Kriminal
Robin and the Backstabbers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I must.. stand my ground,
With the life breaking souls of youth.
I raise my hopes awfully high,
Now you must stand your ground,
With the life breaking souls of youth.
Raise it up you are the criminal,
So how does it feel to be the criminal,
Cause broken hopes calls it away..
Raise my words awfully loud,
Now you can hear no more,
https://Versuri.ro/w/xaw6
My lies going down the ditch.
Raise my hopes awfully high,
Now I can stand myself
With the life breaking souls of youth.
Raise it up I am the criminal,
Raise the glass for you to break,
So how does it feel to catch a criminal,
Broken glass calls it away..
How does it feel to catch a criminal,
Raise the glass for you to break,
How does it feel to be the criminal,
Raise a glass for you to break.
In "Kriminal," Robin and the Backstabbers explore the theme of shattered dreams and the emotional aftermath of chasing unrealistic hopes. The lyrics depict a sense of disappointment and resignation in facing the harsh realities of life. The repetition of "raise my hopes awfully high" suggests a pattern of building expectations only to have them dashed. The line "Now I must stand my ground, with the life-breaking souls of youth" emphasizes the heavy burden of carrying the weight of shattered dreams, perhaps implying that the pursuit of ambitious aspirations can be both exhilarating and damaging.
The chorus introduces the concept of being a criminal, metaphorically implying that the singer's high hopes and broken dreams are a form of self-inflicted punishment. The act of raising a glass, traditionally associated with celebration, is ironically linked to breaking it, further reinforcing the idea of self-destruction or self-sabotage. The repeated question "How does it feel to be the criminal" challenges the listener to reflect on the consequences of their actions and whether they are truly prepared to face the emotional toll of their choices.
Overall, "Kriminal" reflects the disillusionment and internal struggle that comes with striving for unreachable goals, highlighting the destructive consequences of holding onto unattainable dreams.

With the young souls who are being crushed by life

Toast to the destruction you will cause

Domnilor, definiția artistului care îți încântă urechile cu muzica lui este cea de pe scenă. Dacă îți place, cumperi bilet la concert și așa arăți că îl respecți.
@walterwhite2251
andrei, stii de ce muzica romaneasca e nasoala? pentru ca toti cauta albume mp3, nu cd-uri la magazine.eu cred ca baietii astia merita mai mult de 2 click-uri. Bafta !
@Razvy00795
You should take that idea to them, I think they'd like to know other countries listen to their music and most likely they will agree to come to Italy for a gig.
@Nckpa90
Are they coming to Italy for a gig?
@Andi1simple
25 de lei albumul? Eu cand l-am luat mi s-a parut o afacere. Asteptam de atata timp sa scoata si ei ceva cumparabil ca nu prea ii prindeam in concert.
