Suspicious Minds
DJ Ötzi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby, yeah

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?
We can't go on together
With suspicious minds (with suspicious minds)
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

On suspicious minds

So, if an old friend I know
Drops by to say hello
Would I still see suspicion in your eyes?

Here we go again
Asking where I've been
You can't see the tears are real
I'm crying (yes, I'm crying)

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds (with suspicious minds)
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

Oh let our love survive
Or dry your tears from your eyes
Don't let a good thing die

When honey, you know
I've never lied to you
Ooh, yeah, yeah

We're caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because I love you too much, baby

Why can't you see
What you're doing to me
When you don't believe a word I say?

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds (with suspicious minds)
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds (with suspicious minds)
And we can't build our dreams
On suspicious minds

On suspicious minds
On suspicious minds




On suspicious minds
On suspicious minds

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of DJ Ötzi's song "Suspicious Minds" depict the complex dynamics of a troubled relationship plagued by distrust and suspicion. The singer finds himself trapped in a situation where he feels unable to escape because his love for his partner is too strong. The line "We're caught in a trap, I can't walk out, because I love you too much, baby," expresses the emotional turmoil of being stuck in a relationship despite the underlying doubt and mistrust.


The song further explores the frustration of the singer, as he questions why his partner fails to see the damage their suspicions are inflicting on him. He wonders why they refuse to believe his words and continually doubt his honesty. Despite his efforts to express his love and fidelity, the suspicions persist, causing a rift in their relationship.


The chorus emphasizes the importance of trust in maintaining a healthy relationship. The phrase "We can't go on together with suspicious minds" suggests that the foundation of their love is shaky and unsustainable. Building their dreams and a future together becomes impossible when doubts and mistrust cloud their connection.


In the subsequent verse, the singer mentions the fear of encountering suspicion even from an old friend who drops by to say hello. The constant questioning of their whereabouts and actions creates a cycle of doubt and insecurity, leading to repeated arguments and tears. The plea to let their love survive and not let a good thing die highlights the desire to overcome these suspicions and salvage their relationship.
