Vinni Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
den rligheten man blir hy av, den som kvler en
Den som brer alt det grne skulle gjerne ha glemt,
men hei snn gr det nr du tr kaste terningen
for kjre venn, mange ting er vrre enn vre redd
Nok en del av vr tilvrelse, n lrer vi igjen
Tur retur te hlvete medykten min.
Kommer jeg herifra s trenger jeg en drink.!
Kan de hre meg n?
De sier stjernestvet faller der det m-
Kan de hre meg n?
S-s-s kommer dagen derp
Da-da-dagen derp!
Da-da
Jeg tok det hvis jeg fant det, ofra alt for mine sanser
Og stansa ved en tanke om at jeg falt for god balanse
Har alltid hatt tilpasningsvansker og blitt s altfor panser
Har vrt en alfahann som langsomt blei en vodkadranker
Og samtidig som harmoni har vrt s langt der borte
Kan man vel si at apati har vrt den vante sorte
Har vrt et samfunnsproblem
mine omgivelser har gitt frre tilatelser enn de har gitt tilgivelser
For her har nok en kyniker benyttet seg av bibelens
fine syn p de som er fortapt i sine lidelser
Du veit jo veit jo bedre burde blitt streit istedet
Har ryka feit, jeg veit det er leit, men hei han dreit i dere
Men karma'n kommer n
Kommer alltid som et sjokk
Over alt er snne folk
Og plutselig m dem vkne opp
Og prve gjre det godt igjen, for de de kjenner
og familien som ikke orker lenger
Kan de hre oss n?
De sier stjernestvet faller der det m-

The lyrics to Vinni's song Stjernestøv explore the themes of fear, acceptance, and redemption. The opening lines describe the singer's experience of being scared by the reality of life, which can overwhelm and suffocate us. The singer reflects on the desire to forget the past and move forward, but acknowledges that life is unpredictable and often beyond our control. Despite this, the singer encourages their friend that many things are worse than being afraid, and that they will learn and grow through their experiences.
The chorus of the song reflects on the concept of stardust, and how it falls wherever it needs to. This is a metaphor for the idea that we are all connected in some way, and that our actions have consequences that ripple outwards. The singer questions if they can be heard by others, and if they are making an impact in the world. They also reference the idea of the "day after", or the future, and imply that they are hopeful for what is to come, even if it may be difficult or challenging.
Overall, the song revolves around the themes of self-reflection, the struggle for self-discovery, and the inevitability of being affected by others' actions and choices. It is a message of hope and encouragement that despite our fears and hardships, we can find redemption and make a positive change in the world.
