Mocht ik onder het feesten vergaan
Laat dan op mijn grafsteen schrijven
Ik was te strak om op te staan..
The lyrics of Party Animals's song "Mocht ik onder het hakken bezwijken" talk about the intense experience of partying and dancing, and the idea that it can be so overwhelming that one may collapse or even die. The first line translates to "If I were to collapse while dancing," and the second line means "If I were to vanish while partying." The third line is a request to put the phrase "I was too high to stand up" on their grave if that were to happen.
The lyrics capture the essence of the hardstyle genre of music, which is known for its fast beats and energetic tone. The "hakken" referred to in the song title is a form of hardcore dancing that originated in the Netherlands in the early 1990s; it involves kicking the legs out to the sides in time with the music. The song speaks to the extreme intensity of this type of dancing and the culture that surrounds it.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of embracing one's own mortality and living life to the fullest. The phrase "let's party like there's no tomorrow" comes to mind, as the song encourages listeners to fully immerse themselves in the experience of the dance floor.
Overall, the lyrics to "Mocht ik onder het hakken bezwijken" capture the essence of the hardstyle party culture, where the music, dancing, and community all come together to create an incredibly intense experience.
