Well, many things, but one big thing is that even if he is singing about gambling or partying and getting drunk there is still this vibe of.... Being sensible or responsible, even if you are doing stupid/wild things.
Like in "Auto jää" together with Antti Tuisku they are singing about deciding to leave the car to the parking slot because they are partying hard and too drunk to drive home = encouraging people to not drive while drunk but putting a humorous twist in it.
In Klo23 he is singing about leaving the appartment at 23:00 in order to not disturb all of the neighbours in the appartment building. He is having a rave but also still follows the appartment building's rules. (Although he doesn't care if one neighbour is distrurbed before the silence starts at 23:00) Obviously he is also making fun of the fact that his Rockstar lifestyle has to face the reality that he is living in a 20m³ appartment, but things can be multilayered ya know?
the "i am not throwing away my shot" "just you wait" foreshadowing in nonstop still goes SO HARD even a decade later. lin was insane for this. truly a mastermind
just finished watching jimin's docu and my god I'm so grateful for the producers who worked on face. they were SO encouraging and so accepting of jimin's ideas. especially pdogg. incorporating jimin's ideas into the songs with such enthusiasm and telling him that they're good (they were!!) and telling him it's okay and encouraging him when he was having a hard time with the lyrics. they created such a great and comfortable environment for jimin to make his album 🥹 so so so thankful for them truly.
