MONOPOLY
200 Sachen Lyrics

The lyrics of 200 Sachen's song Monopoly describe the board game Monopoly in a metaphorical way, as a representation of life where the singer is determined to come out on top. The lyrics begin with the singer starting the game, eager to collect as much money as possible by landing on the right spaces and avoiding the pitfalls of the game. The use of the phrase "ich hab die Karten dick gezinkt" implies that the singer is cheating or at least manipulating the game to their benefit, showing a sense of arrogance and cunning in their gameplay. This arrogance is further demonstrated with the repetition of "Ich mach das Spiel," emphasizing the singer's confidence in their ability to win.

As the game progresses, the tension rises and the stakes become higher, with the mention of "Schlossallee, Opernplatz, Südbahnhof, Dreierpasch" representing some of the more valuable and risky spaces on the board. The brief mention of "wortloser Stress" suggests a tense atmosphere and perhaps even arguments or disagreements amongst the players. However, the singer remains confident in their strategy to reach their goal, and the repetition of "Ich mach das Spiel" becomes almost like a chant.

In the end, the singer loses the game, evident in the final line "Und ich verlier das Spiel!" This outcome is unexpected after the constant repetitiveness of their mantra – it shows that even with all their efforts to cheat and control the game, there are still some elements out of their control that can lead to failure. The lyrics of Monopoly can be interpreted as a cautionary tale against arrogance and greed, highlighting the importance of humility and recognizing the limits of one's power.
