Kunstig og kulørt
deLillos Lyrics

The lyrics of deLillos's song Kunstig og kulørt express a desire for something new and natural, and a rejection of things that are too sweet, too soft, too pure or too commercial. The singer is asking someone to show them something that is still delightful and possible in the world. The repetition of the phrase "Kan du vise meg noe nytt og deilig" gives a sense of yearning and urgency, as if the singer is desperately seeking something to make them feel alive and hopeful. The use of the adjectives "kunstig" (artificial) and "kulørt" (colored, vivid) throughout the song creates a contrast with the idea of naturalness and hints at the superficiality of modern culture.

The lyrics can be interpreted as a criticism of consumerism and mass media, which often offer shallow and unrealistic representations of beauty, happiness and success. By rejecting the "sangen om det søte" (the song about sweetness) or "det pene" (the pretty), the singer is rejecting the mainstream ideals of what is desirable or acceptable. Instead, they are looking for something that is truly new and fresh, that has not been commodified or packaged for mass consumption. The lines "Og at verden er fremdeles herlig/Og at verden er fremdeles mulig" (And that the world is still delightful/And that the world is still possible) suggest that the singer is not entirely pessimistic, but still believes in the potential for goodness and beauty in the world.
