Come up and see me
Come up and see me
Come up and see me sometime
Come up and see me
Come up and see me
Come up and see me sometime

Ich steh auf dem Dach
Ich warte vehement
Ich warte immernoch
Die Füsse in Zement
Solange ich noch …
Solange ich noch noch noch noch noch …
warten kann

Come up and see me
Come up and see me
Come up and see me sometime
Come up and see me
Come up and see me
Come up and see me sometime
Come up and see me
Come up and see me
Come up and see me sometime

Ich steh auf dem Dach
Ich warte vehement
Ich warte auch noch später
Die Füsse in Zement
Die Junkies steigen üher die Dacher in die Häuser ein,
kleine Kids die durch kleine Fenster passen.
"Are you happy to see me, or is that a gun in your pocket?"

Come up and see me
Come up and see me
Come up and see me sometime
Come up and see me / a short kiss and a long embrace
Come up and see me / a short kiss and a long embrace
Come up and see me sometime
Come up and see me / a short kiss and a long embrace
Come up and see me / a short kiss and a long embrace
Come up and see me sometime
Come up and see me / a short kiss and a long embrace




Come up and see me / a short kiss and a long embrace
Come up and see me sometime

Overall Meaning

The song "Come Up and See Me" by Teho Teardo & Blixa Bargeld can be interpreted in different ways, but some of its themes include waiting, anticipation, and the media's influence on society. The repeated lines "Come up and see me sometime" can be seen as an invitation to connect with someone, but also as a plea for attention or validation. The verse "Ich steh auf dem Dach, ich warte vehement" (I stand on the roof, I wait vehemently) sets the scene of someone waiting and longing for something or someone to arrive.


The following lines describe a forest of antennas belonging to different TV channels and news networks, which can be interpreted as a reflection on the saturation of media in today's world. The mention of "The man who screwed a whole country" can be seen as a criticism of political leaders or powerful individuals who abuse their power and cause harm to society.


The final verse describes the desperation of some people who resort to breaking into buildings, and the ambiguous phrase "Are you happy to see me, or is that a gun in your pocket?" can be seen as a reference to sexual arousal, but also as a warning of danger and violence.


Overall, "Come Up and See Me" is a provocative and thought-provoking song that invites multiple interpretations and reflections on contemporary society and human behavior.
