Kostaja Raswaaton paluu
Klamydia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No on kylmä rinki perseen alla
Tuli keskelle kesää halla
Kun kuulin mä sen uutisen
Enää missään turvassa ole en
Sen presidentti armahtaa
Taas moni tyyppi kuukahtaa joo

Charles Mansoni on sylivauva

Viiltäjä-Julle on leluhauva
Kun tyyppiin tähän verrataan
Se omansa saapuu noutamaan
Siellä missä se kulkeekaan
Sieltä katoo pouta maan joo

Se on karmee kostaja Raswaatto
Tuomiopäivän aatto Raswaatto
Jee jee jee Raswaatto
Tuomiopäivän aatto Raswaatto
Voi taivahan taatto

Ruumiita jo limittäin
Mä sen äsken uutisista näin
Enää ei haeta förskottia
Eikä kattota Noppapottia
Ministerikin kyrvähti
Kun nappi ottaan pärähti joo

Se on karmee kostaja Raswaatto
Tuomiopäivän aatto Raswaatto
Jee jee jee Raswaatto

Tuomiopäivän aatto Raswaatto
Voi taivahan taatto Raswaattoo..........

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Klamydia's song "Kostaja Raswaaton paluu" are strongly charged with a sense of fear and danger. The first verse talks about the feeling of vulnerability and insecurity that the singer experiences after hearing some disturbing news. The use of the metaphor of "cold ring under the ass" is particularly striking and creates a sense of physical discomfort and unease. The sudden appearance of frost in the middle of summer reinforces the idea of something bizarre and out of ordinary happening. The fear becomes even more palpable when the singer realizes that there is no place of safety where they can hide, as the president seems to be giving free rein to violence and chaos.

The second verse builds up on the theme of violence and danger, using two notorious examples of murderers, Charles Manson and Jack the Ripper, to create a sense of horror and disgust. The line "It takes its own when it comes" suggests that the impending threat is selective and arbitrary, and that nobody is safe from it. The chorus repeats the name of the eponymous character, "Raswaatto", who is described as a ruthless avenger who brings about doomsday. The imagery of corpses piled up and the reference to the collapse of the government reinforce the apocalyptic tone of the song.
