Klamydia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Olen uurteet kivessä, jotka ihmismeri on tallonut
Sä voit puukottaa mua selkään, sä voit syvään upottaa
Mutta noustessani pintaan huudan lujempaa
Kun tilit tasataan!
Kun tilit tasataan!
Vaikka paska lähtee kengästä, et saa hajua poistumaan
Ja minä näen pimeässä, minä hiljaa odotan
Kunnes koittaa heikko hetkesi, minä maksun suoritan
Kun tilit tasataan!
Kun tilit tasataan!
Kun tilit tasataan
Tilit tasataan is a Finnish song by the punk rock band Klamydia. The title itself means to balance the account or to settle the score. The lyrics of the song are quite reflective and introspective, speaking about being the sum total of all the people one has met in life. The opening lines explain this sentiment quite clearly as the singer acknowledges that they are a sum total of all the people they have met thus far. The next few lines talk about how they are like grooves in a rock that a sea of people have trampled upon.
As the song progresses, the lyrics turn more violent, with the singer acknowledging that they can be stabbed or drowned by others, but they always find a way to rise up and shout louder. The chorus is repeated twice, which emphasizes the importance of balancing the account or settling scores.
In the next few lines, the singer acknowledges that even if one gets rid of the filth from their shoes, the stench remains. They also mention how they quietly wait in the darkness for an opportune moment to strike back when the other is most vulnerable. The singer maintains that when the accounts are settled, they will be on the winning side, and that there will be no need to boast or make a spectacle of it.
Tilit tasataan is a song that speaks about the struggles and fights in life and the need to balance the accounts or settle scores with everyone we meet. The lyrics describe the difficulties we face on a daily basis, and the need to stand up and fight back against anyone who wrongs us.

Olen kaikkien niiden summa, joita olen tavannut
I am the sum of everyone I have met
Olen uurteet kivessä, jotka ihmismeri on tallonut
I am the grooves in the rock that the sea of humanity has trampled
Sä voit puukottaa mua selkään, sä voit syvään upottaa
You can stab me in the back, you can drown me deep
Mutta noustessani pintaan huudan lujempaa
But as I rise to the surface, I shout louder

Vaikka paska lähtee kengästä, et saa hajua poistumaan
Even if the crap comes off your shoe, you can't get rid of the smell
Sinä siihen liukastuit, se sinua kuvottaa
You slipped in it, it disgusts you
Ja minä näen pimeässä, minä hiljaa odotan
And I see in the dark, I wait quietly
Kunnes koittaa heikko hetkesi, minä maksun suoritan
Until your weak moment comes, I will pay back
