New Dubby Conquerors
Seeed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Conquerin' the air and land
See the stupid sun now yeah yeah
Growin to a capital plant
Open up your mind and you find this sound
Mix of every tin gong and add the ground
Una come far jungle jeep before we on
International rude boys are right and wrong
Somebody say new dubby conqueror, dem inna town
We appear never since the reggae boys kick balla
The world is no smaller
Ey, der alte Jadi zeigte lange keine Regung
Doch mit dem Bass kommt er langsam in Bewegung
Wir sind der Juppie-Wecker der ihn jeden Abend weckt
Wir sind das Gras, das ihm um die Ohren wächst
Wir gehen den weiten Weg in's Land der tausend Honigblüten
Singen und swingen und klingen anders als die ander'n Typen
Bis 180 krumm aber die Musik geht grad
Aus ohne Rücksicht auf die (Haut)Farbe
Comin' from down under the ground
Conquerin' the air and land
See the stupid sun now yeah yeah
Growin to a capital plant
Comin' from down under the ground
Conquerin' the air and land
See the stupid sun now yeah yeah
Growin to a capital plant
Open up your mind and you find this sound
Mix of every tin gong and add the ground
Una come far jungle jeep before we on
We feel upset cause the singer have an unaccepted look
International rude boys are right and wrong
Somebody say new dubby conqueror, dem inna town
We appear never since the reggae boys kick balla
The world is no smaller
Wir ham beschlossen nicht zu gehn bevor das Herz stehn bleibt
Mitten im Gedränge vor der Plattenpresse, Herrlichkeit
Von 13 wegen zum Erfolg sind 12 zu weit
Breitgetreten ist der Weg der übrig bleibt
Wie so viele, denken wir es ist vorher bestimmt
Außer dem für einen Ehrenplatz im Entertainment - Olymp
Doch da nur wichtig ist was ist und nicht was wäre
Reisen wir für unsre Karriere
Comin' from down under the ground
Conquerin' the air and land
See the stupid sun now yeah yeah
Growin to a capital plant
Comin' from down under the ground
Conquerin' the air and land
See the stupid sun now yeah yeah
Growin to a capital plant
Comin' from down under the ground
Conquerin' the air and land
See the stupid sun now yeah yeah
Growin to a capital plant
Comin' from down under the ground
Conquerin' the air and land
See the stupid sun now yeah yeah
The lyrics of Seeed's song "New Dubby Conquerors" capture the essence of the band's unique sound and style. The title itself is a play on words, combining "dubby" to refer to their reggae and dub influences, and "conquerors" referring to their determination to succeed in the music industry. The first verse talks about the band's roots, coming from "down under the ground" to conquer the air and land with their music. The line "see the stupid sun now yeah yeah, growing to a capital plant" may refer to their growing fame and success, likening it to a plant that has grown to its full potential.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of keeping an open mind to their sound, which is a mix of every "tin gong" and "add the ground." In the second verse, the band talks about encountering obstacles and feeling upset because of their "unaccepted look."

The third verse talks about the band's determination to succeed, even when the odds seem stacked against them. They refuse to give up until their "heart stops beating" and are willing to travel any distance to further their career.
Overall, the lyrics of "New Dubby Conquerors" speak to the band's quest to make their mark in the music industry with their unique sound and style, and their refusal to let anything stand in their way.
