Special K
Timo Maas/Andy Bolleshon/Martin Buttrich/Placebo/Severe Loren Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Coming up beyond belief
On this coronary thief
(Bada bam bam ba da da da)
(Bada bam bam ba da da da)
More than just a leitmotif
More chaotic, no relief
(Bada bam bam ba da da da)
(Bada bam bam ba da da da)
I'll describe the way I feel
Weeping wounds that never heal
(Bada bam bam ba da da da)
(Bada bam bam ba da da da)
Can the savior be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal?
(Bada bam bam ba da da da)
(Bada bam bam ba da da da)

No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever wanna crash
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Now you're back with dope demand
I'm on sinking sand
Gravity, no escaping
Gravity
Gravity, no escaping
Not for free
I fall down
Hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around

I'll describe the way I feel
You're my new Achilles heel
(Bada bam bam ba da da da)
(Bada bam bam ba da da da)
Can this savior be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal?
(Bada bam bam ba da da da)
(Bada bam bam ba da da da)

No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever wanna crash
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Now you're back with dope demand
I'm on sinking sand
Gravity, no escaping
Gravity
Gravity, no escaping
Not for free
I fall down
Hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around

No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
Gravity

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Special K" by Timo Maas, Andy Bolleshon, Martin Buttrich, Placebo, and Severe Loren depict the feeling of being addicted to a drug, which the singer compares to falling under the influence of gravity. The opening line, "coming up beyond belief on this coronary thief," speaks to the rush of the drug and how it can cause physical reactions in the body. The lyrics go on to describe the chaos and lack of relief experienced by the addict, and the feeling of being unable to escape the hold of the drug, represented by the recurring line, "no escaping gravity." The savior spoken of in the song could be interpreted as a metaphor for trying to break free from the addiction, but the question remains whether it is possible or even real.


The chorus of the song, "no hesitation, no delay, you come on just like special K," emphasizes the feeling of being overwhelmed and unable to resist the drug. The comparison to Special K, a street name for the drug Ketamine, underscores the destructive nature of addiction and the sense of losing control. The lyrics also allude to the physical toll of using drugs, with the line "weeping wounds that never heal."


Overall, the lyrics of "Special K" paint a vivid picture of the experience of addiction, with all its highs and lows, and the feeling of being trapped in its grasp.
