Soon there was a bunch of songs that turned out to be straight forward, strange and good. Daniel Cordero from big brother LOK, plus Ian-Paolo Lira and Max Flövik from cousin Rallypack were soon a part of the band, and then they were four.
One small and fat guy
One short, fat and hairy guy
One short and fat guy from Chile
One short, fat and white guy from Chile.
Now it was time. Now Lillasyster has woken and she isn’t in a good fucking mood. No one has humiliated mainstream music like this, since big bro dirtied down the Scandinavian country. It won't be any better this time, and the music virus has been spread.
Hang on: now the ride starts.

Roar
Lillasyster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sit quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything
You held me down, but I got up
You hear my voice, your hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready cause Ive had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
Cause I am a champion and youre gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
Cause I am a champion and youre gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Youre gonna hear me roar
Now Im floatin like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero
You held me down, but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, your hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake the ground
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready cause Ive had enough
I see it all, I see it now
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
Cause I am a champion and youre gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
Cause I am a champion and youre gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Youre gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Youre gonna hear me roar
Roar-or, roar-or, roar-or
I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing through the fire
Cause I am a champion and youre gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
Cause I am a champion and youre gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Youre gonna hear me roar
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Youre gonna hear me roar
The song “Roar” by Lillasyster is an anthem of empowerment and self-assertion. The opening verse talks about a girl who used to be reserved, quiet and submissive, not wanting to cause any disturbance in the boat. She has always agreed to things politely without realizing that she had a choice. This indicates that the girl has been pushed down by someone, and she has let them do it for too long.
However, things have changed now, and the girl has found her voice. She has had enough of being pushed around and held down; she is ready to roar as she lets the world hear her voice. Lillasyster unleashes her inner fighter, determined to make an impact in her life, and shake the ground with her roar. By coming to her own rescue, she feels that she has now become a champion, the savior of her own life. She is now a fighter and dancing through the fire, ready to face whatever challenge life throws her way.
The chorus of “Roar” is a powerful reminder of the girl’s resolution to shine like a star, to be heard, respected, and feared. Her roar resounds louder than a lion’s, and this signifies that Lillasyster has come of age, no longer to be held down by anyone. Regardless of whether she stings like a bee or floats like a butterfly, she has transformed into a hero, someone who can save herself from any storm that comes her way.

This is both rocking, and touching. Showing your appreciation by covering a song not even of your genre, and your humanity by putting such a meaning behind your video. Well done friends, I just subscribed.

Was thinking "you know what? Roar would sound so much cooler with a more 'rock' vibe" and went looking for a cover. Didnt have to look far. This is awesome.
