Wahrheit
DDP Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ich wünsch' mir endlich Ruhe
Fängt mich an, zu Stören
Immer nur gebrochene Wahrheiten zu hören

Vor Kurzem dachte ich noch
Jede Meldung wär' fundiert
Und ohne jegliche Zensur um die Welt geschickt

Ich werde niemals ganz vergessen
Alles an dem zu messen, was meine eigene Wahrheit war
Ich werde niemals ganz verpassen
Die ganze Welt dafür zu hassen - was meine eigene Wahrheit war

Auch im Fall der Freundschaft ist es nicht immer ersichtlich
Wer ist falsch oder für wen ist Gemeinschaft wichtig
Einst dachte auch ich, gute Freunde gibt es viele
Jedoch wurde ich zu oft belehrt - es blieben nur noch wenige

Ich werde niemals ganz vergessen
Alles an dem zu messen, was meine eigene Wahrheit war
Ich werde niemals ganz verpassen
Die ganze Welt dafür zu hassen - was meine eigene Wahrheit war
Ich werde niemals ganz vergessen
Alles an dem zu messen, was meine eigene Wahrheit war

Ich werde niemals ganz verpassen
Die ganze Welt dafür zu hassen - was meine eigene Wahrheit war

Overall Meaning

The song "Wahrheit" by German rapper DDP is a reflection on the importance and impact of truth in the world. The artist expresses a desire for peace and quiet, as constant exposure to broken truths and lies has become overwhelming. He conveys a sense of disillusionment with the world and a loss of faith in journalism and the media, which he feels have become biased and censored.

DDP also touches on the theme of friendship and community, commenting on how difficult it can be to discern genuine friends from those who are false or only interested in superficial connections. He acknowledges that he himself has been deceived in the past, but remains committed to staying true to his own values and beliefs.

Throughout the song, DDP emphasizes the importance of staying true to one's own "Wahrheit," or truth. He is determined to resist the impulse to hate the world, instead choosing to focus on building a personal code of ethics that is grounded in his own sense of reality.

Overall, "Wahrheit" is a complex and thought-provoking work that explores important themes of honesty, integrity, and interpersonal relationships in a world that can often feel overwhelming and difficult to navigate.
