The group have been given the label "super group", because all the members have a background in other well known bands from Bergen, like Pogo Pops, Barbie Bones and Chocolate Overdose. However, the members say they're just "some buddies who like the same music".

Popium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So many folks come from all around
It sounds like music coming around the bend
Feels like I'm one step closer to meet my Maker again [x2]
Well here I am, just an ordinary man
I hold on tight to whatever's in my hand
I'll tell you slowly, so you might understand
Well I'm one step closer to meet my Maker again
And it's gonna be a lot of fun
I'll keep on going 'til I'm gone
This crazy world, it turns me on and on and on
So check it out, what it's all about
It makes me sing, it makes me twist and shout
It takes control of the heart of every man
Feels like I'm one step closer to meet my Maker again [x2]
And here I go, I let the music flow
It picks me up every time I'm feeling low
And I don't mind if we're getting near the end
Feels like I'm one step closer to meet my Maker again [x2]
Well I'm one step closer to meet my Maker again
And it's gonna be a lot of fun
I'll keep on going 'til I'm gone
This crazy world, it turns me on and on and on
