Bonusta Ja Plussaa
Klamydia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Vaikka kaikki muovilätkät hommasin.
Ei lompsa pullota,
En hymyile leveemmin,
Vaikka samaan puljuun ahkerasti rahani raijasin.
Lusikaisten perhe-teeveessä lykkii ostoskärryjä,
On hyvettä ja hilloo paikat pullollaan.
Mutta miten? Voisko joku tyhmää opettaa?
Ei paista päivä mulle sen kirkkaammin,
Vaikka kaikki muovilätkät hommasin.
Ei lompsa pullota, en hymyile leveemmin,
Vaikka samaan puljuun ahkerasti rahani raijasin.
Tyttö makaa patukoitten seassa,
Onnellinen virne naamalla,
Vakuuttaa: saat plussaa,
On elo kermahyhmää vaan!
Sama kortti mulla kädessäin,
Mä jotenkin vain ilman jäin,
Ei päässy meikä suklaan sekaan sukeltaan.
Kuumeisesti etsin saksia tai leipäveistä tai puukkoa,
Mä haluun ökymekakortit silpoa.
Nuotion väsään pihalle, pistetään muovi tulille,
Läskini piiskaa vapaudentanssiin hulppeaan!
No ei paistanut päivä mulle sen kirkkaammin,
Vaikka kaikki muovilätkät hommasin.
Ei lompsa pullottanut, en hymyillyt leveemmin,
Vaan lopunkin tolkkuni ulos tuuletin.
The lyrics of the song "Bonusta Ja Plussaa" by Klamydia reflect on the consumerist culture that the society lives in, where people tend to measure their worth based on the amount of material possessions they have gained. The singer of the song has bought everything that he can afford to buy with his money, but that doesn't make him any happier or richer. The sun doesn't shine any brighter, and his wallet doesn't feel any heavier. The singer is still left feeling empty and disillusioned. He sees the futility of his actions, but he is still trapped in this cycle of consumerism, trying to find happiness in owning things.
The song touches upon the idea that people are easily swayed by advertisements and the promise of bonuses and rewards. The reference to the loyalty cards and the term "plussaa" (bonus) reflects on how easily people can be manipulated by the allure of receiving something for free or at a discounted price. The mention of the girl who is ecstatic about receiving a "plussaa" from her candy bars shows how simple pleasures can be exploited to sell products.
The lyrics of "Bonusta Ja Plussaa" are a commentary on the commercialization of society and how people are willing to sacrifice their values and morals for the sake of material possessions. It is a reminder to question the motives behind our actions and to try and find joy in simplicity.

Ei paista päivä mulle sen kirkkaammin,
My life isn't any better even though I bought all those plastic cards.
Vaikka kaikki muovilätkät hommasin.
Even though I got all those plastic cards.
Ei lompsa pullota,
I didn't make a lot of money.
En hymyile leveemmin,
I'm not happier.
Vaikka samaan puljuun ahkerasti rahani raijasin.
Even though I worked hard for the same company.
Lusikaisten perhe-teeveessä lykkii ostoskärryjä,
In Spoonwavers' family TV show, they push shopping carts.
On hyvettä ja hilloo paikat pullollaan.
They have a lot of virtue and jam.
Niin pienellä muovipalalla voi saatanasti ansaita,
You can earn a lot with just a small plastic card.
Mutta miten? Voisko joku tyhmää opettaa?
But how? Can someone teach me, a fool?
Tyttö makaa patukoitten seassa,
A girl lies amongst candy bars,
Onnellinen virne naamalla,
With a happy grin on her face.
Vakuuttaa: saat plussaa,
She assures me I'll get points.
On elo kermahyhmää vaan!
Life is just a cream puff!
Sama kortti mulla kädessäin,
I have the same card in my hand,
Mä jotenkin vain ilman jäin,
But somehow I'm left without,
Ei päässy meikä suklaan sekaan sukeltaan.
I couldn't even dive into the chocolate.
Kuumeisesti etsin saksia tai leipäveistä tai puukkoa,
I feverishly search for scissors, a bread knife, or a knife,
Mä haluun ökymekakortit silpoa.
I want to cut up those luxury cake cards.
Nuotion väsään pihalle, pistetään muovi tulille,
I'll make a fire in the yard and put the plastic on it,
Läskini piiskaa vapaudentanssiin hulppeaan!
My fat will whip me into a grand dance of freedom!
No ei paistanut päivä mulle sen kirkkaammin,
My life didn't become any brighter,
Vaikka kaikki muovilätkät hommasin.
Even though I got all those plastic cards.
Ei lompsa pullottanut, en hymyillyt leveemmin,
My wallet didn't fill up, I didn't smile wider,
Vaan lopunkin tolkkuni ulos tuuletin.
I just ended up losing my mind.
