Mä oon tyhmä
Klamydia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Päästän suustani sammakon
päästän toisenkin
Ja jos hetken vielä kuuntelet
niin karkaa kolmaskin

Taas möläytin
jotain saatan katua myöhemmin
Mutta tuppisuuksi jäämistä ainakin surisin

Ehkä lennän yli laidan
ehkä riman alitan
Mutta ootko ikinä kuullut
että siitä valitan?

Mä oon tyhmä
mä oon hullu
tiedän kyllä sen
Mutta ootkohan säkään täysillä
mä vähän epäilen
Mä elän niinkuin tahdon
sinä niinkuin tahdotaan
että kukas se idiootti oikein olikaan?

Köyden rasvaamisen lopetin
sen menemään paiskasin
Aika jatkaa matkaa
kun pääni nollasin

Joskus tuskainen on tie
joskus sataa kunniaa

Mut on pakko kurkata taas
uuden nurkan taa

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Klamydia's song Mä oon tyhmä are about the singer admitting to being foolish and speaking before thinking. He acknowledges that he has a tendency to say things that he may regret later, but he also takes pride in not being one who holds back. He sings about the possibility of making mistakes and failing, but not allowing that to stop him from living life on his own terms. The lyrics also touch on the idea of conformity, with the singer contrasting his own free-spiritedness with those who choose to live according to societal expectations.

Throughout the song, there is an underlying sense of self-awareness and self-deprecation, with the singer referring to himself as "tyhmä" (dumb) and "hullu" (crazy). However, this is also mixed with a certain sense of defiance, with the singer pushing back against the idea that there is only one way to live life. The chorus, in particular, serves as a rallying cry for those who might feel like they don't quite fit in with the norm: "Mä oon tyhmä, mä oon hullu / tiedän kyllä sen / mutta ootkohan säkään täysillä / mä vähän epäilen".

Line by Line Meaning

Päästän suustani sammakon
I speak without thinking and may say something inappropriate

päästän toisenkin
I continue to speak without considering the consequences

Ja jos hetken vielä kuuntelet
If you listen a bit longer

niin karkaa kolmaskin
I might even say something more foolish

Taas möläytin
Once again, I spoke without thinking

jotain saatan katua myöhemmin
I might regret what I just said later

Mutta tuppisuuksi jäämistä ainakin surisin
But I would regret keeping my mouth shut even more

Ehkä lennän yli laidan
I might take risks and make mistakes

ehkä riman alitan
I might not meet expectations

Mutta ootko ikinä kuullut
But have you ever heard

että siitä valitan?
Me complaining about it?
