Raum Der Zeit
Wizo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ich bin schwarz und behindert, doch genauso Mensch wie du
Ich bin hochintelligent, und doch so doof wie Sauerkraut
Ich bin schön, ich bin hässlich, ich bin fett und gut gebaut
Es gibt nichts (nichts)
Nichts was dich besser macht als mich
Denn auch du hast deine Fehler, deine Fehler so wie ich
Und die Fehler sind nix falsches, sie gehören zu dir und mir
Und wenn du 's nicht auf die Reihe kriegst, kann niemand was dafür
Du bist einer von Milliarden und das musst du akzeptieren
Du bist einer von Milliarden Ärschen auf der Welt
Deine Werte, deine Normen, die Moral und das Gesetz
Sind entbehrlich und ersetzbar, überflüssiges Geschwätz
Heute gültig, morgen nichtig, übermorgen umgekehrt
Was hier richtig oder wichtig, ist woanders ohne Wert
Deine Götter, deine Kirchen, Glauben, Beten, Religion
Heute heilig, morgen Frevel, übermorgen blanker Hohn
Und das Geld und der Ruhm, und die Unvergänglichkeit
Sind bei näherem Betrachten
Für 'n Arsch
Du bist nicht der Mittelpunkt des Universums
Du bist nur ein Arsch im Raum der Zeit
A E D C D C A G, A E D
A E D C D C A G, A E D
Du bist nicht der Mittelpunkt des Universums
Du bist nur ein Arsch im Raum der Zeit
Fick dich!
The song "Raum Der Zeit" by Wizo is a powerful criticism of society's obsession with differences and the way it tends to ostracize and dehumanize people for being different. The lyrics address some of the most controversial and sensitive topics such as sexual orientation, race, religion, politics, and physical appearance. The singer starts by describing himself as a gay, Jewish, communist, black, and disabled person but asserts that he is as much a human being as anybody else. He then makes the point that everybody has their share of flaws, and those flaws do not make them any less valuable or worthy of respect. In fact, he argues that it's our flaws that make us unique and interesting as individuals. The message is clear: we should embrace diversity and celebrate our differences instead of using them as a tool for discrimination and exclusion.
The second part of the song is even more radical in its approach. The singer attacks the very foundations of our social, moral, and religious systems, arguing that they are all arbitrary and interchangeable. He dismisses the concepts of values, norms, morality, and law as mere chatter that changes from one day to the next. Similarly, he ridicules the idea of divine authority and faith as empty rituals that mean nothing in the end. And finally, he ridicules the idea of wealth, fame, and immortality, arguing that they are ultimately meaningless and serve no purpose in the grand scheme of things. His point is crystal clear: we should stop worshiping false ideals and start looking for meaning and purpose in our own lives.

I'm gay, I'm Jewish
and a communist to boot!
I'm black, handicapped
But I'm just as human as you
I'm highly intelligent
And as dumb as a pickled cabbage
I'm good-looking, I'm ugly,
I'm fat and well-built
There's nothing-
Nothing that makes you better than me
Because you've got your faults too,
Faults, just like me
And there's nothing wrong with faults,
They belong to you and me,
And if you can't hack it at something,
No one can change it for you.
You are one of billions
And you've got to accept that
You're one of billions of asses in the world
Your values, your norms,
Ethics and laws
Are expendable and replaceable-
Superfluous gossip
Valid today, void tomorrow
The day after completely reversed
What's right or important here
Is in other places without worth
Your gods, your churches,
Beliefs, prayers, religion
Holy today, sacrilege tomorrow
And the next day utter scorn
And the money and the fame
And the immortality
Are on closer observation-to no avail1
You are not the center of the universe
You are just an ass in a space of time
AETC TCAG- AET
AETC TCAG- AET
You are not the center of the universe
You are just an ass in a space of time
Fuck you!
