Der Kommissar Lyrics
Zwei drei vier one two three
It's easy to see
But it's not that I don't care so
'Cause I hear it all the time
But they never let you know
On the TV and the radio
She was young her heart was pure
But every night night is bright she got
She said sugar is sweet
She come rappin' to the beat
Then I knew that she was hot
She was singin'
Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
You're in his eye
And you'll know why
The more you live
The faster you will die
Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?
She said babe you know
I miss Jill and Joe
And all my funky friends
But my street understanding
was just enough to know what she really meant
And I got to thinking while she was talking
That I know she told the story
Of those special places that she goes
When she rides with the others in the subway
Singin'
Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
And if he talks to you
And you don't know why
You say your life
Is gonna make you die...
Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?
Well we meet Jill and Joe
And brother Tim
And the whole cool gang and oh
They're rappin' here they're rappin' there
But she's climbin' on the wall
It's a clear case, Herr Kommissar
Cause all the children know
They're all slidin' down into the valley
They're all slipping on the same snow
Hear the children
Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
He's got the power
And you're so weak
And your frustration will not let you speak
Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
And if he talks to you
Then you'll know why
The more you live
The faster you will die
Don't turn around, oh oh
Der Kommissar's in town, oh oh
(repeat)
Meaning of Der Kommissar
“Der Kommissar” by After the Fire is a frantic, unsettling exploration of surveillance and control, wrapped in a repetitive, almost hypnotic rhythm. The song depicts a nameless “Kommissar,” a figure representing authority, who seems to exert a chilling influence over everyone he encounters. He’s a constant presence, demanding “Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?” – "Is everything clear?" – a question that reveals the futility of resistance and the inevitability of being observed. The lyrics detail fragmented conversations, hinting at a world where truth is distorted, individuals are manipulated, and ultimately, life itself is measured by this unseen power. The repeated “Don’t turn around” creates a sense of dread and suggests an inability to escape his gaze. It's a raw expression of anxiety about societal observation and the feeling of being trapped within a system that dictates your existence, leaving you vulnerable and powerless.
