Déjà vu
Fokofpolisiekar Lyrics

The lyrics to Fokofpolisiekar's Déjà Vu, which translates to "already seen," describe a sense of repetition and exhaustion, both physically and emotionally. The first two lines set the scene of rain falling on brown bricks, a repeated occurrence. The next few lines show a scene of chaos with gunshots ringing out and a woman who is constantly rebellious and worn out. The singer then questions his own authority and right to fight, saying he would rather avoid confrontation and keep one hand on her neck.

The second verse brings up the constant noise of sirens and the need for survival, comparing life to a plane ride where you need to put on your oxygen mask before helping others. The chorus repeats the same questions of authority and the desire to avoid confrontation but with a slight shift in language in the final line, implying that the singer is willing to use force if necessary. The bridge touches on the idea of being rarely satisfied but often content with the miracle of surviving. The song ends with the repetition of "it was worth it" and the acknowledgement that the singer would rather avoid confrontation, but will still fight for what he believes in.
