Budzę się rano otwieram oczy z trudem
Nie toleruję cyfrowej kontroli
Idę przed siebie pozbawiony złudzeń
Achtung ajajajaj dwa zero jeden dwa
Achtung ajajajaj gdzie ty tam ja
Achtung ajajajaj dwa zero jeden dwa
Ten kraj jest chory a ja nie składam broni
Fotoradary polują na ludzi
Drzwi otwierają się tutaj powoli
Najwyższy czas w końcu się obudzić
Achtung ajajajaj dwa zero jeden dwa
Achtung ajajajaj gdzie ty tam ja
Achtung ajajajaj dwa zero jeden dwa
Achtung ajajajaj gdzie ty tam ja
Ten kraj jest chory nie wolno się poddawać
Gdy dobro czynisz wnet do Ciebie wróci
Boi się ten co ostro narozrabiał
Gdy zło zasiejesz trwale się pobrudzisz
Achtung ajajajaj dwa zero jeden dwa
Achtung ajajajaj gdzie ty tam ja
Achtung ajajajaj dwa zero jeden dwa
Achtung ajajajaj gdzie ty tam ja

The song "Achtung 2012" by Farben Lehre addresses the societal issues and challenges faced by the singer in his country. The opening lines convey a sense of discomfort and pain, as the singer describes the constant affliction and suffering that plagues this place. Waking up in the morning becomes a struggle, and there is a deep-rooted aversion towards digital surveillance and control. Despite these difficulties, the singer marches forward, stripped of any illusions or false hopes.
The repeated phrase "Achtung ajajajaj" serves as a call to attention, urging listeners to pay heed to the year 2012. This suggests that the lyrics may be commenting on a specific time or period in which these issues are particularly prominent. The line "where you, there I am" implies that the singer is fully immersed in these struggles and actively involved in seeking change.
The second verse continues the theme of a sick country, with the singer refusing to surrender or give up. The mention of speed cameras hunting people underscores the idea of a surveillance state, where even everyday activities are monitored and controlled. Doors opening slowly symbolize the stagnation and lack of progress in the society. It is emphasized that it is high time for everyone to wake up from this state of complacency.
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the importance of paying attention to the year 2012 and questioning the whereabouts of both the listener and the singer in relation to these issues. The message is clear: there is a need for collective awareness and action.
The final verse underscores the importance of not succumbing to the sickness of the country. The lyrics highlight the idea that doing good deeds will eventually come back to the individual, while those who have caused chaos and harm should be the ones afraid. The consequences of sowing negativity are portrayed as a permanent state of dirtiness.
In summary, "Achtung 2012" by Farben Lehre addresses the challenges faced by the singer in a sick society. It calls for attention and awareness, urging listeners to wake up from their apathy. The lyrics portray a country plagued by surveillance, slow progress, and moral degradation. However, there is a strong emphasis on the power of doing good and the potential consequences of causing harm. Overall, the song serves as a rallying cry for change and a call to not give in to the negative influences present in society.
