Vapnet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Den blev stulen.
De skrattar åt mig nu.
Internet,
Gör mig känd.
De laddar ner mig fil för fil.
Så dum som jag är,
Hur jag ska bära mig åt.
För allt blir fel,
Och nu vet alla om
Vad jag sa till dig.
Och nu vet alla om
Vad du sa,
Vad du sa.
För du är med:
Sidan tre,
Och fram till fyrtiotvå.
Ett citat,
Det du sa,
Var elakt men så uppenbart.
Så simpel som jag är,
Kan jag inte förstå
Hur ska jag bära mig åt.
För allt blir fel.
Och hur du ser på mig
Stämmer ganska bra
Med hur jag ser på mig.
Så kalla mig CP.
Kalla mig bög.
Det kanske är fel,
Men en bra metafor
För den jag är.
Det jag är.
In Vapnet's song Kalla mig, the lyrics revolve around the theme of humiliation and vulnerability as a result of having personal information shared on the internet. The first verse starts with the singer losing their diary and feeling exposed because of it. They then mention how the internet has made them famous, but not in a positive way. People are downloading files about them and laughing at their expense. The chorus expresses the singer's confusion and desperation to understand how to deal with everything going wrong.
In the second verse, the singer reveals that someone they had confided in had betrayed them by sharing their conversation online. The person's hurtful words were now public and a clear representation of what the singer had confided. The singer is left feeling foolish and exposes even more when they try to understand the situation. The chorus repeats, further emphasizing the singer's confusion and feelings of inadequacy. The song ends with the singer drawing a comparison between people's negative labels about them and a metaphorical representation of their identity.
Overall, in Kalla Mig, Vapnet creatively explores a modern problem that many people can relate to – the fear of being exposed online and how it can affect our self-image.

My diary got stolen, they're laughing at me now
The internet is making me famous, they're downloading me bit by bit
As dumb as I am, I can't understand, what will I do
Cause everything turns out wrong and now everyone knows what I said to you, and now everyone knows what you said to me
Cause you're in it from page 3 to 42, a qoute you said was mean but so obvious
As simple as I am, I can't understand, what will I do everything turns out wrong
And how you look at me reflects pretty well how I see myself
So call me a spaz, call me a fag
It may be wrong, but it's a good metaphor for who I am, what I am.
repeat, repeat, repeat....

Samma, började nynna på gitarr soundet. Vart tokig när jag inte kom på vilken låt det var. Sjukt härliga minnen.

+Gian G in short, the lyrics is about losing a diary and accepting that people will call you retarded for the things you put in it and how it all are made available to everyone on the internet
