Light
KMFDM Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Instant consecration, mind and body fusion
Frontal assault on the seven senses
Orgasmic waste, eccentric and pretentious
KMFDM, doing it again
A treat for the freaks, truth or dare
Are you ready for this? we don't care
Godlike nonsense being thrown at you
We keep simple, tough and outright
Easy to swallow, KMFDM light
KMFDM, doing it again
A treat for the freaks, truth or dare
How low can you go? we don't care
In a world of deceit, open your eyes
What we do for you, so good for you
Don't be afraid and you'll realize
What you do for me, so good for me
One way or another, now or later
Bow down and worship the true creator
Musik ist macht, eine ausgesprocheneVerbindung von Schlau und Dunn.
Geruschschtigen wird unter immensemDruck und Leidenschaft grossteFreude und Vertrauen abgesaugt.
Der Heldenriff ist der Froschfresser.
Der Rhythmus ein schoner Schwan.
Nur die Worte ein Blutegel an deinem gehirn.
Keiner macht fur dich mehr.
Take a good plunge and out from the masses
Bend over backwards and kick some asses
Call 1-800, accept no imitation
KMFDM, one world, one nation

The band sings about their music as a form of blind inspiration and total disillusion with a frontal assault on the senses that culminates in a mind-body fusion. They make no apologies for their eccentric and pretentious nature and revel in the fact that their music is a treat for the freaks. The band deifies data and throws godlike nonsense at the listener while insisting that what they do is good for them. KMFDM's lyrics bring into focus how music can be a form of power that can manipulate the listener and give them a new perspective on the world around them.
The lines "Musik ist macht, eine ausgesprochene Verbindung von Schlau und Dunn / Geruschschtigen wird unter immensem Druck und Leidenschaft grosste Freude und Vertrauen abgesaugt" translate to "Music is power, an explicit connection of smart and stupid / Noise is sucked up under immense pressure and passion, creating great joy and trust."
