When Nadja Evelina now releases music, she does it herself via her own, newly started record company Hjärtat Recordings. With full power over her art, she hopes that her vision is heard more clearly than ever - it must be felt, otherwise it can be. “For me, it felt like a natural step to go completely independent. Since writing is my most important thing, I wanted to be in a position where I can make creative decisions based solely on my own gut feeling. Now I am. It's the scariest and best thing I've ever done. ”
During the spring and summer of 2019, Nadja was out on her "Heartbreak Tour" where she played all over Sweden and also in Norway.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Och det är mörkt men jag vet att dom är solblekta
Var du brukar ha din snusdosa
Om fem minuter ringer mitt alarm
Jag tänker på det efteråt
På hur du sa det som det bara var nåt du kom att tänka på
Hur jag stängde mina ögon
Jag kommer aldrig lära mig ditt nummer
Fast jag vet hur du låter när du sover
För du blir stel när vi råkar träffa dina vänner
Och jag vet vilka piller du äter
Jag går ut med nån från längesen
Och det är kul hur jag nästan lyckas intala mig själv
När jag lämnar henne på dansgolvet
Att jag är inte kär i dig bara en ganska dålig vän
Jag kommer aldrig lära mig ditt nummer
Fast jag vet hur du låter när du sover
För du blir stel när vi råkar träffa dina vänner
Jag kommer aldrig kunna vara den som gör dig bättre
Och jag vet vilka piller du äter
Ah jag vet vilka piller du äter
Och jag vet vilka piller du äter (och jag vet vilka piller du äter)
The lyrics of Nadja Evelina's song "Piller" depict a complicated and bittersweet relationship between two individuals. In the first paragraph, the singer describes a moment where the person they are addressing is putting on their jeans. The mention of the jeans being sun-bleached suggests that these jeans have been worn and loved by the person over time. The reference to the snusdosa (snuffbox) is a personal item indicating familiarity and closeness. Meanwhile, the mention of the alarm ringing in five minutes implies a time limit or constraint on their connection.
Moving on to the second paragraph, the singer reflects on a conversation they had with the person earlier. The person casually mentions something that they came to think of, which left a lasting impact on the singer. It is revealed that the singer closed their eyes while confessing that they also do not feel anything. This suggests an emotional distance between them, possibly a defense mechanism to protect themselves from developing deeper feelings.
In the third paragraph, the singer acknowledges that they will never learn the person's phone number, which indicates a lack of true intimacy. However, they mention how they know what the person sounds like when they sleep, indicating an intimate moment they have shared. The tension between the couple is highlighted when the person becomes rigid or uncomfortable around their mutual friends, implying a strained dynamic. The line "Jag vet vilka piller du äter" (I know what pills you take) suggests that the singer is aware of the person's struggles or coping mechanisms.
In the final paragraph, the singer describes going out with someone from their past and almost convincing themselves that they are not in love with the person they address in the song. The singer declares themselves as just a "ganska dålig vän" (quite a bad friend). This suggests a sense of guilt or dissatisfaction with their role in the relationship. Ultimately, the singer realizes they will never be the one who can make things better for the person they address and reaffirms their understanding of the pills the person takes, indicating an awareness of their struggles.
Overall, "Piller" delves into the complexities and limitations of a romantic connection, highlighting themes of emotional distance, missed opportunities for closeness, and the singer's grasp of the other person's challenges. It paints a picture of a relationship that is both familiar and distant, filled with unspoken emotions and unsolved tensions.
Line by Line Meaning
Du drar upp jeansen över höfterna
You pull up your jeans over your hips
Och det är mörkt men jag vet att dom är solblekta
And it's dark but I know they are sun-bleached
Var du brukar ha din snusdosa
Where you usually keep your snuff box
Om fem minuter ringer mitt alarm
In five minutes my alarm will ring
Jag tänker på det efteråt
I think about it afterwards
På hur du sa det som det bara var nåt du kom att tänka på
On how you said it was just something you happened to think about
Hur jag stängde mina ögon
How I closed my eyes
När jag sa att jag inte heller känner nåt
When I said I don't feel anything either
Jag kommer aldrig lära mig ditt nummer
I will never learn your number
Fast jag vet hur du låter när du sover
But I know how you sound when you sleep
För du blir stel när vi råkar träffa dina vänner
Because you get tense when we accidentally meet your friends
Och jag vet vilka piller du äter
And I know which pills you take
Jag går ut med nån från längesen
I go out with someone from the past
Och det är kul hur jag nästan lyckas intala mig själv
And it's funny how I almost manage to convince myself
När jag lämnar henne på dansgolvet
When I leave her on the dance floor
Att jag är inte kär i dig bara en ganska dålig vän
That I'm not in love with you, just a pretty bad friend
Jag kommer aldrig lära mig ditt nummer
I will never learn your number
Fast jag vet hur du låter när du sover
But I know how you sound when you sleep
För du blir stel när vi råkar träffa dina vänner
Because you get tense when we accidentally meet your friends
Jag kommer aldrig kunna vara den som gör dig bättre
I will never be the one who makes you better
Och jag vet vilka piller du äter
And I know which pills you take
Ah jag vet vilka piller du äter
Ah, I know which pills you take
Och jag vet vilka piller du äter
And I know which pills you take
(och jag vet vilka piller du äter)
(and I know which pills you take)
