Sooo, This guy is probably my favorite singer/song writer and he is an NF. Which NF you might ask, well im not going to tell :p , ill let you guy guess(and am really interested if you can figure it out). Also i was wondering if you guys can, maybe not relate with 100% accuracy, but at least empathize to high degree with the lyrics.

Songs are in finnish, so i had to translate all of them and because i spent a while doing so, some discussion would be nice :) .

ps. i highly suggest listening the songs while reading the lyrics :yes:



Doesent help to take enema
Doesent help to take off amalgam
Pillow from tv-shop doesent help, that anatomical
Power yoga doesent help
Crowbar doesent help
Weed doesent help, neither does aerobic
I also tried boxing, lifting weights and cycling
I meditated and fasted and swam and fell in love and
Studied languages and read philosophy
Did poetry and theater

(1:16)
I crawl to bed feeling down, now i cant sleep
Im lonely in group of friends
In the morning i dont have the strength to get up to a hilarious day, im too funny even without trying

But i move from crisis to crisis, i walk with mighty steps
I want that nothing was as it used to be
I move from crisis to crisis and cant find any help
Shards of happiness wound me and gets me in
Crisis
Crisis
Crisis

(2:30)
Doesent help to do lottery
Doesent help to drink booze
Doesent help god damn it, what am i going to do?
I take a trip to the ocean shore , shellsuit gives protection
Going outdoors calms and thats fun
I eat a pie, curse its taste
I take a deep breath of ocean airs stinking sweat

Im coloring a coloring book,
Drawing line from dot to dot.
Im assembling an jigsaw thats missing pieces.
Someone helps me to find, another is breaking pencils.
Im coloring a coloring book with blood.

(1:10)
Rain is hitting on my shoulders, wind is screaming schlager(its a music genre if someone doesent know).
I fell in a ditch on my belly.
I wish i could tattoo the sky on my skin.

Joy that comes out of nowhere changes the shape of sorrow.
Im not who i used to be.
I wish i could tattoo the sky on my skin.

Im coloring a coloring book in a time storm.

(2:50)
Lightnings on my spine
Fireworks of skin
I dance the storm to come on my side
I wish i could tattoo the sky on my skin.

I fell in a ditch on my belly.
I wish i could tattoo the sky on my skin.

(song starts at 1:45)

Walls of the childrens room are yellow
Sun is also yellow, so they are saying
Oh i wish i could go see it some day

Kid kept crying: mommy buy that toy
That beautiful toy in a closet only after one play
Grave from a closet only got

You are a lonely tin drum
In a closet of childrens room
You turned on a robot
It started walking
You are always left here
You are a lonely tin drum
In a closet of childrens room
You turned on a robot
It started walking
You are always left here

You are bored of the smell of death
And light the teddy curtains to fire
Its like getting to see the sun

Kid kept crying: mommy buy that toy
That beautiful toy in a closet only after one play
Grave from a closet only got

You are a lonely tin drum
In a closet of childrens room
You turned on a robot
It started walking
You are always left here
You are a lonely tin drum
In a closet of childrens room
You turned on a robot
It started walking
You are always left here

The imagery/analogies used (especially the "abandoned toy" image!) for the second and third songs strike me as a uniquely relatable way of describing sadness and melancholy, they do seem very NF-ish. The first song is less figurative, but the chorus talking about how he presses on and the ironically upbeat (imo) sound are something I can really relate to! I usually cope with sadness by trying to carry on with life like there's nothing wrong and by and large most people really don't seem to sense anything off...o_O even if my world is practically breaking down inside.

I would guess infp, but it's probably coloured by stereotypes of the melancholic infp heheh >.< still, the richly imaginative language, the idea of being lonely within a group of friends and the overall feel of the songs just makes it feel likely!

hehe. but dont get fooled by the topic of these songs, this guy has recorded 26 albums and not all of them are about melancholy. i just chose these songs because first i was going to just post one song, but then i thought that only one of these might not had been enough for analyzing much.
