Skit
Casper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Ich will nicht mehr in der Band sein
Ich wollte nie, dass die Sache so groß wird
Ich stehe da oben und singe
Aber niemand hat eine Ahnung davon
Wie viel es mich kostet
Und welche Auswirkung das auf mich hat
"Entwarnung, Jungs. Er ist da."
Und jetzt wollen sie noch mehr
Sie erwarten immer mehr
"Ich wünsch‘ Dir viel Spaß."
Ich weiß aber nicht, ob ich das kann
Es ist, als würde all das nicht mir passieren
Sondern jemandem, der zwar aussieht wie ich
Aber nur vorgibt, ich zu sein




Ich hab keine Kontrolle mehr
Ich weiß nicht, was ich tun soll "

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Casper's song Skit explore the pressures and struggles of fame and success. The singer expresses their desire to leave the band, admitting that they never wanted things to get so big. Despite standing on stage and singing to fans, the singer feels misunderstood and alone, as no one truly understand the cost and impact of their success on the individual. The sudden and overwhelming pressure to keep delivering more and more for fans has left the singer feeling lost and unsure of their ability to keep up. It's as if they feel like they're pretending to be themselves, living a life that doesn't feel like it belongs to them. This feeling of being out of control and not knowing what to do next is the central struggle expressed in the lyrics.

The singer seems to feel a disconnect between their public persona and their true self, which is taking a toll on them emotionally. The pressure of fame can be intense and the burden of constantly exceeding expectations can be a heavy one to bear. The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling to come to terms with this reality and isn't sure what steps to take next.


Overall, the lyrics to Skit are a candid and vulnerable expression of the challenges that come with fame and success, and the toll they can take on a person.

Him holding her and the “Can I keep you?” always gave me butterflies. I used to wish for a moment like this as a kid

So glad my childhood was filled with movies like this one!! Yes, I was one of those girls who had a massive crush on human Casper! I mean, how could you not? Those baby blues and the way he says “Can I keep you?” 10 year old me was like “YESSSS you can!”
