Hotel
Jons Lyrics

The lyrics to Jon's song "Hotel" depict a carefree and rebellious attitude towards the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions it imposed.

In the first verse, Jon greets his parents and assures them that he is alive and they should relax. He mentions that they are enjoying the sun and have arrived at their destination, despite the disapproval of Bent Høie, a Norwegian politician who suggested that they should have stayed at home. This verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, highlighting Jon's defiance and determination to enjoy life regardless of the circumstances.

The second verse reflects on the year 2020, which Jon describes as awful. He justifies his decision to go on this trip as a necessity for his well-being. He acknowledges the importance of taking precautions with regards to COVID-19, but also suggests that being at Paradise Hotel can make one a star, implying that the pursuit of fame and pleasure outweighs concerns about the virus.

The third verse acknowledges the criticism they faced from others who disapproved of their actions. Jon and his companions reacted by going to the bar and letting loose, eventually ending up at an after-party with Triana, referring to Triana Iglesias, a Norwegian-Spanish model, and television host. This verse demonstrates Jon's disregard for public opinion and his inclination to prioritize fun and spontaneity over caution and societal norms.

The final verse illustrates Jon's nonchalant attitude towards COVID-19. He reduces the virus to a mere rumor and implies that there is no reason to fear it. He boasts about their first night together, where none of them even contracted "COVID 18", suggesting that they are immune or above the risks associated with the virus.

The chorus emphasizes the carefree and indulgent atmosphere at Paradise Hotel, where they have access to a hot tub and live a life of luxury. Jon humorously replaces the use of hand sanitizer with Jägermeister, a popular alcoholic beverage. The lyrics suggest that, in this carefree environment, there are no boundaries, and even if you are a Swedish influencer, you can join them for a month-long stay with a party-loving guy from Skåne (a region in Sweden).

In summary, the lyrics of "Hotel" portray a rebellious and defiant attitude towards the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Jon and his companions choose to prioritize pleasure and escapism, disregarding the criticisms and risks associated with their actions. The song embodies a desire for freedom and a rejection of the restrictions imposed by the pandemic, presenting a narrative that focuses on living life to the fullest despite the circumstances.
