Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a lot going on in my head
like im dead but im walking
sometimes i feel like a dead man walking

dont get it twisted dont you call the feds
on a dead man walking
dont call the feds on a dead man walking
Verse
Dont now who i am no more
niggas keep calling me escobar
am i one of the greatest by far
can i really make em drop their jaw
back stabbed now im living with the scars
nightmares always creepin in the dark
niggas out here tryna tear me apart
a steppin stone man i'll never play that part since from the start
and dont you ever try to take advantage
cause you see im a fin for the music
if you dont understand it from another planet
or reside on the back of the moon
duckin these stars like some shots from some goons
and im a bit scared that im gon die
while im on my way while im on my
is it all in my head is it all in my
and what do you think do i need to chill
if im insane do i need a pill
walking on fire im up for the trill
and i keep moving cause i got the will
what do you think do i need to chill
if im insane do i need a pill
walking on fire im up for the trill
and i keep moving cause i got the will

dont call the feds on a dead man walking x2
The lyrics to Bernward Koch & Pablo's song "Walking" delve into the complex emotions and inner struggles of the singer. The hook sets the tone with the repetition of feeling "dead but walking." This phrase suggests a sense of emptiness or disconnection from oneself. The mention of not wanting to be reported to the authorities also implies a possible desperation or involvement in illicit activities.
In the verse, the singer expresses a loss of identity, mentioning how others call them "Escobar," referring to the notorious drug lord. This comparison raises questions about the singer's own reputation and the consequences of their actions. The mention of being backstabbed and living with scars denotes a sense of betrayal or past traumas haunting them. The line "niggas out here tryna tear me apart" suggests that the singer is being targeted or facing opposition from others.
Furthermore, there is an underlying theme of questioning sanity and one's place in the world. The references to being on another planet or residing on the back of the moon convey a feeling of detachment from reality. The fear of death and uncertainty about the singer's own mental stability are explored through lines like "is it all in my head" and "if im insane do i need a pill." Despite these inner struggles, the singer finds solace in music and their determination to keep moving forward.
