As a foreigner his songs give off those douchebag rapper vibes, but his lyrics are quite the opposite... I was expecting to hear him singing about having lots of money and women but in fact the song is about having no money and zero bitches😭 Truly iconic

Bragging is a huge taboo in Finnish society. No matter how rich or famous you are, you're never allowed to say it out loud. It is said that in America even the poor wants to look rich while in Finland even the rich want to look poor (or at least middle-class). Anyone who boasts having lots of women would certainly be considered a virgin. It makes no sense for a grown man who actually has success with the ladies to tell about it. A couple of Finnish phrases: - Kell' onni on, se onnen kätkeköön = fortune should be hidden - Pidä kynttiläsi vakan alla = Keep your candle under a lid (as in don't boast with your talent or money) - Omakehu haisee = self-congratulation stinks To give some context, the thing that bothered Finns the most about Donald Trump was the fact that he didn't downplay his wealth. Not the crimes or incompetence, but the boasting.

Since a lot of foreign eyes are on Käärijä rn I figured I'd post this translation of the song for those who wanna understand. I tried to translate as accurately as I could while keeping the mood in mind. Thank you all for supporting Käärijä, he's Finland's pride and joy and we're so happy he steamrolled people's choice!! Keep supporting him, he deserves the best!! 💚🖤💚 Title: "Successful individual" I was supposed to become something! I was supposed to become something! Dreams are crushed At 27 I expected to own a house, my own yard, own wife and the classic two kids, dog on top, all under the same roof Didn't go like that, no Now I'm having a premature 30's crisis Order a pint, toss the gloves in the sink, fuck this feels bad A singing wanderer Far removed from the shimmer of gold Doesn't really make me chuckle A young boy's imagination started to run from a dream that I can now bury in the ground It's tight around my neck, I feel like I'm choking, I think I bit more than I can chew On the positive side, My other foot ain't in the grave... yet When I yell "I was" You yell "Was supposed to become" I was, supposed to become! (x2) A successful individual covered in a golden glitz Not some damn weirdo in a one-bedroom closet apartment, The drunken outcast of the apartment complex A successful individual covered in a golden glitz Kela said that we became builders, cab drivers and shoemakers*, but some of us just became failures Useless folk who get wet through their rainboots (whoa!) If you feel like you can relate, cry out "yo!" (yo!") What?! (YO!) Okay, cool, let's go! (Let's go!) I had achievements I wanted to nail, Get successful, open my own tavern But I had to sell my own moustache just to afford a carton of red Marli** from the shop It's tight around my neck, I feel like I'm choking, I think I bit more than I can chew On the positive side, My other foot ain't in the grave... yet When I yell "I was" You yell "Was supposed to become" I was, supposed to become! (x2) A successful individual covered in a golden glitz Not some damn weirdo in a one-bedroom closet apartment, The drunken outcast of the apartment complex A successful individual covered in a golden glitz So did things go like you planned? (No!) Would this year have some better luck in store? (No!) What about the year after that, what about then? (No!) Yeah same here We're in the same boat "This was supposed to be my year!" Like I say every damn year New drip, new me But in the end I'm still the same damn me When I yell "I was" You yell "Was supposed to become" I was, supposed to become! (x2) A successful individual covered in a golden glitz Not some damn weirdo in a one-bedroom closet apartment, The drunken outcast of the apartment complex A successful individual covered in a golden glitz I was supposed to become something, big and grandiose, I was supposed to become something, but my wallet ain't getting fatter I was supposed to become something, supposed to become something Anything! At least something...^ --- Notes *This references an existing well-known finnish classic, "1972" by Anssi Kela. It's a melancholic song reminiscing about a class and what they're up to know, lamenting the fact they used to have such lofty dreams and "change the world" but ended up becoming average or downright miserable people after all. ** "Red Marli" refers to the red, non-alcoholic glögi variety of the brand Marli, something Käärijä often refers to as his favourite drink. Glögi is a spiced berry juice beverage typically served hot during christmas season. ^ "Ees jotain" as a phrase means "at least something", but it's a desperate, pleading phrase that is hard to fully capture in English. Most finns wouldn't be caught dead pleading for things like this. Essentially "I'd take anything, please, give me anything at all". EDIT; fixed some errors!

so true, everyone wants to be, something, at least once !

The lyrics and the music are my life for real... Especially the chorus. It just perfectly describes that state. At least, for me. But, maybe now that I found out about Käärijä, my life will change. At least, it did as I am happy for the first time in a long time, got new friends, etc etc, I need an essay to describe every way he changed my life. I love him more than I ever did anything in my life.

Tämä on Käärijän tähän asti kuulemistani biiseistä se, joka puhuttelee eniten henkilökohtaisella tasolla. Miksihän? :D T. yksi "menestynyt yksilö" taidealalta. Ei kun oikeasti: VOIMABIISI!

This Video kills me 😂😂😂Käärijä best Act from Finnland ❤‍🔥

Not enough credit is given for the video. Very nice animation

This is my favourite song from him and speaks to me on a personal level. It's a shame he doesn't seem to play it live much.

Nyt hän on se mies, menestynyt yksilö

I think we all can relate to this lyrics no matter how old we are...

"Turhakkeita joilla tulee vesi läpi kumppareista" 😂😂😂

Järjettömän hyvä video. Ihmeen kiehtovaa katsoa noita keltasia miehiä.

You are such an amazing artist, thankfully I watched Eurovision, else I would've not found you :)

This song is a golden banger ❤
