Kuninkaalliset
Klamydia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mitä sitä niin kapinoida,
Eikö voitais taas apinoida,
Rakkasta naapuria niin kuin aina ennenkin,
Niin hiton monta siipeiliää,
Jo elättää maa tää,
Että eikö sihen sakkiin mahtuis kuningatar ja kunkkukin

Nyt unohtuu Matti ja Mervi

Ja muut niin maalliset
Kun meillä on noi iki-omat
Kuninkaalliset.

Nyt unohtuu Viivit,Marikat
Ja Susanna Sieviset,
Kun meillä on noi iki-omat
Kuninkaalliset

Lehtien myynnit kattoon hilaa,
Niin paljon palsta tilaa,
Tämä pari taatusti seiskoissa kuluttaa.
Mitä muuta voi toivoa ,kun iki omaa hovia,
Seurata saa kansa jolle bb:kin tipahtaa.

Nyt unohtuu Matti ja Mervi
Ja muut niin maalliset
Kun meillä on noi iki-omat
Kuninkaalliset.

Nyt unohtuu Viivit,Marikat
Ja Susanna Sieviset,

Kun meillä on noi iki-omat
Kuninkaalliset

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Kuninkaalliset" by Klamydia discuss the desire to return to simpler times and to embrace the idea of being neighbors and friends once again. The song suggests that there are too many celebrities and influencers who are living off the land while regular people struggle to make ends meet. In the song, the singer argues that it would be better to have a "queen and king" among these rich and famous people who could use their power and wealth to improve the lives of those around them.

The lyrics reference the media and the obsession with celebrity culture. The song suggests that these celebrities are taking up too much space in the media, which could be better used to focus on the needs and interests of ordinary people. The chorus emphasizes the point that celebrities are not as important as they seem: "Now we forget about Matti and Mervi / and others so earthly / When we have our eternal royalty."

Overall, "Kuninkaalliset" is a commentary on the state of modern society, where people are more concerned with fame and fortune than with community and kindness. The song suggests that the antidote to this problem is to focus on what really matters: our neighbors, our friends, and the people who are struggling to make a living.

Mitä sitä niin kapinoida,
Why rebel so much,

Eikö voitais taas apinoida,
Can't we act like apes again,

Rakkasta naapuria niin kuin aina ennenkin,
Loving our neighbor like always before,

Niin hiton monta siipeiliää,
So many freeloaders,

Jo elättää maa tää,
That this country supports,

Että eikö sihen sakkiin mahtuis kuningatar ja kunkkukin
Why wouldn't the queen and king fit into that group

Lehtien myynnit kattoon hilaa,
Increasing newspaper sales to the max,

Niin paljon palsta tilaa,
So much column space,

What else can you hope for, when you have your own court,
