Crowd
Paprika Korps Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feel your attention
Drawed at the feeling which paralise you while disturbing the row
You're infected one
If while now listening this
Before rating this
Your eyes are looking forward to an opinion of rest of sheeps

Forward!

Is this a fear of being rejected I recognise within your eyes?
When you're able to think for yourself from time to time

And when you look so proud when carrying the flag
Hidden safely floating with the crowd from time to time

Overall Meaning

The song "Crowd" by Paprika Korps has lyrics that delve deep into the human psyche, particularly the desire for acceptance and the fear of rejection. The opening lines of the song describe how one's attention can be drawn towards a feeling that both paralyzes and disturbs them, making them feel infected. The listener is then implored to move forward, almost as if to suggest that they should fight against this feeling.

The second part of the song seems to be directed towards a specific person or group of people who are too afraid to form their own opinions and instead look towards others for validation. There is a sense of disdain towards these individuals who are like "sheep", blindly following the crowd. The lyrics also suggest that there is a fear of being rejected by this very same crowd, which is why many choose to hide in it, silently floating along.

Overall, "Crowd" seems to be a cautionary tale about the dangers of conformity and the importance of standing up for oneself. It is a call to action for listeners to break away from the crowd and start thinking for themselves.

When you're able to think for yourself from time to time
Sometimes, you do have the ability to think independently

And when you look so proud when carrying the flag

Hidden safely floating with the crowd from time to time
Sometimes you hide within the safety of the crowd and conform to their ways
