FAWM: "Hinterhältiges"

Hinterhältiges

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

#lyricsonly #german
I looked for a similar word that I felt like I understood, though I am far from fluent in German. I got only lyrics for a verse and chorus before I ran out of time. There should be a second verse along the same lines. This is about suspecting that a person’s persistent small compliments are digs.

Lyrics

Ich habe dich sagen hören,
Dass ich Leute kenne.
Und ich habe dich sagen hören,
Dass ich Bücher lese.
Und ich habe Sie sagen hören,
Dass meine Rechtschreibung korrekt ist.
Und ich habe dich sagen hören,
Dass ich ein Auto habe, das läuft.

Eine gute Qualität
Und ein Kompliment ist es,
Aber es ist die Art,
Wie du es klingen lässt.

Hinterhältiges
Hinterhältiges
Hinterhältiges
Hinterhältiges

I heard you say
That I know people.
And I heard you say
That I read books.
And I heard you say
That my spelling is correct.
And I heard you say
That I have a car that runs.

It is a good quality
And a compliment,
But it is the way
You make it sound

Seems like a good response to the skirmish based on the interpretation you shared. Good structure.

In German colloquial language we have word called "hinterfotzig" (rather vulgar, but not as much as it sounds). I think that expresses the sentiment rather aptly.
