Selbstmord Lyrics in English by SDP

Selbstmord directly translates to "suicide." It's a striking and intense word that immediately grabs attention, especially given the song's dark humor and provocative narrative.

In the context of the song, the narrator repeatedly uses "Selbstmord" to describe the supposed deaths of his disliked colleagues and boss, comically denying his own involvement by claiming they committed suicide. This ironic and morbid use of the word is central to the song's edgy and memorable theme.

SDP's "Selbstmord" (Suicide) is a darkly comedic and over-the-top fantasy of revenge against annoying people, especially a terrible boss. The lyrics are full of violent imagery, but it's all presented with a tongue-in-cheek attitude, making it clear the narrator isn't actually committing these acts.

The song starts with the narrator fantasizing about getting back at his boss, who he calls an "Arsch" (asshole). He dreams of greeting him with a punch to the face and bringing him coffee with "Rattengift" (rat poison). The scenarios get more extreme, with bombs in cars and TNT in cigars, all leading to the narrator pulling his boss into a "Reißwolf" (shredder). The recurring chorus, "Das war Selbstmord, Selbstmord" (That was suicide, suicide), is the narrator's sarcastic alibi, claiming he just happened to witness these unfortunate "suicides." It's a wild ride of exaggerated frustration and a hilarious way to vent about everyday annoyances!
