Hetta
Tant Strul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
på regniga grå gator
vassa blickar träffar din kropp
men din stolthet slår dom tillbaka
Du dansar med huvudet högt
du dansar
som slåss med svarta fasader
Du dansar med huvudet högt
du dansar
Din hetta värmer din kropp
din hetta värmer din kropp
din hetta värmer din kropp
din hetta värmer din kropp
När ingen längre älskar
finns din kärlek kvar
ditt hat är lika rent och klart
som åtrår i dina ögon
Ditt hjärta är ett öppet sår
naket med rött blod
du vet att liv är blod
du vet att liv är blod
Din hetta värmer din kropp...
Du dansar med huvudet högt
på regniga grå gator
när ingen längre älskar
Din hetta värmer din kropp...
The lyrics to "Hetta" by Tant Strul depict a person who is dancing with their head held high on the rainy and grey streets despite being subjected to sharp looks. They are able to deflect negativity with their pride and confidence. The sound of their voice echoes against the buildings, which fight against the dark facades. The person's passion warms their body, filling it with heat that seems to emanate from within. Even when they no longer feel loved, they know that their love remains. They carry both love and hate with equal intensity in their heart, and they understand that life is blood, which is the source of all emotion and energy.
The song's compelling lyrics are a tribute to strength and resilience in the face of adversity. It emphasizes the importance of self-validation, of refusing to let the judgment of others define one's self-worth. The person in the song dances with their head held high and their heart on their sleeve, unashamedly and ardently living their life to the fullest. The song is about the heat that emanates from within us, a passion that fuels us to keep going even when we have nothing left.
