Vanilla Ninja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mis keerlevad peas.
On nnda hullumeelne melda,
Kuid elda ei saa.
Nd olen prane kui tormgi,
Mis laastab kui saab.
Nii seiklen lbi ,
Vaid nii on hea.
Ja selles linnas rohkem mind ei ne.
Ma oleksin kui pikse poole teel
Ses klmas s.
Homseks olen kadunud su teelt
Ja selles linnas rohkem mind ei ne.
Ei iial enam haiget mulle tee
Su heitlik meel
Nd annan veidi rohkem gaasi,
Vaid kiirus mind peab.
Kui vihmapiisad tuuleklaasil
Nii ekslen, kuid tean
Ma rikun seadust, lhun tundeid
Ja lollusi teen.
Mind viksid peatada,
Kuid nii sa ei tee.
Homseks olen kadunud te teelt
Ja selles linnas rohkem mind ei ne.
Ma oleksin kui pikse poole teel
Ses klmas s.
Homseks olen kadunud su teelt
Ja selles linnas rohkem mind ei ne.
Ei iial enam haiget mulle tee
Su heitlik meel
Homseks olen kadunud te teelt
Ja selles linnas rohkem mind ei ne.
Ma oleksin kui pikse poole teel
Ses klmas s.
Homseks olen kadunud su teelt
Ja selles linnas rohkem mind ei ne.
Ei iial enam haiget mulle tee
Su heitlik meel
The lyrics of Vanilla Ninja's song "Purunematu" speak of the feeling of being lost and seeking escape from a difficult situation. The singer is overwhelmed by their own thoughts, unable to articulate them but feeling like a storm that destroys everything in its wake. They long to be free from the pain caused by someone with a volatile personality, someone whose mood swings are unpredictable and hurtful.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is in a state of rebellion against societal norms and rules, as they "break laws and do stupid things" to get by. They are on a journey to escape their troubles, possibly by leaving their current city and starting anew somewhere else. The idea of being like lightning on the way to a distant goal in a cold storm underscores the sense of urgency and purpose driving the singer.
Overall, "Purunematu" conveys a sense of restlessness and longing for freedom, set against the backdrop of the singer's turbulent emotions and unpredictable surroundings.
Line by Line Meaning
Ma kardan iseend ja mõtteid, mis keerlevad peas.
I am scared of my own thoughts that keep swirling around in my head.
On õndsa hullumeelne mõelda, kuid öelda ei saa.
It's blissfully insane to think but impossible to say.
Nüüd olen präänik kui tormgi, mis laastab kui saab.
Now I am a candy that storms through, destructively.
Nii seiklen läbi, vaid nii on hea.
So I wander, because that is what feels good.
Homseks olen kadunud teelt ja selles linnas rohkem mind ei näe.
Tomorrow I'll be gone from this road and this city will see me no more.
Ma oleksin kui pikse poole teel ses külmas süüs.
I would be like a lightning on my way in this cold darkness.
Ei iial enam haiget mulle tee su heitlik meel.
Your fickle mind should never hurt me again.
Nüüd annan veidi rohkem gaasi, vaid kiirus mind peab.
Now I give a little more gas, only speed keeps me going.
Kui vihmapiisad tuuleklaasil nii ekslen, kuid tean.
When raindrops on the windshield distract me, I know.
Ma rikun seadust, õhutan tundeid ja lollusi teen.
I break the law, encourage emotions and do foolish things.
Mind võiksid peatada, kuid nii sa ei tee.
You could stop me, but you don't.
