Virus
En Esch/Sascha Konietzko/Svet Am Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm talking about virus from the streets
Spread that virus, go for (?)
Take down the resistance of yourself
Smoke some dope, waste you brain
Kick your health out the drain
Fuel injection make you high
You catch it once, catch it twice
Catch it with your love device
Man is God's creator
Collecting lives to pay him later
Rip that thing and do the right stuff
'Cause messing with the girls ain't not enough
You can't lock it in no more surprise
Bursting out into the sky
Virus
You're the killer
You're the thriller
Gonna lock you up
Gonna rock you down
Gonna knock you out
Make you hide
This love ain't real it's just a fake
I don't care what you may
You gotta keep saying (?) better start prayin'
(?) idea but it's too late
It's all destroyed what a shame
You're the victim he's the master
Beg for mercy, more 'n' faster
I'm rock and roll muscle with the basic time
My face is all out you've gone too far
Been saving for a million years or longer
You woke me up I'm even stronger
Cleaning out the face the birth of my mother
You'll never ever, you'll never have another
Blown to pieces, drowned in slime
No word on the tombstone, sign o' the time
The lyrics to "Virus" by En Esch/Sascha Konietzko/Svet Am speak of the destructive force of addiction, which they refer to as a virus. The song starts by introducing the virus as a creeping force from the streets that targets punks and freaks. The lyrics then suggest that the virus is spread through self-destructive behavior, such as smoking dope, wasting one's brain, and risking one's health. The virus is even compared to a fuel injection that makes one high and drives one to do things they would not normally do.
Moreover, the lyrics suggest that the virus is highly contagious, as it can be caught multiple times, even with one's love device. The song then takes a darker turn, as it suggests that man is collecting lives to pay God later. The chorus that follows speaks of the virus as a killer and thriller that needs to be locked up, rocked down, and knocked out. The lyrics conclude by suggesting that addiction has destroyed everything, and the victim is now at the mercy of the virus.
