Strunk
Die Antwoord Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ah, love. Lovey, love, love, love, love, love, love
Makes you feel so trippy!
Like you're stoned and drunk at the same time
Strunk! 24/7 baba

You make me feel like every day is Saturday my friend
Go to sleep, wake up it's Saturday again
I'm a busy man, I'm goin 'round the world
Got me fucked up by the baddest pretty little girl
And all I really wanna do
Is get on a plane and come and visit you
Fly close to the sun Jesus what's going on?

Oh my God I'm so strunk
Stone drunk. Oh fuck
Help me Lord I'm so strunk
Fucked up. Love drunk

I'm zoning out in my room all alone
Staring at the fucking telephone
Is this for real or are you just playing games?
Haven't heard from you in three whole days
You told me you want me to be your girl
Look into my eyes and promise me the world
Tell me is this really true romance
Or are you just trying to get in my pants?
Party tonight everybody's goin' on tellin' me we gotta go
Just close the door switch off the light leave me alone I don't wanna fucking go
Fuck your pinky promise playboy, cause you steal my heart and then you go
Just leave me so desperately lonely

Oh my God I'm so strunk
Stone drunk. Oh fuck
Help me Lord I'm so strunk
Fucked up. Love drunk

Oh my God I'm so strunk
Stone drunk. Oh fuck
Help me Lord I'm so strunk
Fucked up. Love drunk

Love lifts you up like an eagle, baby girl
You're so cool, you're so nice, you're so natural, you're so sex
Love fucks you up like an evil angel
You so cool, cool as ice but playboy you tell fucking lies

Oh my God I'm so strunk
Stone drunk. Oh fuck
Help me Lord I'm so strunk
Fucked up. Love drunk

Oh my God I'm so strunk
Stone drunk. Oh fuck




Help me Lord I'm so strunk
Fucked up. Love drunk

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Die Antwoord’s song Strunk are about the effects of falling in love. The artist describes how love can make you feel high all the time, always intoxicated with emotions. The title of the song, “Strunk,” is a play on words, referring to being both “stoned” and “drunk” simultaneously.
The singer reminisces about the feeling of being in love and how it makes him feel like every day is Saturday. But with love, comes anxiety and paranoia that arises when one doesn’t hear from their partner for some time. The artist questions if their partner’s interest in them is genuine or if they’re only looking for a one-night stand. The false promises that come with love often leave the artist feeling lonely and heartbroken. Despite the struggles of love, the artist acknowledges the euphoria it brings, a feeling that is both uplifting and destructive.


Overall, Strunk is a commentary on the intense ups and downs of being in love, the highs and lows that make us feel alive but are also destabilizing. It’s an exploration of the vulnerability that accompanies falling for someone and the uncertainty that comes when trying to navigate a new connection.

@TheEpichu

Ugh the feels with this song! Brings me back, so much nostalgia ❤

@aniagie8141

those vocals.... can't stop listening

@hanneskasel1853

To me this Song is about real love feeling better than be stoned and drunk which in my opinion is for DA choosing a duet. Love Jolandi's part in the end because (following my thoughts) there she totally spoke out of my heart because all my bros tell me i'm stupid but i feel i know better.

@kennaking2190
