Klamydia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jos ne toimii, jos ne on tarttuvii
Niin se on labraamatonta,
Eliksiirii,
Eliksiirii,
Eliksiirii.
Niin muualta hyväksyntää hain.
Tää silmiin katsoi, tarttui käteen kii ja sanoi:
Annan sulle
Eliksiirii,
Eliksiirii,
Eliksiirii.
Kun pienen palan melodiaa, toiseen punoo kii
Jos ne toimii, jos ne on tarttuvii
Niin se on labraamatonta
Eliksiirii,
Eliksiirii,
Eliksiirii,
Eliksiirii,
Eliksiirii
The song "Eliksiirii" by Klamydia is a tribute to the joys and powers of music. The opening lines describe how a melody can be woven into a larger fabric of sound and become very infectious if it is successful. This power is uncontrollable and not something that can be created in a lab, hence "labraamatonta". The chanting of the word "Eliksiirii" underscores the idea that music can be a sort of elixir, capable of healing and transformation.
The next verse tells a story of how the singer received validation and acceptance from someone through music. In search of approval, the singer finds solace in a woman who looks him in the eyes and takes his hand, giving him "Eliksiirii". This is a powerful moment that shows how music can create intimacy and help us connect with others.
The song returns to the chorus, repeating "Eliksiirii" multiple times, as if to really drive home the idea that music is magical and transformative. The final line of the song, "Eliksiirii", is drawn out and fades away, suggesting that the power of music endures even when the song has ended.
