Fastkjedjad nio till fem
Fast i systemets råtthjul

Ett liv i frihet i botten av flaskan

Jag orkar fan inte mer
Inget e värt ett skit




Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Skitsystem's song Ett liv i frihet reflect a sense of hopelessness and entrapment within society and its systems. The first two lines paint a picture of feeling trapped within a nine to five job and being caught in the cycle of the rat race. The subsequent line, "A life in freedom at the bottom of the bottle", suggests that the only form of escape or freedom that may be felt is through alcohol abuse. The last line, "I can't take it anymore, nothing is worth shit", perhaps speaks to the overall sense of despair and disillusionment felt by the singer, who sees no value in their life or existence within the system that has entrapped them.


The song's portrayal of systemic entrapment and the need for escape through self-destructive behaviors, such as alcoholism, resonates with many individuals who may feel similarly trapped and hopeless within their own lives. Skitsystem's punk rock sound and rebellious attitude toward oppressive systems further adds to the visceral and raw emotion that underlies the lyrics.
