Stockholm
Donnie Joost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'm from the Netherlands
Born in Stockholm
But I'm from the Netherlands
Born in Stockholm
But I'm from the Netherlands
Pull up in Amsterdam
I got the rubber bands
But I'm from the Netherlands
Born in Stockholm
But I'm from the Netherlands
Born in Stockholm
But I'm from the Netherlands
Pull up in Amsterdam
I got the rubberbands
Snelle Planga net Riff
Riced out in die bitch
Op je huid net een cyste
Lippenstift rood een Suzuki Swift
Ik ben een kapitalist
Ik ben op ei als een kip
Al mijn mannen zijn te dik
Wij passen niet in die lift
Look at the flick of the wrist
In het donker geef ik licht
Wordt dat en Christian Kist
Ik ben geen rapper maar een populist
Ik ga niet dood in een kist
Ik verdween in die mist
Ik kijk effe Schindler's List
De Nederlandse Taylor Swift
Born in Stockholm
But I'm from the Netherlands
Born in Stockholm
But I'm from the Netherlands
Born in Stockholm
But I'm from the Netherlands
Pull up in Amsterdam
I got the rubber bands
Born in Stockholm
But I'm from the Netherlands
Born in Stockholm
But I'm from the Netherlands
Born in Stockholm
But I'm from the Netherlands
Pull up in Amsterdam
I got the rubberbands
Ik doe dit voor mijn kids
En ik heb niet eens kids
Speel effe de Sims
Voel met Henk-Jan Smits
Kom designer tot de rits
Mijn money wit net Maurits
Gappie jij bent op niks
Patta van de game
Analyst eh
Wil goud in mijn gebit
Wil een klap in mijn gezicht
Jij bent op saus als dips
Gek als Kiss
Serieus net een jurist
Ik bombard Angerfist
Ik chap wat fish en chips
Versace Goudvis
Born in Stockholm
But I'm from the Netherlands
Born in Stockholm
But I'm from the Netherlands
Born in Stockholm
But I'm from the Netherlands
Pull up in Amsterdam
I got the rubber bands
Born in Stockholm
But I'm from the Netherlands
Born in Stockholm
But I'm from the Netherlands
Born in Stockholm
But I'm from the Netherlands
Pull up in Amsterdam
I got the rubberbands
The lyrics to Donnie Joost's song "Stockholm" present a complex exploration of identity and self-perception, navigating between the dualities of being born in Stockholm but identifying as hailing from the Netherlands. The repetition of the lines "Born in Stockholm, But I'm from the Netherlands" creates a sense of inner conflict and dichotomy within the artist's sense of self. This juxtaposition suggests a struggle to reconcile different aspects of one's identity and origins, hinting at the complexities of personal history and cultural heritage.
The mention of pulling up in Amsterdam with rubber bands adds a materialistic element to the lyrics, possibly symbolizing wealth, success, or a flashy lifestyle. This imagery of luxury and abundance contrasts with the artist's roots and upbringing, underscoring the theme of duality between their past and present circumstances. The song seems to touch upon themes of migration, displacement, and the tension between one's original identity and the persona one adopts in a new environment.
The subsequent verses delve deeper into the artist's identity and worldview, as they reference Dutch rapper Snelle and a flashy lifestyle filled with expensive jewelry ("Riced out in die bitch"). The mention of a Suzuki Swift coated in red lipstick and the line "all my men are too fat, we don't fit in that lift" suggests a humorous and self-aware portrayal of excess and juxtaposition within the artist's social circle. The lyrics also touch upon societal themes, with references to capitalism, populism, and a hint of rebelliousness or nonconformity.
As the lyrics progress, the artist reflects on their aspirations and desires, expressing a sense of ambition and longing for success. The mention of doing it "for my kids" even though the artist doesn't have any yet adds a layer of irony and depth to their motivations. References to high fashion brands, monetary desires, and a desire for uniqueness further characterize the artist's persona as someone who is striving for recognition and a distinct presence in the world. Overall, the lyrics to "Stockholm" by Donnie Joost offer a complex portrait of identity, ambition, and societal commentary wrapped in a catchy and energetic musical composition.
