Klamydia Lyrics

Kertoen
Salaisuuden
Sulle uskoutuen
Suhun luottaen
Aukaisee
Sydämensä
Sä nauroit kusta sisään heittäen
Nyt hän matkaa jatkaa

Yrittää omillaan
Niin pettyneenä
Vain iva ja pilkka seuranaan

Tiedän sun nimesi
Mä tiedän sun nimesi
Mä tiedän oikeen nimesi:
Sä oot Petturi
Mä tiedän sun nimesi
Mä tiedän oikeen nimesi:
Sä oot Petturi

Silmäs heijastaa luottamusta
Kasvos vilpittömät sitä todistaa
Ei sitä tiedä
Ei sitä heti arvaa
Millaista mätäpaisetta tuijotankaan
Ja taas joku sulle maalaa sielunsa maisemaa
Löytää poistuessaan polttomerkin otsastaan

Tiedän sun nimesi
Mä tiedän sun nimesi
Mä tiedän oikeen nimesi:
Sä oot Petturi
Mä tiedän sun nimesi
Mä tiedän sun nimesi
Mä tiedän oikeen nimesi:
Sä oot Petturi

Mä tiedän sun nimesi (6x)

Petturiii

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Klamydia's song "Petturi" describe the betrayal of trust in a relationship. The singer shares a secret with their partner, opens up their heart and trusts them completely, only to be laughed at and dismissed. The partner then continues their journey alone, while the singer is left feeling disappointed and mocked. The chorus reveals that the singer knows the true identity of their partner - they are a traitor. The second verse describes how the partner's appearance and body language can deceive, making it difficult to detect the darkness within. The verse concludes with the image of someone leaving an indelible mark on their forehead, indicating their true nature.

Overall, the message of "Petturi" is one of caution to the listener - to be wary of those who may appear trustworthy but ultimately betray us. The song also conveys a sense of hurt and anger towards the traitorous partner, who was supposed to be a source of comfort and support but instead caused pain.
