TNT Lyrics

[Music: Dag Ingebrigtsen, Lyrics: Dag Ingebrigtsen & Gustav Alfheim]

Du må passe deg for hunder som er ute etter bein
Best å holde seg unna , gå alene.....
Bort fra siklende hunder på jakt etter bein.....

Verst om natten . Nå beinene kryr
Som kåte katter - i sitt eventyr
Elsker om natten - dør når det gryr
(harde fakta - ville elskovsdyr).

Ha aldri døra på gløtt , ikke slipp dem inn i ditt hus
Selv om de ber så søtt kan de gi deg lus.....
Hundene slikker så bløtt , som kattepus.....

Gi dem aldri noe mat , ikke engang et bein




Da blir de fete og late , vil ikke vaske seg rene.....
For de er bare hunder på jakt etter bein.....

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to TNT's song "Eventyr" are a cautionary tale about the dangers of allowing oneself to be vulnerable to those who are only seeking personal gain. The opening lines warn of the hounds who are out to get what is essential and it is best to keep away and go alone to avoid them. The chorus uses a metaphorical comparison between the dogs hunting for bones and the desire of humans for physical pleasure. The lyrics explain how love can be fleeting and that it is crucial to be careful when getting involved with others, as they may have ulterior motives.


The second verse goes on to advise listeners to never let their guard down because those who appear to be friendly and harmless may still have hidden intentions. This is where the metaphor of the dogs licking like cats appears to signify that even those who seem to have nothing to gain may still be after something. Furthermore, the suggestion of not giving in to temptation by feeding hungry dogs could be seen as a parallel to avoiding those who try to manipulate one's vulnerability. All in all, the lyrics of "Eventyr" serve as a warning sign that one should think twice before getting involved with others.
