Thåström Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sist när jag såg dig
Hur kul va det?
Som att gå på sin egen begravning

Sist när jag såg dig
Hur kul va det?
Allt syre i mitt rum tog slut
Sån...Sån
...Sån är du

Så många timmar
Så mycket tid
Som jag snurrar runt i din maskin

Så mycket dynga
Så mycket skit
Som jag skyfflat runt i din fabrik

Kom aldrig för nära
Kom aldrig hit igen
Tro aldrig att du nånsin é min vän

Håll dig långt, långt borta




Långt ifrån mig
Du är lika snäll som heroin

Overall Meaning

In Thåström's song "Sån," the lyrics refer to an interaction with someone that left the singer feeling drained and deadened, likening it to the experience of attending one's own funeral. This sentiment is conveyed in the repeated questioning of the last time the singer saw the person and how much fun it was, with the suggestion that it was not enjoyable at all. This negative experience is further emphasized by the image of all the oxygen leaving the room, metaphorically suffocating the singer. The chorus "Sån...Sån ...Sån är du" underscores the idea that the person in question is toxic and draining.


The verses of the song add to this impression by describing the abundant time and energy the singer has wasted on the person, likening it to running on a hamster wheel in a machine that is controlled by the other person. The imagery further transforms into that of being surrounded by garbage in a factory, suggesting that the interaction has become a noxious and meaningless cycle. The mandate to never come close and to not pretend to be a friend underscores the final bleak sentiment that the other person is like a deadly drug.
