Silly Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Du hast mich k.o. geschlagen,
ganz ohne Fäuste, ganz diskret.
Man hat mich aus dem Ring getragen,
und achtlos hinter den Kulissen abgelegt.

Du hast mich k.o. geschlagen,

mein Schädeldach fährt Karussell

darunter taumeln tausend wirre Fragen,
ich hatte keine Chance, es ging zu schnell.

Früher oder später

hetz ich meine Köter
auf dich, du Verräter.

Du hast mich k.o. geschlagen,

beim Lügen bist du ein begnadeter Poet.
Dein letzter Schwur liegt mir wie`n Stein im Magen,
man zählt die Hiebe ehe man zu Boden geht.

Früher oder später ...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Silly's song "Köter" describe the feeling of being emotionally defeated by someone's lies and deceit, even though there was no physical confrontation. The singer compares their mental state to being knocked out in a boxing ring, but without being hit physically. They are left with a confusion of a thousand questions and no answers. The second verse describes the deceiver as a gifted storyteller, but their promises hang heavily on the singer, leaving them feeling betrayed and hurt.

The chorus, "Früher oder später, hetz ich meine Köter auf dich, du Verräter", translates to "Sooner or later, I'll set my dogs on you, traitor". This can be interpreted as a metaphorical revenge, calling on one's own inner anger and frustration to strike back at the deceitful person. The use of the word "Köter", which means "mongrel" or "street dog", adds to the aggression and the feeling of being mistreated.

Overall, the song expresses the pain and anger of being deceived, and the desire to fight back against the person responsible. It talks about how emotional harm can be worse than physical harm, and how the emotional scars can linger for a long time.
