Celine
Kristian Anttila Lyrics

The lyrics of Kristian Anttila's song Celine illustrate the singer's fascination with the titular character, whom she follows into a world of glamour, fashion, and superficiality. The repeated phrase "jag följer dig in i dimman" ("I follow you into the mist") suggests a sense of confusion and disorientation, as the singer loses herself in Celine's world. The references to "läpstift och kladdiga baksäten" ("lipstick and sticky back seats") and "hängande tungor" ("hanging tongues") hint at sexual themes, perhaps suggesting that the singer is attracted to Celine's hedonistic lifestyle. Meanwhile, the lines "hej, alla tror dom behöver dig / stop, alla tror dom vill ha dig" ("hey, everyone thinks they need you / stop, everyone thinks they want you") suggest a critique of the superficiality and emptiness of the celebrity culture that Celine represents.

As the song progresses, the singer becomes more entangled in Celine's world. The references to "blixtlås och galapremiarer" ("zippers and galas") suggest that the singer is being swept up in the glamour of the celebrity lifestyle. The line "du trär på mig som en pärla på ditt snöre" ("you string me along like a pearl on your string") implies that the singer is being used by Celine, perhaps as a means of bolstering her own fame and status. The final lines of the song "jag bär dig in i dimman / och fyller drömmar och tittar på / medan ditt vev går sönder" ("I carry you into the mist / and fill dreams while watching / as your mechanism breaks down") suggest that the singer is ultimately left disillusioned by Celine's world, which ultimately proves to be unsustainable and ultimately destructive.
