JUJU Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tuntenut jokaisen solun,
mitä oon sisälläni pitäny.
Tehä sitä mitä ei pitäny.
Mut kyllä iti, vaik luuli ettei itäny.
Ja kyllä piti, vaik luuli ettei pitäny
kokeakaan, oloo poteakaan.
Kyllä siinä niin kävi taas.
ihan maan ytimeen asti.
Isästä poika, miehestä lapsi.
Mikä on tän homman nimi?
Kuka on Julius Kivi?
Kulmassa pilke,
mut ei silmissä sini.
Kunnes uppoaa laivani, kunnes putoaa taivaskin.
Siihen asti, loppuun asti.
Loppuun asti. Loppuun asti.
Loppuun asti. Loppuun asti.
Loppuun asti. Loppuun asti.
Loppuun asti. Loppuun asti.
Kunnes uppoaa laivani, kunnes putoaa taivaskin.
Siihen asti, loppuun asti.
Se on helppoo, kun sen tietää.
Omasta taakastaan sietää.
Läpi syvimmän kaivanteen.
Helvetistä taivaaseen.
Pikkasen pidempi polku.
Siivottava sekanen sotku.
Mut tykkään kävellä ja siivota.
Harmonia haus, mut viel piilossa.
Mitä ikin tulee vastaan, mä ymmärrän.
Tuli mitä ikin paskaa, mä ymmärrän.
Käsi sydämellä.
Tässä pöydällä kynäl lennän,
kun tää teksti vuolaasti valuu.
Juuri ja juuri huomaat, niin savuu
kynän sauhutessa.
Kuolaakin valuu sua ajatellessa.
Kunnes uppoaa laivani, kunnes putoaa taivaskin.
Siihen asti, loppuun asti.
Loppuun asti. Loppuun asti.
Loppuun asti. Loppuun asti.
Loppuun asti. Loppuun asti.
Loppuun asti. Loppuun asti.
Kunnes uppoaa laivani, kunnes putoaa taivaskin.
Siihen asti, loppuun asti.
Loppuun asti. Loppuun asti.
Loppuun asti. Loppuun asti.
Loppuun asti. Loppuun asti.
Loppuun asti. Loppuun asti.
Juju's song "Loppuun Asti" talks about his journey through life and how he has gone through challenges and kept going until the end. He has walked a long path and knows every cell in his body, as he has kept things inside himself that he wasn't supposed to. He has done things that he wasn't supposed to do, but his mother thought he wouldn't make it. However, despite all odds, he did what he had to do and made it through.
The lyrics then talk about him questioning his identity - who is Julius Kivi? He has a sparkle in his corner, but no blue in his eyes. He talks about his struggles and successes, about how he is willing to go through the deepest depths and extremes to reach his destination. He has cleaned up his own mess through the long and arduous journey, willing to face anything that comes his way. He emphasizes that he understands that life can be messy and filled with unpleasantness, but he accepts it and moves forward.
In conclusion, the lyrics talk about staying true to oneself, persevering through life's challenges, and keeping faith until the end, no matter what may come.

Oon kulkenut pitkän polun, tuntenut jokaisen solun, mitä oon sisälläni pitäny.
I have walked a long road, felt every cell, and kept everything inside me.
Tehä sitä mitä ei pitäny. Mut kyllä iti, vaik luuli ettei itäny. Ja kyllä piti, vaik luuli ettei pitäny kokeakaan, oloo poteakaan.
Doing what shouldn't be done, but mother believed even when she thought it wasn't possible. And it had to be tried even if it didn't feel good.
Kyllä siinä niin kävi taas. Kyllä sitä piti niin käydä maas, ihan maan ytimeen asti. Isästä poika, miehestä lapsi.
It happened again. It had to be taken down to the earth's core. From father to son, from man to child.
Mikä on tän homman nimi? Kuka on Julius Kivi? Kulmassa pilke, mut ei silmissä sini.
What is the name of this thing? Who is Julius Kivi? There is a glimmer in the corner, but no blue in the eyes.
Kunnes uppoaa laivani, kunnes putoaa taivaskin. Siihen asti, loppuun asti. Loppuun asti. Loppuun asti. Loppuun asti. Loppuun asti. Loppuun asti.
Until my ship sinks, until the sky falls. To the end, to the very end.
Se on helppoo, kun sen tietää. Omasta taakastaan sietää. Läpi syvimmän kaivanteen. Helvetistä taivaaseen.
It's easy when you know it. To endure one's own burden. Through the deepest trench. From hell to heaven.
Pikkasen pidempi polku. Siivottava sekanen sotku. Mut tykkään kävellä ja siivota. Harmonia haus, mut viel piilossa.
A slightly longer path. The mixed mess must be cleaned up. But I like to walk and clean up. Harmony is nice, but still hidden.
Mitä ikin tulee vastaan, mä ymmärrän. Tuli mitä ikin paskaa, mä ymmärrän. Käsi sydämellä. Tässä pöydällä kynäl lennän, kun tää teksti vuolaasti valuu. Juuri ja juuri huomaat, niin savuu kynän sauhutessa. Kuolaakin valuu sua ajatellessa.
Whatever comes my way, I understand. Even if it's complete crap, I understand. With my hand on my heart. The pen flies across the table as the text flows. You barely notice as smoke rises from the pen. Drool spills out when I think of you.
