Koka-Kola själ
Hanna Järver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tar över sakta om du är rädd
(Vem fan bryr sig)
Det är ingen feberdröm nu
Ingen taskig hybris, okej
vill bara ha lite kul innan allt tar slut
Jag har koka-kola själ, Sverige vet vem jag är
Allt du någonsin önskat pumpar inom dig
Försöker pracka på mig disciplin
Jag har en egen jihad if you know what I mean
(Vem fan bryr sig)
Det är ingen kändiscrush
(Vem fan bryr sig)
Ingen cheesy film, okej
vill bara ha lite kul innan allt tar slut
Jag har koka-kola själ, Sverige vet vem jag är
Koka-kola själ, tror jag stannar här
Allt du någonsin önskat pumpar innom dig
Älskling du ler för att slippa gråta
Alldeles försent att försöka
(Vem fan bryr sig)
Vill bara ha lite kul innan allt tar slut
Jag har koka-kola själ, Sverige vet vem jag är
Koka-kola själ, tror jag stannar här
Jag har koka-kola själ, Sverige vet vem jag är
Koka-kola själ
(Koka-kola)
Det är ingen feberdröm nu
Ingen taskig hybris, okej
The lyrics of Hanna Järver's song "Koka-Kola själ" speak volumes about the singer's mindset and their desire to live their life on their own terms, without being bogged down by societal norms and responsibilities. The first verse speaks to the idea that norms and responsibilities can engulf you if you're not careful, but the singer doesn't concern themselves with these pressures, as they just want to have fun before it's all over. The second verse refers to the singer's inner conflict between their desire for fun and the pressure to be disciplined, but the singer remains resolute in their careless mindset.
The chorus with the repetition of "Koka-Kola själ" seems to suggest that the singer's desires and needs are fueled by their "Koka-Kola själ," or soul, which represents their individualism and desire for pleasure. The singer suggests that they are well-known in Sweden for their unique perspective and unapologetic attitude, and that they plan on staying true to themselves.
The final section of the song refers to someone close to the singer who is trying to hide their true emotions by feigning happiness. The singer suggests that it's too late for this person to try and pretend, but ultimately doesn't care either way, as they're more focused on enjoying themselves before it's too late.
Overall, "Koka-Kola själ" is a song about embracing your individuality and living your life on your own terms, without worrying about societal expectations or responsibilities.
