Virus
Nu Pagadi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bleib steh'n - geh weg
Hast du geglaubt, du hast mich entführt
Krepier - friss Dreck
Gib endlich auf, du hast mich nicht infiziert
Kein Kuss für den ich sterben muss
Refrain:

Cause you're being just a virus

You'll never ever be good for me
Cause you're being just a virus
And that's something I don't need
Du spielst - dein Spiel
Hast schon verlor'n vor dem ersten Zug
Denn ich - bleib kühl
Unverschwor'n, denn deine Liebe ist Betrug
Kein Kuss für den ich sterben muss
Refrain:

Cause you're being just a virus
You'll never ever be good for me
Cause you're being just a virus
And that's something I don't need
Dein Virus verfolgt mich, bis tief in die Nacht
Dein Virus zerfrisst mich, ich bin aufgewacht
Lauf wenn - du kannst
Bist du so stark und kommst an mir vorbei
Ich bin - die Angst

Der letzte Tag
Dein letzter Hoffnungsschrei

Overall Meaning

The song "Virus" by Nu Pagadi is a breakup anthem directed towards an ex who was toxic for the singer. In the verses, the singer commands their ex to "stay and leave" and declares that they did not "infect" them. The chorus repeats the message that the ex was like a virus and that they were never good for the singer. The second verse suggests that the ex was playing a losing game and that the singer would not fall for their deceitful love. The final lines of the song imply that the ex's "virus" had caused the singer pain but that they had finally woken up to the reality of the situation.

Overall, "Virus" conveys a sense of empowerment and independence in the face of a harmful relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer has moved on and is now stronger and wiser because of the experience. The theme of a toxic relationship and the idea that someone can be like a "virus" is universal, which makes the song relatable to many people.
