Räknat alla timmar börj' på känn mig helt körd
Kastats in i leken spelar tills det för sent
Dom nå mig på ventrilon där vi hörs men int' ses
Har fastnat i min bubbla men jag bryr mig ingenting
Varit så så länge enda som jag känn' till
Har fastnat i min bubbla men jag bryr mig ingenting
Väntat tok' för länge känns som allting står still
Yeah
Jag har tappat vem jag va jag har sett mig i nån annan
Jag tagit allt jag har åh jag har gett det till nån annan
Haft svårt å se mig själv jag sjunger av mig som jag Maggio
Skriver Hitsen på El Pation jag borde ha min egen banjo
Borde kallas Fricky Martin jag har rösten av en gud ju
Borde lära mig nå språk nu så att hela världen kan få gåshud
Varje låt man snickra på nu det ba rinner massa sås ur
Ingen kommer komma nära alla vet att jag är långt ut (yeah)
Jag borde sett det på den väg jag tog
Har varit där men inte nära nog
Det har hängt i luften som en Ally oop (ah yeah Ally)
Den här bubblan den är min
Åh här får ingen komma in
För jag har blockat med en grind (oh yeah)
Ingen kunn trott att jag sku bli den som jag blev
Men när Fricky var ett barn han var på sitt egna ben
Ingen såg det då men nu dom alla vet
Jag vart uppe i min bubbla åh kan inte ta mig ner
Vet de kunn bli svårt men låt mig gö' ett försök
Räknat alla timmar börj' på känn mig helt körd
Kastats in i leken spelar tills det för sent
Dom nå mig på ventrilon där vi hörs men int' ses
Har fastnat i min bubbla men jag bryr mig ingenting
Varit så så länge enda som jag känn' till
Har fastnat i min bubbla men jag bryr mig ingenting
Väntat tok' för länge känns som allting står still
In "Bubbla," Fricky talks about feeling detached from the world, trapped in his own bubble. He begins the song by acknowledging that it might be difficult to express himself but attempts to do so anyway. He talks about feeling completely drained despite having put in a significant amount of work. Fricky says that he has been thrown into the game but keeps playing until it's too late to back out. He communicates with others through Ventrilo, a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology that allows people to talk over the internet, but he doesn't meet them in person.
Fricky confessed that he has been entrapped in his bubble for so long that he no longer cares about anything. He can't recall experiencing anything other than being in his zone. He has reached a point where he feels he has been waiting for too long, and everything has come to a standstill.
In the chorus, Fricky repeats that he is "stuck in his bubble," but he doesn't care. He has grown accustomed to being isolated and ends the chorus by saying that everything else is on standby.
In verse two, Fricky observes that he has lost his sense of self, and he sees a different person when he looks in the mirror. He admits to having given everything he has to someone else, which has left him feeling empty. Fricky struggled to see himself as a person, and he sings that he found himself as he was singing. He says he writes hits on El Pation and jokes that he should get a banjo. He thinks he has the voice of a god and should learn new languages to amaze the world.
Fricky says that he makes music, but it all runs together, and nobody can come close to him. He acknowledges that he's not close enough to where he wants to be, but he's close enough. Fricky uses a basketball analogy and likens the feeling to an ally-oop. In the pre-chorus and chorus, he repeats the same lines as in the first verse, describing how he's stuck in his bubble but doesn't care.
Overall, "Bubbla" is a song about feeling trapped and isolated from the rest of the world. Fricky creates a vivid picture of his emotional state with metaphorical language, descriptions of his everyday life, and personal reflections.
