JUJU Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jumalan käsi, joka liikuttaa laivaa.
Kun todellisuus itse luotu, saa kaiken kuin eteen tuotu.
Siitä juopu, siitä juopu, siitä juopu, siitä luopu.
Vain rakkaus on pysyvää, ja vain sen vähäisempi muoto sais mut tääl pysymään.
Vastaukset löytää, kun käy kysymään.
Kohti jotain suurempaa. Älkää seuratko muita, seuratkaa itseä.
Olet loputon voima, lannistumattoman sitkeä.
Itseään peilaten, totuuden aaloilla seilaten,
muiden mielipiteistä viis veisaten, kaiken vanhan heivaten.
Itseään peilaten, totuuden aaloilla seilaten,
muiden mielipiteistä viis veisaten, kaiken vanhan heivaten.
Kaikki on jo tapahtunut, alulle laitettu.
Kaikki on jo sanottu, siististi pinoon taitettu.
Rakkaudella teille hyvät naiset ja herrat. Elämiä useita, hetkii vain kerran.
Jäljellä illuusio ajan, etäisyyden,
riippuvuuden ja tavan, persoonallisuuden ja sanan.
Mitään niistä ei tarvita. Niiden poisjääminen ei harmita.
Totuus kaikessa kauneudessaan niin karmiva mörkö.
Mut ootko mieluummin rohkea vai pelokas hölmö?
Itseään peilaten, totuuden aaloilla seilaten,
muiden mielipiteistä viis veisaten, kaiken vanhan heivaten.
Itseään peilaten, totuuden aaloilla seilaten,
muiden mielipiteistä viis veisaten, kaiken vanhan heivaten.
Itseään peilaten, totuuden aaloilla seilaten,
muiden mielipiteistä viis veisaten, kaiken vanhan heivaten.
Itseään peilaten, totuuden aaloilla seilaten,
muiden mielipiteistä viis veisaten, kaiken vanhan heivaten.
Ei pelkoja voita, jos ei niitä kohtaa. Aina syvemmälle painaa pohjaan.
Aina kauemmas polulta tiesi johtaa.
Oppi on ikuinen, itse päätetty, tietylle taajuudelle säädetty.
Kivi, jota ei käännetty.

The lyrics of Juju's song Illuusio speak to self-discovery and the search for truth. The opening lines express the artist's desire to turn their personal hell into heaven, implying an introspective journey aimed at finding a way out of inner turmoil. The next lines mention the hand of God that moves the ship, suggesting that the artist relies on a higher power to navigate the difficult road to self-discovery. The lyrics go on to encourage the listener to pursue their own path towards something greater and to not be swayed by the opinions of others. The chorus emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and embracing one's own truth, shedding old beliefs and ideologies that may no longer serve them.
The second verse reinforces the idea of the journey towards self-discovery: everything has already happened and been said, and we are left with the illusion of time, distance, addiction, persona, and words. These illusions do not matter: what matters is the truth that exists beyond them. The lyrics suggest that it takes courage to face one's fears and to stray from the beaten path, but ultimately, it is the only way to find one's true purpose. The repetition of the chorus reinforces this idea, that true fulfillment comes from self-awareness and the courage to embrace that truth.

An illusion of time, distance, addiction, habit, personality, and words remain. None of them are needed. Their absence does not cause harm.
Totuus kaikessa kauneudessaan niin karmiva mörkö. Mut ootko mieluummin rohkea vai pelokas hölmö?
The truth in all its beauty is such a scary monster. But would you rather be brave or a foolish coward?
Ei pelkoja voita, jos ei niitä kohtaa. Aina syvemmälle painaa pohjaan. Aina kauemmas polulta tiesi johtaa.
You don't conquer fears if you don't face them. It always pushes the bottom deeper. The path always leads further away.
Oppi on ikuinen, itse päätetty, tietylle taajuudelle säädetty. Kivi, jota ei käännetty.
The teaching is eternal, self-determined, tuned to a certain frequency. The stone that was not turned.
