Apa
Troublemakers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Står och lider som alla andra
Längst bak i kön har jag landat
Men känner sakta hur jag förvandlas
Nu är jag inne sent omsider
Blandar öl, sprit och cider
Förra veckan blev jag en tiger

Nu är jag en apa...en apa

Står och håller mig hårt i baren
Om några timmar vet jag svaren
När dimman tjocknar blir jag galen





Nu är jag en apa...en apa

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Troublemakers’s song "Apa" describe a transformation that the singer undergoes while drinking at a bar. At first, the singer is at the back of the line, struggling like everyone else. However, as they begin to drink cocktails mixed with beer, spirits, and cider, they feel themselves changing. They become a tiger. Now, as they stand at the bar, gripping it tightly, they are on the cusp of transforming again. They know that within a few hours something will happen, and the fog of alcohol thickens around them. They will become an ape.


The lyrics are a commentary on the impact of alcohol on our behavior and self-image. Through the metaphor of transformation, the song captures the sense of release and wildness that can accompany drinking. However, it also suggests that this state is not entirely positive, and that we can lose control and end up behaving like animals.


Overall, the song is a powerful exploration of the way that alcohol can transform us, for better or for worse.

Står och lider som alla andra
Standing among everyone else and experiencing the same pain and suffering


Längst bak i kön har jag landat
I have ended up at the very back of the line


Men känner sakta hur jag förvandlas
Slowly feeling a transformation happening within me


Nu är jag inne sent omsider
I have finally made it inside


Blandar öl, sprit och cider
Mixing beer, liquor, and cider


Förra veckan blev jag en tiger
Last week I became a tiger


Nu är jag en apa...en apa
Now I am a monkey...a monkey


Står och håller mig hårt i baren
Standing at the bar, holding on tightly


Om några timmar vet jag svaren
In a few hours, I will know the answers


När dimman tjocknar blir jag galen
When the mist thickens, I go crazy


Nu är jag en apa...en apa
Now I am a monkey...a monkey
