Sementtiin
Klamydia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tai patriootti vajaavainen, tai ihan kuka vaa jolla tyhjää potkuttaa.
Joka ihminen on kai laulun arvoinen, mut joskus tekis mieli kirvestä käyttää
Ja pläjäyttää, ihan mihin vaan, pääasia että satuttaa
Niin niin niin, vala natsi sementtiin
Niin niin niin, potki paikkaan intiimiin
Joka ihminen on kai laulun arvoinen, mut joskus tekis mieli kirvestä käyttää
Ja pläjäyttää, ihan mihin vaan, pääasia että satuttaa
Niin niin niin, vala natsi sementtiin
Niin niin niin, potki paikkaan intiimiin
Niin niin niin, vala natsi sementtiin
Niin niin niin, potki paikkaan intiimiin
The lyrics to the song "Sementtiin" by Klamydia are a commentary on the nature of human aggression and the desire for revenge. The song begins by addressing the listener, suggesting that they may be a member of one of several different groups – a "natsi" (Nazi), "kapiainen" (a derogatory term for a member of the military), or "arjalainen" (a reference to a hypothetical race of Indo-European origin) – but that ultimately, everyone is capable of being subjected to the same kind of cruelty.
The second verse continues this theme, with the singer acknowledging that every person is "worthy of a song," but that sometimes it is tempting to resort to violence instead, just to make someone feel pain. The chorus provides a specific suggestion for how to deal with the singer's desire for retribution: "vala natsi sementtiin" ("pour concrete on the Nazi"), and "potki paikkaan intiimiin" ("kick them in an intimate place"). These lines are repeated twice, emphasizing the singer's determination to inflict bodily harm on someone who has wronged them.
Overall, "Sementtiin" is a confrontational and aggressive song that encourages the listener to embrace their darkest impulses when it comes to revenge. The lyrics are meant to shock and provoke, and the repeated chorus reinforces the idea that violence is sometimes the best (or only) answer to a perceived injustice.
