skjemde
Side Brok Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Du he'kje noke å vere skjemde ta 5x

Om det e, nynorsk eller gammale sandskrift
Prask og pramfri skjønskrift eller kjønnsdrift
Om du e fanga i limbo
Manga libido
Heldig i kjærleik eller dritgod
I bringo snakka lingo som en bimbo
Avdanka sterne som Ringo
Om musikken e stoppa
Og lyset er slått a'
Om kroppan sikraa opp snitta
Om det e flotta, eller hitta
Så husk det e'kje drit alt så glitra
Om d lika el cako, elle el Aksel
Om du stresser koffert eller garasjen
Eller om du vert godtatt
Om du e Mozart Borat, advokat, ho vart
På vitamita eller prosa motsatt
Kanskje du va det sjøl
Utta å verte motsagt

Smak og behag
Smart og bedrag
Det e kvardag frå daggry til daggry




Det e sånn det e i kvar bygd og kvar by
Skade fryd og gammen i vinden

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Side Brok's song "skjemde" convey a message of acceptance and encouragement for individuals to embrace their uniqueness and not be ashamed of it. The repeated phrase "Du he'kje noke å vere skjemde ta" (You have nothing to be ashamed of) reinforces this idea throughout the song. The lyrics touch on various aspects of one's personal identity, such as language, sexual orientation, relationship status, and career, to name a few.


The first few lines of the song mention the various writing styles and forms, including nynorsk and gammale sandskrift, highlighting how the song is not just for a particular group of people but for everyone. The words "prask og pramfri" and "kjønnsdrift" suggest that being vocal about one's sexual desires is also something to be proud of. The lyrics also acknowledge that one can be caught in a state of uncertainty, both in terms of their sexuality and relationships, but that ultimately, it should not lead to shame.


The song further touches on how one's profession or career may be viewed by society, be it as glamorous or underwhelming, but that it is essential to be proud of what one does. The words "avdanka sterne" refer to former stars or celebrities that may have been forgotten over time, highlighting the fleeting nature of fame. The song also enforces the idea that being accepted by others is not the key to finding happiness, as individuals should be content with who they are rather than trying to be accepted and liked by society.


Overall, Side Brok's "skjemde" is a powerful message of self-love and acceptance, encouraging individuals to embrace their uniqueness without fear or shame.
