Kastalskolan 9E
Sibiria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
För nu hör jag hennes röst
Någonstans, ett annat rum
Är så less på att låtsas
Låtsas lyssna på dig
Vulgära du
Gömmer mig
Har bättre smak än att synas med dig
Varför slösar jag tid på vackra män
Som inte bryr sig om dig?
Idag är vi äldre
Skolan är inte längre din
Jag var ful, nu är du fulare
I samma tröja nu som då
Sämst på test men bäst på fest
Tidens tand
Den verkar bita oss olika hårt
Jag är ung, du är vissen och grå
Och jävla Östersund, vad gör jag här?
Vad gör jag här?
Idag är vi äldre
Skolan är inte längre din
Jag var ful, nu är du fulare
I samma tröja nu som då
Sämst på test men bäst på fest
Du var sämst på test men bäst på...
Jävla Östersund
Vad gör jag här?
Vad gör jag här?
Jävla Östersund
Vad gör jag här?
Vad gör jag här?
The lyrics of Sibiria's song "Kastalskolan 9E" convey a mix of emotions and observations about growing up and moving on from a past relationship, with a touch of self-reflection and nostalgia.
The first verse begins with a feeling of silence and detachment. The singer expresses being tired of pretending and faking interest, specifically towards someone vulgar. They feel the need to hide and mention the possibility of someone else looking their way, suggesting a desire for a connection with someone who has better taste and morals. The line "Vulgära du" further emphasizes the singer's dissatisfaction with the person they are addressing.
In the second verse, the focus shifts to the passage of time and the changing dynamics between the singer and the person they are talking about. The lyrics suggest that the singer and the person in question are older now and no longer in school, indicating a sense of moving on and leaving the past behind. The singer reflects on their past insecurities, stating that they used to be unattractive but now find the other person even less attractive than before. The mention of wearing the same shirt suggests a connection to their shared past.
The chorus, "Sämst på test men bäst på fest," highlights a playful contradiction. It implies that the singer may not perform well academically but excels at enjoying themselves during social gatherings and parties. This could be seen as a form of self-acceptance and a celebration of the moments outside the confines of the school environment.
The final verse reintroduces the theme of time, emphasizing the contrast between the singer's youthfulness and the other person's apparent decline. The mention of Östersund, a specific location, further enhances the feeling of displacement and questioning. The repeated line "Vad gör jag här?" expresses the singer's confusion and uncertainty about their current circumstances and decisions. It suggests a feeling of being trapped or having made a wrong choice.
Overall, the lyrics of "Kastalskolan 9E" capture a range of emotions and observations about growing up, moving on, and reflecting on past relationships. The song's themes of self-reflection, detachment, and uncertainty give it a sense of depth and introspection.
