True Crime Lyrics (English Translation) – ATZBR

You pray they believe your alibi
And now that?

You pray they believe your alibi
But the glove fit you perfectly
You cleaned the traces, you burned letters
But you left the gun in the elevator

They rejected your version
Expertise sang obsession

In the end everything was stained with burgundy
It no longer matters who is right
In the end you didn’t know how to ask for forgiveness
And a bullet remained in his temple as a memory

Now it’s gone, you have nothing left
You lost because you were arrogant like a god
You put your faith in your own farce
But it didn’t give 3, add a 2 with a 2

They punished your hostile action
Who made it is who paid for it

In the end everything was stained with burgundy
It no longer matters who is right
In the end you didn’t know how to ask for forgiveness
And a bullet remained in his temple as a memory

(“Go ahead, make my day”)

In the end everything was stained with burgundy
It no longer matters who is right
In the end you didn’t know how to ask for forgiveness
And a bullet remained in his temple as a memory

A bullet in the temple is not a form of expression
A bullet to the temple, it’s not a form of expression, oh no

The first stanza depicts a plea for belief in an alibi, emphasizing uncertainty with the repeated question “And now that?” The protagonist hopes their alibi will be accepted, but the subsequent line suggests doubt as evidence mounts against them. Despite attempts to erase traces and destroy incriminating letters, a crucial oversight—the gun left in the elevator—leads to their downfall.

The rejection of the protagonist’s version of events highlights the clash between their fabricated story and reality. The line “Expertise sang obsession” suggests that the meticulous examination of evidence reveals the depth of the protagonist’s obsession with covering their tracks, ultimately exposing their deception.

The recurring motif of burgundy symbolizes the irreversible consequences of the protagonist’s actions. The indifference towards who is right underscores the inevitability of justice, regardless of the protagonist’s futile attempts to evade it. Their failure to seek forgiveness is juxtaposed with the enduring memory of the fatal outcome, embodied by the bullet in the victim’s temple.

The loss and emptiness experienced by the protagonist signify the ultimate price of their arrogance and deception. Despite their belief in their own falsehoods, their downfall is inevitable, as indicated by the metaphorical expression “It didn’t give 3, add a 2 with a 2,” suggesting that their plan lacked substance from the start.
