Rotta
Protoni Lyrics

The lyrics of "Rotta" by Protoni describe the feeling of chasing something that always seems to be just out of reach. The first line, "Jos juoksee kovempaa kuin muut voi vastaan tulla avaruus" (If you run faster than others, space may come towards you), suggests that if one pushes themselves too hard, they may end up feeling lost and insignificant in the vastness of the universe. The following lines, "Päättymätön tyhjyys joka heijastaa sun elämää / Sä tiedät ettet milloinkaan voi kiinni saada maailmaa" (An endless emptiness that reflects your life / You know that you can never catch the world), further illustrate this sense of futility and existential dread.

The chorus of the song, "Voit juosta minne haluat olen sua vastassa / Tiedäthän että voitan / Voitan aina / Olen mitä haluan" (You can run wherever you want, I'll be there waiting for you / You know that I win / I always win / I am what I want), presents a sense of determination and confidence, but also implies a certain amount of ruthlessness, as if the subject of the song is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. The final line, "Katso jo taaksepäin niin tiedät mitä saat" (Look back now and you'll know what you get), suggests that hindsight is 20/20 – only by reflecting on past mistakes and successes can one truly understand what they have gained or lost.
