Skit
G-Dub Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sieben Jahre war ich drinne
Meine Jugend hab ich drin verbracht
Mein' achtzehnten Geburtstag, auf den ich mich die ganzen Jahre gefreut hab'
Ich bin rausgekommen, meine Mama hat geweint
Weil ich frei war
Jetzt ging mein Bruder rein
Aber nein, nein, nein
Ich will wieder rein, denn ich fühl' mich nicht mehr frei
Nein, nein, nein, nein
Ich weiß, man sagt
„Lass sie fahnden nach den Falschen, weil sie nie die Wahren waren“
Aber Bruder, jetzt ist mein Bruder drin und das ist der einzig Wahre
Ich weiß nicht, wie ich das verarbeiten soll, aber
Ich kann einfach nur sagen
Ich vermiss' dich, mein Bruder
The lyrics in G-Dub's song Skit delve into the complex emotions surrounding the concept of freedom, particularly in the context of incarceration. The singer reflects on their own experience of being imprisoned for seven years and contemplating the meaning of freedom. They express a sense of longing and introspection, wondering what freedom truly is after spending their formative years behind bars.
The contrast between the anticipation of their eighteenth birthday, a milestone symbolizing newfound independence and adulthood, and the reality of being incarcerated during that time is stark. The singer's mother's tears upon their release highlight the emotional weight of regaining freedom after such a prolonged period of confinement. This moment of reuniting with their mother signifies a bittersweet victory, as freedom comes with its own set of complexities and challenges.
The narrative takes a poignant turn as the singer reveals that their brother has now entered prison, extinguishing their own sense of freedom. Despite outward appearances of liberty, the singer voices a deep desire to return to the confines of incarceration because they no longer feel free on the outside. The internal struggle between physical freedom and emotional captivity is palpable in these lines, highlighting the nuanced nature of freedom and its subjective interpretation.
The closing lines of the lyrics convey a profound sense of loss and longing as the singer expresses their deep love and missing their brother who is now imprisoned. This emotional turmoil further complicates their understanding of freedom, as the bonds of familial connection transcend physical barriers. The lyrics capture the intricacies of the human experience within the confines of confinement and the yearning for true liberation, whether behind bars or in the complexities of personal relationships.
