Hände hoch
Silly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Was glaubst Du Arschloch,
wer Du bist,
Dir ist wohl nicht klar,
was hier gelaufen ist.
Mach Dich vom Acker,
raff Dein Gepäck,
ich hab Euch satt, Dein Face,
und Deinen gottverdammten Dreck.

Hau ab, such Dir `ne andere Braut
die Deine Käsesocken wäscht
und Dir den Fusel kauft.
Kann sein, das die mal nicht so will wie Du,
dann mach`s doch wie immer - schlag zu.

Hände hoch! Sonst knallt`s, fass' mich nicht an.
Hände hoch! Hier kommst Du nicht mehr an.

Lass stecken, genug gejault,
unser Match ist gelaufen,
Du hast schwer gefoult.
Zu so 'ner Kiste gehör'n immer zwei,
das Ding ist gelaufen
-abgehakt-aus und vorbei.





Hände hoch! Sonst knallt`s ...

Overall Meaning

The song "Hände hoch" by Silly is a powerful and confrontational track with hard-hitting lyrics that deal with issues of power, control, and confrontation. The song opens with a direct attack on the subject of the song, as the singer addresses him with the epithet "Arschloch" (asshole) and questions his sense of self-importance. The singer then demands that the subject leave, packing up his belongings and taking his "gottverdammten Dreck" (god-damned filth) with him.


The second verse is a warning to the subject, as the singer tells him to find another woman who will do his bidding, but warns that if he doesn't get what he wants, he should resort to violence instead. The chorus expresses the singer's determination to stand up for herself, telling the subject to put his hands up or else face the consequences, and asserting that he will not be able to get to her anymore. The final verse is a dismissal of the subject, as the singer declares that their relationship is over, and that it's time to move on.


Overall, the song is a strong and uncompromising statement of self-assertion and empowerment, challenging the subject to change his ways and respect the singer's boundaries. The fusion of punk rock, new wave, and electronic elements creates a visceral and pulsating sound that complements the raw and confrontational lyrics, making for a memorable and impactful song.
