Pielie
Die Antwoord Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Iewe skielik loop daar n vibrator in
Die een piel se vir die ander piel:
"O fok! Dis Robocop!"
The lyrics of Die Antwoord's song Pielie depict a comical scenario of two men robbing a bank and being interrupted by the sudden sound of a vibrator. The lyrics mention "Twee piele" which means "two dicks" in Afrikaans, which portrays the two male accomplices. The use of colloquial language adds a sense of humor to the song. It then describes the sudden appearance of a vibrator in the picture and how the first "piel" assumes it to be the sound of Robocop, another humorous reference. It can be interpreted as a satirical commentary on masculinity and criminal behavior, and how easily the situation can be disturbed.
