Der Abschiedsbrief
Terrorgruppe Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

MC komm nie wieder
Denk nicht mehr an mich
Du bist ein Verlierer,
Warum lieb ich dich?
Du kannst mir nichts bieten
Und du liebst mich nicht
Liebst nur meine Kohle
Drum verlass ich dich

Du trinkst zuviel Whiskey
Hängst in dunklen Bars
Das ist auch schon alles
So wirds sein so war's
Geb ich dir mal Geld
Verlierst du es im Spiel
Jede feste Arbeit wird dir schnell zuviel
Früher war ich glücklich
Wollt' von dir ein Kind
Du singst "Kinderwahnsinn"
War ich denn so blind?
Du fickst jede andre
Jede nur nicht mich
Ich spring von der Brücke
Interessiert dich nicht
MC komm nicht wieder
Denk nicht mehr an mich

Du bist ein Verlierer
Darum lieb ich dich

Overall Meaning

The song "Der Abschiedsbrief" by the German punk band, Terrorgruppe, is an emotional farewell letter from a woman to her partner, MC. The lyrics describe a troubled and one-sided relationship, where the woman feels unloved and unappreciated. She starts by telling MC that he is not to come back and not to think of her anymore. She calls him a loser and wonders why she still loves him. She acknowledges he cannot offer her anything, and he does not love her, only her money. She then explains how he drinks too much and spends time in dark bars, and that's all there is to him.

Furthermore, the woman tells MC that when she gives him money, he loses it in gambling. He cannot keep steady work and cannot take care of her the way she needs him to. She reminisces about how happy she was before and wanted to start a family with him, but now all he sings about is "crazy kids." Ultimately, she accuses him of sleeping with other women but not with her, taking all that she gave him for granted. The woman feels trapped, hopeless, and ignored, leaving her no choice but to jump from a bridge. She repeats her farewell one last time, emphasizing that he is a loser, and that's why she loves him no more.

Several interesting features of "Der Abschiedsbrief" are worth noting. Here are some:
