ich kann's noch immer nicht verstehen
nie kam er mir mal zu nah
war sachlich kahl und souverän
Wir machten damals ein Vertrag
wir hatten uns geschworen
egal, was auch passieren solltwas ich ihm gab hat er eingefroren
Enttäuschung gab es da noch nie
lief Jahre lang in Harmonie
trockene Martinis Eis am Stiel
20 Grad Minus ihm war nichts zu kühl
Mein Freund der Kühlschrank
ja dann man tau
Kahli du hast mich sehr enttäuscht
und dir dir hatte ich blind vertraut
obwohl ich mir nicht sicher war
ob das Licht ausgeht wenn die Tür zuhaut
Wenn ich's mir jetzt richtig aberleg
warst du nie ganz sauber nee nee nee
ich hatte es eigentlich wissen massen
du mit deinem FCKW
Auf einmal tropfst du dumme Sauauf einmal fehlt dir das know how
in dir da stand mein letztes Bier
jetzt stehst du ziemlich lauwarm hier
mein Freund der Kühlschrank

The song "Der Kühlschrank" by Stoppok talks about an old refrigerator which has been working perfectly for many years. The singer expresses his disappointment as the appliance starts to fail, as it had been a reliable companion for so long. The lyrics describe the fridge as a sterile and practical object, devoid of any warmth or emotion, yet the singer had grown attached to it. The songwriter admits that he had taken the fridge for granted and had not realized until it started to fail just how important it had become in his life.
The singer reveals that he had made a contract with the fridge, promising to always take care of it, and never let it down. He had trusted the appliance, even though he was not sure about its reliability. The fridge had been a model of efficiency, keeping martinis dry and popsicles cold, and the singer trusted it with his most cherished possessions.
However, the fridge starts to leak, and it becomes apparent that it had not been maintained properly. The singer realizes that the fridge had been a source of pollution all along, leaking refrigerants that harm the environment. The fridge had been silently destroying the world, yet the singer had been too blinded by his attachment to the appliance to see it.
Overall, "Der Kühlschrank" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of taking things for granted, and the importance of being mindful of the environmental impact of our actions.
