Veto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There is something in the air that we breathe
We are spun into the thoughts that we have
We are spun into the thoughts that we have
There is something by the way that we walk
Something proud without knowing what it's of
We are spun into the thoughts that we have
And it turns us into something we are not
There is something in the water we are drinking
There is something in the air that we breathe
And I'd rather die of thirst than drink one drop
I'd rather die than fill my lungs up
Veto's song "Spun" is a commentary on the influence of external factors on our thoughts and behaviors. The lyrics begin by describing the presence of "something" in the water we drink and the air we breathe, which causes us to be "spun" into certain thoughts and attitudes. This imagery suggests that we are not in control of our own minds, but are instead subject to the whims of outside forces.
As the song continues, the lyrics explore the idea that this external influence can cause us to become something we are not. The reference to feeling "proud without knowing what it's of" suggests that we may adopt beliefs or attitudes without fully understanding or questioning their origins. The repetition of the phrase "we are spun into the thoughts that we have" drives home the idea that we are not in control of our own minds or beliefs.
The final lines of the song, "And I'd rather die of thirst than drink one drop / I'd rather die than fill my lungs up," suggest a defiant stance against this external influence. The singer would rather suffer physical harm than allow themselves to be manipulated by outside forces.
Overall, "Spun" is a thought-provoking commentary on the power of external influence and the importance of critical thinking and self-awareness.

Hi VETOs!, i love them! I`m form South America (Uruguay) and i love Danish Alternative/Rock music. Cheers
Lebowski
I think they will be happy to read. Nice taste in music, my good sir. Uruguay is a nice country! I recall your president smoking weed, yes? :)
edgardo gregorini
@Lebowski Yes !, that was years ago for a BBC interview, I think, an Indian journalist encouraged him to smoke. Today we have another neo liberal president. I don't know where you are from but Uruguay is good if you have money.
Lebowski
edgardo gregorini oh okay, but he did legalise weed, right? I come from Denmark 🇩🇰 right now we have a social-liberal government in place. But at the end of the day Denmark is also neo liberal which kinda suck, so I feel your pain a little bit, brother.
