Back then they all were in different bands until they found singer J.D. in 1997. Together the group started to rock the house as a post-punk band.

During that time it came to a major deal, several entries in music charts and playtime on MTV Germany. After J.D. quit, the band kept going as a trio. They went back to their roots and thought about their strength in music: more metal and a bigger, badder sound! This marks the birth of Sub Dub Micromachine.

The SDMM phenomenon made its rounds: there wasn’t a club in the country the ‘Micromachine’ didn’t bring to the boiling point. The first album called Rabautz! was finally released in the spring of 2002 on Tubareckorz/SPV.The songs were down to the point, talking about real life situations: everything from love to hate, everyday craziness and the sometimes hard life of a musician.

The second album entitled Auferstanden! followed in 2008 along with a lavish high-quality music video for “Road to Nowhere”. As of 2014 the band is back in studio and recording their third album.

BULLSHIT
Sub Dub Micromachine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Realize, it's too late to lie / Who was the sucker by your side
Trough my tears I saw your smile / Felt the pain but couldn't cry

Your excuse I don't want to hear / I had to bear it for too long
Your fuckin' voice offends my ears / Get to hell this time I'll be strong

Don't tell me lies
Stop / Don't waste my time

Your / Don't waste your time
Prate / Don't waste our time
Now

Chorus:
Don't talk bullshit / Bullshit don't talk

Stop your cry / I don't give a fuck
Ain't no chance / Shut the fuck up
I refuse your fuckin' game / Now you're begging but in vain
No matter what you wanna do / No matter what you wanna say
No matter what was in the past / Never ever I'll kiss your ass

Don't tell me lies
Stop / Don't waste my time
Your / Don't waste your time
Prate / Don't waste our time
Now

Chorus

Overall Meaning

The song "Bullshit" by Sub Dub Micromachine is an expression of frustration and anger towards a partner who has been lying and manipulating the singer for too long. The first verse conveys the singer's realization that they can no longer believe the lies their partner has been feeding them, and the subsequent feeling of betrayal when they think of their partner's past behavior. The singer also feels unable to cry, perhaps suggesting that they have been hardened by their experiences.

The second verse is a direct address to the partner, with the singer refusing to listen to any excuses or lies. The partner's voice is described as offensive and the singer is determined to be strong this time and not be led astray again. The chorus repeats the title phrase "Don't talk bullshit" as a clear rejection of any further deception from the partner.

The third verse is even more confrontational, with the singer telling the partner to stop crying and swearing at them to "shut the fuck up". The singer has reached a point where they can no longer play the partner's game and refuses to be swayed by their pleas. The final lines of the chorus reinforce the singer's independence and reassert their refusal to be fooled again.
