Medströms
Movits! feat. Chords Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

kan va en simpel bakfylla
simpel utfyllnad
blodet pumpar hjärtat slår civil olydnad
kanske inte den som tänder tänstickan
kanske inte den som tänder tänstickan
nävarna i luften svarta pantrar
gömmer mina vad som än händer i svarta handskar
långt ner i fickan lika djupt som alla andra
glider med i strömmen o vi flyter på varandra
ovanpå nån annan
i livets rollercoaster
vi kanske borde switcha upp våra roller
så den som legat under hamnar ovan molnen
som hela landet blivit till en fågel från en
Svensk tiger,
mer som en kolibri
bara lite mindre
Vill inte vara som dig
väljer kappan efter vinden




men glider nog med i strömmen
vart än älvjäveln rinnerå

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Movits! ft Chords's song Medströms delve into the complexities of life, reflecting on the ups and downs and the choices we make along the way. The opening lines talk about a simple hangover or a simple filler, indicating a state of physical numbness or complacency. However, the lyrics then take a deeper turn, exploring the idea of civil disobedience and the thought of being a catalyst in igniting change. The lines "maybe not the one who lights the matchstick, fists in the air black panthers" allude to the idea of being a part of a larger movement, where one may not necessarily be the one who initiates the change, but collectively the energy builds up and creates waves of transformation.


The verses also talk about hiding behind black gloves and being a part of the masses where everyone is flowing along, trying to fit in. The idea of switching roles and changing the dynamics of society is suggested when the lyrics say, "maybe we should switch up our roles so that the ones who were under get elevated to the skies." The verse ends with the lyrics talking about being like a hummingbird, wanting to fly away and be different from everybody else, but still feeling like one is getting carried away by the flow of life's currents.


Overall, the song Medströms is about reflecting upon one's place in life. It is about questioning the status quo and thinking about how one can contribute to making a change for the better.
