest a sense of physical and emotional vulnerability, as the singer expresses weakness, yet also acknowledges their ability to withstand turmoil. The song has a haunting quality to it, as if the singer is giving a glimpse into the darkness within themselves and their relationship.

Vi lutar oss på nånting stort

Me and my hairy foot


jag märkte det inatt när jag föll
I noticed it last night when I fell

but somehow still held on

Time has made us elastic


denna värld har bånkat oss fantastiska
This world has bent us fantastic


när jag vaknar upp är du fortfarande här
when I wake up, you're still here

det är mer än vi klarar av
It's more than we can handle


du har gjort oss till dårar
You've made us fools


men tiden har gjort oss elastiska
But time has made us elastic

This world has bent us fantastic

Time has made us elastic

och en vacker dag
and one fine day


rymmer vi ut genom gallret
we'll escape through the bars


och kommer aldrig nånsin tillbaka
and never come back again.
