KMFDM – Potz Blitz! Lyrics 13 years ago
Hello, do you want to have a meaning for this song? I have an interesting meaning for you:

The song is about an evil person that decides to choose the "bad way" (this means murdering, raping and so on). This person decides to be a felon, because he wants to be the felon. The narrator in the text tries to help him with "do what you want" ([...but don't become a felon!]). Let's look to the text directly:

========================
Part of the whole
Madness apparatus
Sleeper cell
In Verräterstaat
Struck by Lightning
Thunderstruck from rigor mortis out
Catapulted
===========================

The human fetus is in the creation and therefore he is alive and part of the whole >world<. Now it is his decission in the mother body to choose the good way ("don't kill!") or the bad way ("I will torture!"). If he chooses the evil way, then he is a traitor in a traitor state, because being good was a rule and he broke it. Now he is a felon and he wants >lighting< (torture weapons).

========================
Thunder and lightning
Know thyself
Find The Mass
Do What You Want
Thunder and lightning
To the ends of the earth
Thunder and lightning
Like mad
==========================

Here the narrator tries to help the becoming felon.

===========================
Dud
Origin not known
Unpredictable
Out of control
===========================


Here the narrator tells the felon that he is known (sarcastically). Everybody knows him and he may be punished for deciding to be evil!

===========================
For better or worse
Hell-bent on
Despite all the warning to
Full speed ahead

Naked horror
Blanker Hohn
Sold Betrayed
Judas

For better or worse
Hell-bent on
Beyond Good and Evil
Great speed ahead
===========================

Here the narrator describes the way of the evil. How do they choose to be evil? How?

===========================
Last advance
The boundaries of the
Nothing Is Umöglich
Self-determination all alone
=========================

This is the last help of the narrator: don't become a felon like Charles Manson!

Conclusion: Very interesting song for me: KMFDM shows in this song that felons cannot be mentally ill, they decide what they want to do and what they want to be: a felon!
