Fenomenet
Kjartan Lauritzen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ja, du finner meg på himmelen og nyheter på tv
E det sant, kan du danse litt med stjernene?
Eit kompliment, men eg henge kun med vennane mine
Trenge ingen lys i taket for å finne fram på kartet
Sitter inne splitter naken, skapar glede ved å skape
Dei viste meg kor skapet stod
Hadde null i det, men det e det dei kallar meg no
Dei seie ah, fenomenet
Fenomenet seie ka e det med deg, du e fenomenal
Dei seie ah, fenomenet
Fenomenet seie ka e det med deg, du e fenomenal
E du gal, e du gal, detta bynne å gå for langt
Avisa skrive sak, eg har fått et nytt navn
Eg e fenomenet, eg e fenomenal
Du må gjere en bedre research, eg e Kjartan for fan
Eg skal ikkje lyge, eg synes navnet e fint det
Det e lite eg kan klage på, eg likar kje å skryte men
Fan, eg e fet, eg e fet som fan
Må berre akseptere at detta e mitt nye navn
Dei seie ah, fenomenet
Fenomenet seie ka e det med deg, du e fenomenal
Dei seie ah, fenomenet
Fenomenet seie ka e det med deg, du e fenomenal
Fenomenet, fenomenal
Fenomenet, fenomenal
Fenomenet, fenomenet, fenomenal
Fenomenet, fenomenet, fenomenal
Dei seie ah, fenomenet
Fenomenet seie ka e det med deg, du e fenomenal
Dei seie ah, fenomenet
Fenomenet seie ka e det med deg, du e fenomenal
In Kjartan Lauritzen's song Fenomenet, he addresses the attention and recognition he has been receiving lately, and questions whether he is the "young phenomenon" that people talk about. He sarcastically asks if he can dance with the stars as a compliment but clarifies that he hangs out only with his friends, and doesn't need any spotlight to make an impact in the world. He reveals that he was once hopeless and was shown where his true talent lay, and now he is called a "phenomenon."
The chorus of the song features the repetition of "Dei seie ah, fenomenet/Fenomenet seie ka e det med deg, du e fenomenal" which means "they say ah, the phenomenon/The phenomenon says, what is it with you, you're phenomenal." He then questions if he is crazy or if the attention has gone too far since he has been called by a new name by the media. He acknowledges that he finds his new name "the phenomenon" to be nice and has no complaints about it. The song ends with the repetition of "Fenomenet, fenomenal" several times.
The song reminds people that adulations and accolades come and go, and the only thing that matters is finding joy within oneself. It highlights the importance of staying grounded and not letting praises affect one's identity and purpose.
