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.
SO FAR
Sub Dub Micromachine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hear your twaddle / Gets on my nerves
You'll never stop / I know you well
My endless suffering / Is your wealth
Chorus:
So I want to be so far away
Ask for air to breathe / Want to be glad
My whole life through you watch over me
Eternal torture / My destiny
Chorus:
Eat shit / Tacky bitch / Suck my dick
One day you'll get all back / I'll be strong
You make my anger go strong
You bring me down / Suppress my mind
My opposition / A thorn in your side
Dreams melt away / Like trails of smoke
I rack my brain / Protect my soul
- repeat first verse -
Chorus
The lyrics of Sub Dub Micromachine's song SO FAR talk about the frustration and oppression caused by a controlling and demanding authority figure. The singer expresses their annoyance and irritation towards this person who constantly preaches rules to be followed, and whose constant surveillance causes the singer endless suffering. The singer's existence seems to revolve around the authority figure, causing the singer to feel trapped and deprived of their freedom. The singer desires respect and space to breathe, but the constant control and manipulation causes them to feel suffocated and hopeless. The chorus expresses the singer's desire to escape from this toxic environment and be far away from the source of their torment.
As the song progresses, the singer's frustration turns into anger, leading them to lash out against the authority figure. The singer uses vulgar and offensive language to express their rage towards the person who has caused them so much pain. The singer vows to become stronger and rise above the control and oppression they have endured, and the catchphrase "eat shit, tacky bitch, suck my dick" serves as a triumphant declaration of independence and defiance. The singer's opposition and anger towards the authority figure may cause their dreams to melt away like smoke, but they remain determined to protect their soul, even if it means being so far away from the person who has caused them so much misery.
