Cold War
Funker Vogt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somewhere down in mother Russia
They make plans to take the world
Thousands of veiled secrets
Hidden deep inside their rooms

With all their special agents
Trying to fool each other
Each side wants to be the smartest
In this abnormal war

But you always have to hear
Both sides of the story
It isn't just one country
Which we have to blame

I can go on with these stories
Until the last one is bored
But ignorance and stupidity
Will survive forever

Spy versus spy
Is the name of the game
When we are all left
There is no one to blame
Getting the power
Is the aim of the game




Lying to each other
All for the fame

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Funker Vogt's song Cold War talk about the pervasive sense of paranoia and mistrust that characterized the ideological conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union during the second half of the 20th century. The song starts by placing the listener in Moscow, where there are plans to conquer the world hidden deep inside secret rooms. The lyrics suggest that both the US and the USSR are playing a game of deception, with each side trying to outsmart the other using covert intelligence agencies. It's a war that is not conventional, with spies operating in the shadows and secret plans being executed silently.


As the song progresses, the lyrics suggest that there are always two sides to every story. The US cannot fully blame the Soviet Union for the conflict, and vice versa. The Cold War was not just a battle between two countries but represented a larger battle of ideologies. The theme of ignorance and stupidity is prevalent in the song, as the lyrics point out that these dangerous qualities exist on both sides of the conflict. There is a sense of hopelessness in the song, as it suggests that these patterns of behavior will continue indefinitely.


In conclusion, Funker Vogt's song Cold War provides a stark portrayal of the era of mistrust that characterized the Cold War. It highlights the constant struggle for power and the dangerous game of deception that both sides played during this time.
