Kammerflimmer Kollektief Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So turn me around and face the wall
And read me my rights and tell me I am wrong
Until it gets into my thick skull
A slap on the wrist
A stab in the back
Torture me, I've been a bad boy
I lost before I did any wrong
(Whoa-Oh-oh)
I'm hexed with regrets and bad luck
So keep your distance, it's rubbing off
Or you will be damned to spend your life in hell
On Earth with me tangled at your feet
You finally met your nemesis
Disguised as your fatal long-lost love
So kiss it goodbye
Until death do we part
You fell for a jinx for crying out loud
I'm a curse hangin' around you
I'm a curse hangin' around you
I'm a curse hangin' around you
I'm a curse hangin' around you
The Kammerflimmer Kollektief's song Jinx is an emotional exploration of personal responsibility and the consequences of our actions. The opening line, "I fucked up again, it's all my fault," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is admitting to their wrongdoing and feels the weight of their actions. The subsequent lines, "So turn me around and face the wall / And read me my rights and tell me I am wrong / Until it gets into my thick skull," indicates that the singer is willing to accept the punishment for their actions and wants to make sure that they fully understand the gravity of their choices.
The chorus then comes in with a powerful repetition of "I'm a curse hanging around you." This line is significant because it suggests that the singer believes that their actions not only affect themselves but also those around them. The line "So keep your distance, it's rubbing off / Or you will be damned to spend your life in hell / On Earth with me tangled at your feet" reinforces this idea that the singer feels like they are a burden to others and that they do not want to bring anyone down with them.
The song's title, Jinx, alludes to the idea that the singer is believed to bring bad luck to others. This ties in with the idea of being a curse hanging around others. The line "You finally met your nemesis / Disguised as your fatal long-lost love" suggests that the singer has caused harm to someone they care about deeply. The final lines, "You fell for a jinx for crying out loud," is a cry of frustration and self-loathing. Overall, the song is a reflection of the consequences of our choices and the impact that they can have on those around us.
