Et barn af min tid
The Minds of 99 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Skiderikker holder mig fast
Knækker mine tanker
Og jeg lader, som om jeg ikke lider overlast
Men de knækker mine tanker

Skiderikker lægger mig ned
Spænder mine ben
Jeg vender indad, jeg spørg', hvad kan jeg gør'?
Hvis de ik' stjæler mine tanker
Her i morges der havde jeg en drøm
En af dem der sagd' mig, det ik' ku' blive ved
En af dem der rykkede min fantasi fra A til B
Den gav mig selvtillid, jeg blev et barn af min tid
Jaer
Et barn af min tid
Den gav mig selvtillid
Her i morges der havde jeg en drøm
En af dem der sagd' mig, det ik' ku' blive ved
En af dem der rykkede min fantasi fra A til B
Den gav mig selvtillid, jeg blev et barn af min tid

Og jeg kom ud af mit hjem
Og jeg kom ud af min krop
Og jeg kom ud af mit hjem
Og jeg kom ud af min krop




Og pluds'lig rykkede jeg den fra A til B
Den gav mig selvtillid, jeg blev et barn af min tid

Overall Meaning

In the song "Et barn af min tid" by The Minds of 99, the lead singer describes a struggle with inner demons, which they refer to as "skiderikker." The demons are holding the singer down, breaking their thoughts, and stealing their ideas. The singer feels like they are not in control and are being forced to comply with the skiderikker's demands. However, the singer has a dream that gives them confidence and shows them the power of their imagination. The dream inspires the singer to be a child of their own time and write their own reality.


The song's lyrics are deeply personal and describe a common struggle with self-doubt and insecurities. The skiderikker represents the fears and doubts that can consume a person's mind and hold them back from achieving their goals. Through the dream, the singer finds the confidence to break free from these restraints and become a "barn af min tid," or a child of their own time. This gives the singer the courage to take control of their thoughts and life, and stop letting the skiderikker hold them back.

Skiderikker holder mig fast
Negative thoughts and emotions hold me back


Knækker mine tanker
They break my thoughts and bring me down


Og jeg lader, som om jeg ikke lider overlast
I pretend that their impact doesn't affect me


Men de knækker mine tanker
But in reality, they break my thoughts

Negative thoughts bring me down


Spænder mine ben
They hold me back from moving forward


Jeg vender indad, jeg spørg', hvad kan jeg gør'?
I turn inward and question what I can do about it


Hvis de ik' stjæler mine tanker
If they don't steal my thoughts


Her i morges der havde jeg en drøm
This morning, I had a dream


En af dem der sagd' mig, det ik' ku' blive ved
One that told me it couldn't go on like this


En af dem der rykkede min fantasi fra A til B

Jaer
Yeah


Et barn af min tid
A child of my time


Og jeg kom ud af mit hjem
And I stepped out of my home


Og jeg kom ud af min krop
And I stepped out of my body


Og pluds'lig rykkede jeg den fra A til B
And suddenly, I shifted it from one place to another


Den gav mig selvtillid, jeg blev et barn af min tid
It gave me confidence, I became a child of my time
