Popeda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rasittuneet niitit helisee
Oon okei, oon alright, sen sä tahdoit kuulla kai
En mä itselleni pahaa tee
Vaikka siihen luonto viettelee
Pysyn kyllä kasassa, kun sä jaksat hoivata
Sä sovitat mun pulttiin mutterin
Oon okei, oon alright, sen sä tahdoit kuulla kai
Mut silloin enemmän mä narrasin
(Joo) Silloin enemmän mä narrasin
refrain:
Silmissäsi kerran omat silmäni mä näin
Näin ne kauhut, jotka luulin pitäväni sisälläin
Sä näät mun läpi, luet kuin kirjaa, ei otsikoita vaan
Niinkuin kirjaa viipyen, kun joka sanat funtsitaan
Tosissaan
Kanssas sun, viisastun
Se johtuu ehkä siitä kun vaivatta meet suoraan asiaan
Oon okei, oon alright, sen sä tahdoit kuulla kai
En mä itselleni pahaa tee
Vaikka siihen luonto viettelee
Vaikka siihen luonto viettelee
refrain
Rakkaus on kamaa Jumalan
Ja mä Jumalaa rakastan
Oon okei, oon alright, sen sä tahdoit kuulla kai
En mä itselleni pahaa tee
Vaikka siihen luonto viettelee
Vaikka siihen luonto viettelee
The lyrics of Popeda's "Allright" have a deeper meaning beyond their surface. The song talks about a character who is trying to convince themselves that everything is okay despite being under a state of distress. This is indicated by the first few lines where the singer talks about their throat being choked up and the sounds being raspy. However, the person tries to deny their situation by saying that they are okay, and they are not doing themselves any harm despite being pushed to their limits by their nature. They seek the help of someone else to keep them grounded, equating it to fitting a bolt to a nut, to remind them that everything is alright. The person acknowledges that they have said these words before, but they seem to mean it this time.
The song's central theme is the power of love and how it can bring comfort in moments of distress. The singer talks about the moments they spent with their partner, which resulted in them learning and growing from each other. The person seems to confide in their partner, who can read their thoughts about their state of mind without any prompting. The singer talks about the calming effect that the person has on them, and how they have learned from them.
Overall, Popeda's "Allright" comes off as a song of comfort and reassurance. Despite the person's inner turmoil, they can find comfort in the love of their partner.

Mun kaasari on tukossa, sen kuulee soundista
My carburetor is clogged, its sound can be heard
Rasittuneet niitit helisee
Worn out nails are jingling
Oon okei, oon alright, sen sä tahdoit kuulla kai
I'm okay, I'm alright, you wanted to hear that
En mä itselleni pahaa tee
I'm not harming myself
Vaikka siihen luonto viettelee
Even though nature tempts me to do so
Pysyn kyllä kasassa, kun sä jaksat hoivata
I'll stay together, as long as you keep caring for me
Sä sovitat mun pulttiin mutterin
You fit the nut onto my bolt
Oon tainnut väittää samaa ennenkin
I've probably said the same thing before
Mut silloin enemmän mä narrasin
But then I was more bluffing
Silmissäsi kerran omat silmäni mä näin
Once I saw my own eyes in yours
Näin ne kauhut, jotka luulin pitäväni sisälläin
I saw the horrors that I thought I was keeping inside
Sä näät mun läpi, luet kuin kirjaa, ei otsikoita vaan
You see through me, you read me like a book, not just the headlines
Niinkuin kirjaa viipyen, kun joka sanat funtsitaan
Like a book, while every word is pondered over
Tosissaan
Seriously
Kanssas sun, viisastun
With you, I become wiser
Se johtuu ehkä siitä kun vaivatta meet suoraan asiaan
Perhaps it's because you effortlessly get straight to the point
Rakkaus on kamaa Jumalan
Love is a substance of God
Ja mä Jumalaa rakastan
And I love God
Vaikka siihen luonto viettelee
Even though nature tempts me to do otherwise
