Für etwas mehr als dich
Astra Kid Lyrics

The lyrics of Astra Kid's song "Für etwas mehr als dich" expresses a feeling of disillusionment towards someone who used to be significant in their life. The repetition of the statement "Wahrscheinlich habe ich dich ein bisschen überschätzt" (probably I overestimated you) highlights the disappointment felt towards this person, and the realization that they may not be as important as they once seemed. The feeling of being overshadowed by this individual is portrayed through the line "Wahrscheinlich komm ich heute nicht zu Wort" (probably I won't get a chance to speak today), emphasizing that this person is taking control of the power dynamic in this relationship.

The chorus of the song "Denn ich brauch mich für etwas mehr als dich" (because I need myself for something more than you) serves as the realization that the singer deserves more than what this other person is bringing to the table. The line "Ja du hast ein Recht auf deine Meinung und du hast das Recht zu schweigen" (yes, you have the right to your opinion and the right to stay silent) acknowledges the other person's right to exist, but also highlights the futility of their opinions in the grander scheme of things. The song concludes with the realization that the singer will never see this person again, and they can only laugh at the thought of this person having any significant impact on their life.

Overall, "Für etwas mehr als dich" is a song that portrays the realization of one's self-worth and the futility of putting too much stock into another individual's opinions. It is a cathartic expression of disappointment and moving on, and a celebration of the value of one's own self.
