During a session with only him and the guitar, Andreas came up with the idea of starting a project playing only instrumental songs. He started adding vocals to some of the songs. This turned out to sound great. The first set up of the band was formed during Christmas 2001. Their first gig was held at The Tivoli, Helsingborg in early January of 2002 in connection to a music competition. Niccokick lost in their first contribution. In April of 2002 the first demo was made and sent around to a bunch of people. Good results for project: "Niccokick"! The demo was picked up by some great Swedish music magazines, such as Groove, Nöjesguiden and Sonic. The band performed a handful of gigs during the summer and recorded "Demo 2" on a portable recorder. "Demo 2" includes a tribute-song to the Swedish composer Georg Riedel, based upon one of his finest melodies. During autumn of 2002, Niccokick started the recordings of their third demo, simply named "Demo 3". During this period Andreas also fixed gigs in a very special kind of way. He send nine different songs, in various envelops, every two weeks for four months to Sweden's most respected festival: Emmaboda Festival. Each envelop was marked with only one letter, first N, then I and so on. That would build "NICCOKICK" after nine received envelops. The band was booked to the Emmaboda Festival of 2003. During that period Andreas also send a demo to one of Sweden's most wanted producers, Ronald Bood. After a month, Andreas called him and wanted his thoughts about Niccokick. He hadn't have the time to listen. But during the recording of "Demo 3" there was a phone call from Ronald. - I've listened to the demo. You sound good. Ronald Bood got even more impressed when he got to hear "Demo 3". - We just have to put out a record! Ronald says in their next talk. After a bunch of gigs, three EP:s and a producer that believes in their music, Niccokick is ready to save the world with their fragile pop that would make Neil Young and Stephen Malkmus faint of envy.

Niccokick Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I jumped on a train last night
It took me nowhere
I'm on my way back home again
I jumped the edge last night
Tried to kill myself
But I changed my mind yeah
Oh Yeah
People say that I'm OK
But I don't care of what they say
People say that it's alright
If I just fade into the light
I kill time one day
Cause I am a mess
I can't change my mind yeah
I can't change my mind
I can't change my mind
I can't change my mind
I can't change my mind
I was caught by the fuzz last night
They hit me so hard so I hit them back and
Everything went black and
(Everything went black and)
I'm on the run agaaaaain
Again... Again.... Again Again
I jumped on a train last night
It took me nowhere
I'm on my way back home again
I jumped the edge last night
Tried to kill myself
But I changed my mind yeah




(I can't change my mind)
(I can't change my mind yeahaaaa)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Niccokick's "Run Run Run" describe the inner turmoil and struggles of the song's protagonist. The opening lines, "I jumped on a train last night, it took me nowhere" introduce the feeling of being lost and not knowing where to go. The line "I'm on my way back home again" suggests a desire to find a sense of belonging and familiarity. However, this desire is accompanied by a sense of hopelessness and desperation, exemplified in the line "Tried to kill myself, but I changed my mind yeah".


Throughout the song, the singer seems to be struggling with their mental health, with lines like "People say that I'm okay, but I don't care of what they say" suggesting a disconnect from others and a lack of understanding. The line "If I just fade into the light" alludes to the idea of giving up and succumbing to depression or suicidal thoughts. The chorus repeats the words "I can't change my mind" multiple times, illustrating the feeling of being trapped in one's own thoughts and unable to break free.


The song takes a darker turn towards the end, with the singer stating that they were "caught by the fuzz" and ended up fighting off the police, leading to everything going black. The repetition of the word "again" suggests a cycle of self-destructive behavior and a feeling of hopelessness at ever being able to get out of it.


Overall, "Run Run Run" is a powerful representation of the struggles of mental health and the difficulty of breaking free from one's own thoughts.
