Wahrheit
Croc Shop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get a message to the youth
You know that everything is dead
And gone right to your head
It's not so easy living when I think of
What you're giving me
(Alle ist crass)
And it's becoming my prediction that
(Alle ist crass)
It's time to claim the prize
The underdog will rise
You know that everything's the same
Now we're dealing with the pain
Ich habe ihm gehörig die Wahrheit
With order we can make it through
Some kind survival for me and you
There seems to be no other way
No gain that we can make it today
The song Wahrheit by Croc Shop is about the need for honesty, especially in the face of a world that seems broken and disillusioned. The first verse implores the listener to speak the truth and send a message to the youth, who are likely feeling overwhelmed and confused by what's around them. The lyrics suggest that everything is dead and has gone right to people's heads, likely referring to a general feeling of despair and hopelessness.
In the second verse, the lyrics convey the personal toll that this lack of truth is taking on the singer. They describe feeling friction and a loss of joy in their life, predicting that everything is going down a negative path. The chorus urges action and the need to claim the prize, suggesting that the underdog will rise despite the overwhelming circumstances.
The bridge, which is in German, adds to the intensity of the song by stating "I have given him the truth" or in other words, the singer has been truthful and honest about their feelings and experiences. The final verse concludes that only through order and some type of survival strategy can we make it through these times, acknowledging the difficulty of making any real gains in the present.
