Oder wegen all den Tats
Ich bin dead Inside, my friend
Komm, und save mich vor mei′m End
Ja, sie guckt so, weil sie kennt
Oder wegen all den Tats
Ich bin dead Inside, my friend
Ja, sie guckt so, weil sie kennt
Oder wegen all den Tats
Ich bin dead Inside, my friend
Komm, und save mich vor mei′m End
Ich war am Boden, glaub mir, da wart ihr noch niе
Kids sind dreizehn, machen TikTok, machеn auf depressiv
T-low ist realer als real, wenn ich sag', dass ich gedealt hab
Bro, dann hab' ich gedealt, heh
Ich kill′ die Wine heut einfach so
Und popp′ die Benzos einfach so
Ich lass niemals wieder los
Jetzt hol ich Million'n
Ja, sie guckt so, weil sie kennt
Oder wegen all den Tats
Ich bin dead Inside, my friend
Komm, und save mich vor mei′m End
Ja, sie guckt so, weil sie kennt
Oder wegen all den Tats
Ich bin dead Inside, my friend
Komm, und save mich vor mei'm End
In T-Low's song, "Dead Inside," the lyrics express a sense of hopelessness and feeling despondent. The repetition of "Ja, sie guckt so, weil sie kennt/Oder wegen all den Tats" is German for "Yeah, she looks like that because she knows/or because of all the facts." The singer then repeats "I'm dead inside, my friend/Komm, und save mich vor mei'm End," which is English for "Come and save me from my end." The lyrics suggest that the singer is going through a tough time, and it is causing them to feel empty, lost, and hopeless. They seem to be seeking salvation from someone, a friend, or perhaps a lover.
Later in the song, T-Low states that he was at his lowest point when others were just children. The line "Kids sind dreizehn, machen TikTok, machen auf depressiv," translates to "Kids are thirteen, making TikTok, pretending to be depressed." T-Low also boasts about his past experience dealing drugs, implying that he has a darker past that he is trying to move away from. The repetition of "Ich kill die Wine heut einfach so/Und popp die Benzos einfach so" means "I'm killing the wine tonight just like that/And popping the Benzos just like that," perhaps indicating that he is self-medicating to cope with his mental state. However, he ends the song on a hopeful note, stating that he will never let go and that he will strive to achieve his dreams.
In summary, "Dead Inside" is a song about struggling with inner demons and seeking redemption. The lyrics suggest that T-Low is going through a rough patch and is in need of salvation from someone close to him. Despite his past mistakes and apparent self-medication, T-Low remains optimistic about his future and determined to succeed.
