Song Meaning of “E20 Norr” by Millencolin
‘E20 Norr’ by Millencolin is an upbeat punk rock song that celebrates the small joys of the everyday. The song speaks to the need to stay positive and to carve out moments of peace and contentment amidst the chaos of life. The song title refers to a highway in Sweden, lending itself to the idea of travel – both literal and metaphorical – and how it can be both exhilarating and stressful at the same time. The narrator speaks of the struggles of life, but resolves to take moments to appreciate the simple pleasures that life has to offer, like a “smile in the middle of the street” or a “beer on the weekend”. By referring to the highway as a source of joy, the song affirms that even the mundane things in life can fill us with a sense of freedom and adventure, so long as we remain open to the possibility.
