Elin has danced since she was seven years old. But then she injured her knee and decided to go for the music. Her dad was laying a floor for the director of the record company Rodeo Records. At that time Elin recorded some songs and gave them to the director.
In 2006 she participated in the TV show "Rampfeber", on Sweden's TV4 and sang duets with Runar Sörgaard.
Elin also participated in the first heat of Melodifestivalen 2007 with the song 'Money'. She made the second chance, but did not reach the final.
Discotheque
Elin Lanto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You shot me to the ground
Bang bang
At the speed of sound
I'm dead for poison in my ears
My head can't stand your frequency
Only you can bring me back
You can save me with your sound
I'm reborn as a discotheque
When you spin the record round and round
I'm reborn as a discotheque
Because you saved me with a sound
You bring me back to life
Bang bang
My hearts on overload
Bang bang
Beats me up again
Round round
You spin me all round
I'm down
But I'm reaching for higher ground
I'm reborn as a discotheque
When you spin the record round and round
I'm reborn as a discotheque
Because you saved me with a sound
I'm reborn as a discotheque
When you spin the record round and round
I'm reborn as a discotheque
Because you saved me with a sound
You bring me back to life
You save me with a sound
You save me with a sound
You save me with a sound
You save me with a sound
I'm reborn as a discotheque
When you spin the record round and round
I'm reborn as a discotheque
Because you saved me with a sound
I'm reborn as a discotheque
When you spin the record round and round
I'm reborn as a discotheque
Because you saved me with a sound
You bring me back to life
The lyrics of Elin Lanto's song "Discotheque" portray a story of a person who feels as though they are dying from the silence in their life. They state that they have been shot to the ground, and they are struggling to stand up again. They express that their head cannot stand the frequency of the silence around them, and they feel like poison is in their ears. It is at this point that they express that only a sound can bring them back to life. They are reborn as a discotheque, and the only thing that can save them is a spinning record. The speed of the sound revives them and makes them feel alive again.
The chorus of the song repeats the theme of the rebirth of the person as a discotheque, emphasizing that they have been saved by the sound of the music. The verses of the song continue to speak to the pain of feeling dead inside and being revitalized by the music that is played in the discotheque. The song is a tribute to the healing power of music and dance, and how it can bring people back to life.
