Song Meaning of “Det handlar inte om inställning” by Bingo
This thoughtful and introspective folk-inspired song reflects on the concept of personal identity and its relationship to how we define ourselves in life. The narrator realizes that despite trying their best to be what society expects of them, the results are often still disappointing; a sentiment that can be seen in the lyrics “Det handlar inte om inställning/Det är aldrig så man ville ha det/Vi håller stilla/Vi gör som man ber oss.” The chorus then follows up with a plea for freedom and acceptance, singing “Vänd blicken bort från mönster/Vänd blicken bort från plikt/Vi är stjänor det är vi/Men ångest är den bästa vän vi har.” This pleasurable chant serves as a powerful reminder that despite all the pressure, it is possible to find our true selves if we can just embrace who we are and move past our imagined self-limitations.
