Die Ozonlöcher in den Köpfen
Antitainment Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ich bin ein Sack Zement
Auf Beerdigung denke ich mir Witze aus
Doch kalt ist nicht gleich leblos
Ihr Deppen
Und eigentlich hab ich mir abgewöhnt
Mit Toten zu sprechen
Denn von dort haben wir es nicht so weit nach haus
Noch einmal rumzappeln
Und die Mundwinkel im Wind auf und abwiegen
Das sieht nach Leben aus
Noch 15 Jahren sagen sie
Mach was draus
Kondolenz und Blumenkauf
Ab heute jeden Tag ne Beisetzung
The lyrics of Antitainment's song "Die Ozonlöcher in den Köpfen" speak about feeling emotionally stuck and deadened, even as life goes on around the singer. He compares himself to an ice block or a bag of cement, conveying a sense of heaviness and immobility. Despite this, he still finds moments of wry humor, such as making jokes at funerals. The singer acknowledges that he has stopped speaking to the dead, perhaps signifying a loss of faith or connection with spiritual beliefs.
The chorus speaks to the idea of dancing on graves, not necessarily out of disrespect but perhaps as a way of acknowledging the inevitability of death and our own mortality. The line "noch einmal rumzappeln" can be interpreted as a call to live life to the fullest, to keep moving and experiencing as much as possible before our time is up. The singer recognizes that life is fleeting and that death will come to us all, but he doesn't want to waste any opportunities to feel alive and present.
Overall, the song seems to grapple with existential questions of purpose and meaning, while also finding some solace in the simple act of living. It presents a somewhat bleak but also humorous and ultimately hopeful view of the human condition.
