Keskusta
Sydän sydän Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Metro liukuu raiteillaan,
on vielä valoisaa.
Kuuntelen naureskellen kun juopot riitelee.

Nyt aion juhlia,
matkustan pummilla.
En tahdo Kontulaan,
tahdon keskustaan!

Tahdon keskustaan!

Taktiikkana on poistua,
jos ilta on jo menetetty.
Muttei tänään!

Ajattele sitä,
se on menoa nyt,
jos mietit vain itseäsi.
Ajattele, ajattele sitä,
et muutu koskaan.

Löydänkö mustan tien vartoilevan armaani luo?
Säälittävää on tuo nyyhkiminen itsensä vuoksi.

En tahdo pinnalle vaan käydä pohjalla.
En tahdo huipulle vaan löytää juureni.
En tahdo kehälle, en tahdo laidoille.

En tahdo Vallilaan, tahdon keskustaan!
Tahdon keskustaan!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sydän Sydän's song "Keskusta" describe a night out in Helsinki. The song starts with the singer on a metro train, listening to drunk people arguing while it's still light outside. The singer then declares their intention to party and travel for free by hitchhiking, expressing a desire to go to the city center instead of Kontula, which is a suburb in eastern Helsinki.

The chorus repeats the line "Tahdon keskustaan!" (I want to go to the city center!), reflecting the singer's longing for the vibrant nightlife of Helsinki's central district. The song then takes a reflective turn, with the singer acknowledging a common strategy of leaving when the night is lost but deciding to stay out this time. The final verse expresses a desire to explore the depths of life and find roots, rejecting superficiality and the idea of just thinking about oneself. The song's overall mood is bittersweet, capturing the excitement and disillusionment of going out in the city.

Overall, "Keskusta" is a melancholic ode to Helsinki's nightlife and the longing for deeper connections amidst the seemingly shallow party scene.

Line by Line Meaning

Metro liukuu raiteillaan, on vielä valoisaa.
The metro glides on its tracks, it's still light out.

Kuuntelen naureskellen kun juopot riitelee.
I listen and laugh as the drunks fight.

Nyt aion juhlia, matkustan pummilla.
I'm going to party and ride for free.

En tahdo Kontulaan, tahdon keskustaan! Tahdon keskustaan!
I don't want to go to Kontula, I want to go downtown! I want downtown!

Taktiikkana on poistua, jos ilta on jo menetetty. Muttei tänään!
The tactic is to leave if the night's already lost. But not tonight!

Ajattele sitä, se on menoa nyt, jos mietit vain itseäsi.
Think about it, it's going down now if you only think of yourself.

Ajattele, ajattele sitä, et muutu koskaan.
Think, think about how you'll never change.

Löydänkö mustan tien vartoilevan armaani luo? Säälittävää on tuo nyyhkiminen itsensä vuoksi.
Will I find the dark path to my waiting lover? It's pathetic to cry for yourself.

En tahdo pinnalle vaan käydä pohjalla.
I don't want to rise to the surface, I want to go down deep.

En tahdo huipulle vaan löytää juureni.
I don't want to climb to the top, I want to find my roots.

En tahdo kehälle, en tahdo laidoille.
I don't want to be on the outskirts or the sidelines.

En tahdo Vallilaan, tahdon keskustaan! Tahdon keskustaan!
I don't want Vallila, I want downtown! I want downtown!

zombie crew inc. I’m 2 years late but here you go!

Metro flows on it’s tracks
It’s still bright
I’m laughing as the drunk men fight

Now I’m gonna party
I’m gonna travel without paying
I don’t wanna go to Kontula!
I wanna go downtown!

I wanna go downtown!

The tactic is to get off
If the night is already lost
But not today!

Think about it
It’s gonna get crazy
If you only think about yourself
Think about it, think
You never change

Will I find the black road towards my darling?
It’s pathetic to cry because yourself

I don’t want to the top I want to visit the pit
I don’t want to the top I want to find my roots
I don’t want into the circle, I don’t want into the sides
I don’t wanna go to Vallila, I wanna go downtown!
I wanna go downtown!
