DIE ANTWOORD IS DEAD Lyrics

[Intro]
¡Die Antwoord!
¡Die Antwoord!
¡Die Antwoord!
¡Die Antwoord!
¡Die Antwoord!
¡Die Antwoord!
¡Die Antwoord!
Die Antwoord is dead
Die Antwoord is dead


[Verse 1: Ninja]
We all connected
Level up, get on that next shit
Decide what you want, then manifest it
I seen the future and it's lit
(Die Antwoord is–)
Energy
We all made of energy
You cannot destroy energy
There are no such things as enemies
Your enemies are you
Fuck normality
Normality is insanity
They get mad at me
'Cause I created my own reality
Groupies lose their mind
Celebrities wanna battle me
I love all you muthafuckaz
Yo, this crazy rap fantasy
Took me all around the world
And helped me care for my family
'Cause I got that
"Why join 'em if I can beat 'em" mentality
I'd like to take this opportunity
That fate has handed me
To take the knee and to ask:
Yo-Landi, will you marry me?

[Verse 2: Yo-Landi]
(Ja)
I'm a transformer
Little caterpillar singing, "Ai, Ai, Ai..."
I'm a transformer
Bust out of my cocoon, gimme room
I am your butterfly

Ek fokkie rondie
Vuil geboosted wereld kampiden
Die zef bokkie gaan voort
Ken tsy my nomma? Eks nomma een
Yo-Landi Visser van Die fokken Antwoord
(Van Die fokken Antwoord)

[Verse 3: Yo-Landi]
We are not from this planet, nah
We are just visiting it
We don't just talk about it, brah
The dream life, we living it
I believe your dream will come true
If you truly believe it
Give it your best shot, I love you!
Yo, music is a feeling
If you feel it, you believe it
Even though you can't see it
If you feel it, you believe it
Even though you can't touch it
Music is my love and my love is invincible
Music is my life and my life is a miracle
[Bridge: Yo-Landi]
Now let the zef drop!
Die Antwoord is dead
Die Antwoord is dead

(Yeah, let's fucking do it)
Die Antwoord is–
Fokkof!

[Outro: Yo-Landi]
Be happy

Genius Annotation

“DIE ANTWOORD IS DEAD” is a non-album single by Die Antwoord. It is their first to be produced by Naald. The song was intended to announce the band’s retirement, but, shortly after releasing the song, they posted that they had changed their minds:

From the beginning we always said Die Antwoord would only ever make 5 albums, then we would end the band. After we finished our 5th album we decided to make a special goodbye song dedicated to all our zef fans, called DIE ANTWOORD IS DEAD.

But when we finished the song, we thought: ‘F**k this track is so sick! How can we end this band? We can’t, it’s too cool! So the funny thing is, because of a song called DIE ANTWOORD IS DEAD we decided to keep Die Antwoord alive. We tried to kill it, but it just wouldn’t die😛.

On a personal level this song represents the end of an old DA adventure and the beginning a new one 💫
