Attentat translates to "assassination" or "attack". It's a strong and provocative word that immediately grabs attention, especially given its serious connotations.
In the context of Wizo's punk rock anthem, the word is used to describe acts of rebellion against the state, as in "Ab und zu ein Attentat" (Every now and then an assassination/attack). This word is central to the song's theme of radical protest and defiance, making it both memorable and indicative of the song's intense message.
**“Kein Gerede” – literally “No More Talking” – is Wizo’s raw punk manifesto that swaps polite protest for loud, unapologetic action. Over a blitz of guitars the band rails against prisons, palaces, banks and the politicians they call “Bonzen,” painting them all as symbols of an oppressive system. Every shouted line is a demand to stop chatting, start sawing power poles, break barriers, and reclaim what the powerful have stolen. The track’s fiery imagery and rapid-fire chants mirror the urgency of classic 90s German punk, inviting listeners into a world where rebellion is not a concept but an immediate task.
At its core the song is less about literal bomb-making and more about shaking people awake. Wizo uses extreme language to spotlight social inequality, state violence and corporate greed, then argues that only direct – even chaotic – resistance can bring peace, freedom and ultimately anarchy. It is a sonic Molotov cocktail that urges the oppressed to “make kaputt what makes you kaputt.” Whether you hear it as a call for revolution or a metaphor for breaking mental chains, “Kein Gerede” captures the anarchic spirit of punk: provocative, cathartic and impossible to ignore.
