Inn te avhør
Wannskrækk Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

En to tre fir
Inn te avhør
Inn te avhør
Inn te avhør

Inn te avhør
Inn te avhør
Inn te avhør

Her ei natt så blei æ tatt
Av lovens lange arm
Æ gikk på fylla
Og sku på cella
Som va mørk å kaill

Fast og sikkert blei æ sparka inn
I ett skittent høl
Etter nån tima kom en fyr
å skreik inn i øret mitt

Inn te avhør
Inn te avhør
Inn te avhør

Inn te avhør
Inn te avhør
Inn te avhør

En overgla purk kom å glisa tell mæ på rom 210
Fulle navn, adressen, korti e du født
Æ svart så fort æ koinn
Hylla va på plass, rett inn i arkive
For slemme barn
Retten sku bli satt tell neste dag
Forbryter e va æ blei

Inn te avhør
Inn te avhør
Inn te avhør

Inn te avhør
Inn te avhør
Inn te avhør

Inn te avhør
Inn te avhør
Inn te avhør

Inn te avhør




Inn te avhør

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Wannskrækk's song "Inn Te Avhør" describe the experience of being arrested and taken to the police station for questioning. The opening lines of the song, "En to tre fir, Inn te avhør" (One, two, three, four, in for questioning) set the tone for the rest of the lyrics, which describe the process of being processed by the legal system. The singer of the song describes being taken into custody after a night of drinking, and being put into a dark and dirty cell.


After some time, a police officer comes to question them and demands their personal information. The singer surrenders this information quickly, and is then filed away into the system as a "criminal". The lyrics "Hylla va på plass, rett inn i arkive, for slemme barn" (The shelf was in place, straight into the archives, for naughty children) describes the dehumanizing process of being processed like a piece of paperwork, rather than a human being. The repeated chorus of "Inn te avhør" emphasizes the feeling of being trapped in the legal system and one's lack of agency in such a situation.


Overall, "Inn Te Avhør" paints a bleak picture of being caught in the legal process, stripped of one's agency, and treated as a mere criminal rather than a person. The song can be interpreted as a critique of the legal system's treatment of individuals, particularly those who may be struggling with addiction and other issues.
