Read Full Bio ↴Truckfighters is a stoner rock band from Örebro, Sweden, formed in 2001.
After releasing several demos in 2001 and 2002, they recorded a split-EP with local Swedish band Firestone in 2003. In 2005 they released their debut album Gravity X on both MeteorCity Records and Fuzzorama Records. Their follow-up album, Phi, was released in 2007 by Poison Tree Records in the U.S. and on the Fuzzorama label elsewhere. Their latest album, V, was released on September 30, 2016.
Their sound has been described as classic desert rock, similar to bands like Dozer, Fu Manchu (with whom they have toured), and Kyuss. They have been featured on the MTV Sweden show "Fuzz"
The film Truckfighters by Joerg Steineck and Christian Maciejewski portrays the band's life. It was released in December 2011 and features interviews with Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age. The film provides an ironic, entertaining view of the three "ordinary" guys who transform into Fuzz Monsters onstage.

* Ozo (Oskar Cedermalm) - vocals and bass

Truckfighters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Move further down the shore (?)
Feels like you're falling in a hole
Far away from your soul
I just can't get you away from your life
So been through this once before
Stop with hard things that you do (?)
You're yearning to soar (?)
I just can't get you away from your life
I just can't get you away
So you've been down this road
This is the end (?)
The lyrics to Truckfighters' song Nitro seem to be about going through a difficult time in life, feeling lost and disconnected from one's true self. The opening lines, "So been down this road before, move further down the shore," suggest that the singer has been through similar struggles before, but this time it feels like they're sinking deeper into despair. They feel like they're falling into a hole, far away from their soul, and they can't seem to escape the darkness.
The chorus repeats the line "I just can't get you away from your life," which could suggest that the singer is trying to help someone who is struggling, but they can't seem to break through to them. The second verse continues in this vein, with lines like "Stop with hard things that you do, you're yearning to soar," indicating that the person in question is doing things that are holding them back, but they want to break free and achieve something greater.
The final line, "This is the end," adds a note of finality to the song, hinting that the struggle may not have a happy ending. Overall, Nitro is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the difficulty of finding one's way in life and the importance of reaching out to others for help.
