Overall Meaning

"Mekanik kommandoh" is a song by French progressive rock band Magma, which tells the story of a group of people who live in a dystopian society where a mechanical, totalitarian force controls their lives. The lyrics are a mix of invented words and phonetically-altered French and German, reflecting the band's focus on creating a unique musical and linguistic vocabulary in their music.


The song opens with the repeated phrase "Zïss ünt ëtnah," which translates to "Here and There." This can be interpreted as a representation of the duality of the society in the song, divided between those who are free and those who are controlled. The chorus repeats this phrase throughout the song, creating an almost ritualistic feel.


The lyrics then describe the people's struggle against the mechanical force that oppresses them. They chant "Dö wëhlïlïp döwatsïndöh," which means "Ten thousand times we will fight." They speak of the "Mëkanïk," the mechanical force that controls them, and their desire to break free from its grasp. The repeated use of "Hël Hël Hël" can be interpreted as a plea for help or as a chant of rebellion.
