snö i skorna
Idiot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Borta är björkträdens löv
Kylan har tagit ett järngrepp
Jag fryser enormt om min röv
Snö i skorna x4
Snöstorm och minst minus sjutti
Tvingad att skotta som alltid
Med iskalla snöfyllda skor
Julen är alltid densamma
Hatet har växt varje år
Vantar och fula kalsonger
Aldrig nått roligt jag får
Snö i skorna
Jag vill bo i södra Sverige
Snö i skorna
Där snön är max en decimeter djup
Snö i skorna
Jag har snö i skorna
Snö i skorna
Aaaaaaarrrgh!
Tomten kan inte gå säker
Nu ska han få vad han tål
Laddar min bössa och siktar
Fetton med skägg är mitt mål
Snö i skorna
Jag vill bo i södra Sverige
Snö i skorna
Där snön är max en decimeter djup
Snö i skorna
Där den knappt täcker mina tår
Snö i skorna
Snö i skorna
Jag vill bo i södra Sverige
Snö i skorna
Jag har snö-snö-snö i mina skor
Snö i skorna
Ååååååååh
Snö i skorna
Aaaaaaarrrrgh!
The lyrics of the song "Snö i skorna" by Idiot's song depict the harsh winter conditions in Northern Sweden, particularly in Norrland. The verse begins by describing the arrival of winter, as the snow falls and the leaves of the birch trees are gone. The cold weather has a tight grip, and the singer expresses how freezing they feel, specifically in their rear end.
The chorus emphasizes the continuous struggle of having "snow in the shoes." This repetitive phrase signifies the discomfort and inconvenience of walking with snow-filled shoes. The following verse describes a snowstorm with temperatures dropping below minus 70 degrees Celsius. The mention of icy mucus demonstrates the physical discomfort experienced in such extreme cold.
The lyrics then shift focus to the holiday season, with the singer expressing disappointment and a growing resentment towards Christmas. The gifts received are described as gloves and ugly underwear, never bringing any joy. The desire to live in southern Sweden is expressed several times throughout the chorus, where the snow is described as being only a centimeter deep.
Towards the end of the song, the lyrics take a slightly darker turn, as the singer declares that Santa Claus will not be safe. They load a gun, aiming at Santa's overweight, bearded figure, suggesting a rebellious attitude towards the traditional figure of Christmas.
Overall, "Snö i skorna" expresses the frustrations and hardships of enduring a harsh winter in Northern Sweden, the disillusionment of the holiday season, and a desire to escape these unfavorable conditions.
