Sarg translates directly to "coffin". It's a stark and impactful word that immediately grabs attention due to its morbid yet intriguing nature.
In the context of the song, the artist raps, "Und sterb' ich an den Drugs, dann leg' das Ice mit in den Sarg rein" (And if I die from the drugs, then put the ice in the coffin with me). This line reveals a dark and defiant attitude towards his lifestyle, using "Sarg" to emphasize the ultimate consequence while still clinging to symbols of his current life. It's a powerful and memorable image that stands out.
"Wake Up Call" is t-low's account of turning old pain into present success. The hook says he missed his own wake-up call, so now his hurt gets turned into cash instead, and the people who once laughed at him have to watch him laugh now.
The verses look at what that success actually costs. He's loyal to his crew (the "Lost Boys" and his "Bro" with a finger always on the trigger), shares what he earns, and still calls himself a winner even though he knows some of what he has isn't fully deserved. He also names the darker side directly: fighting his own demons, chasing ice and money instead of love, and admitting he wants to quit lean, Xanax and Perks but hasn't managed to stay clean for years.
The song ends back where it started, repeating the opening verse and hook, a reminder that even after everything he's gained, that missed wake-up call still hangs over him.
