Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heute stehen die Uhren auf Strike
Das Auge sieht soweit der Rubel reicht
Tijuana, New Mexico, First-Class
Immer hin mit uns, runter vom Gas
Ich sagte Mädel
Komm mit mir da hin
Bling, Bling, Bling und sing
Rum Kokos für's Karma

Relax and don't pay tax

Gib dir mehr Zeit
Gib dir mehr Zeit
Gib dir mehr Zeit für dich und

Gib dir mehr Zeit
Gib dir mehr Zeit
Gib dir mehr Zeit für dich und

Gib dir mehr Zeit
Gib dir mehr Zeit
Gib dir mehr Zeit für dich und

Gib dir mehr Zeit
Gib dir mehr Zeit
Gib dir mehr Zeit für dich und
Ooh, yeah, ooh
Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah

Klemens und Andi haben Stress
Ich sage nichts
Ich mache less
Mit Lamborghini und dem richtigen Qi
Quit living on dreams, mein kleines Genie
Ich sagte Mädel
Komm mit mir da hin
Wir sind reif, reif, reif für die Insel
Rum Kokos für’s Karma
Aus, vorbei das göttliche Drama

Yeah
Gib dir mehr Zeit
Gib dir mehr Zeit
Gib dir mehr Zeit für dich und

Gib dir mehr Zeit
Gib dir mehr Zeit

Overall Meaning

The song OM by Bilderbuch is set to a musical score that has a strong electronic beat, which is a hallmark of the band. The lyrics themselves are quite intriguing and offer an insight into the psyche of the artists. The first verse sets the scene with the clocks being set to strike, indicating a sense of urgency, and the lyrics 'Das Auge sieht soweit der Rubel reicht' which translates to 'The eye sees as far as the money goes' suggests a worldly perspective.

The second verse introduces the idea of stress, with Klemens and Andi being referred to as having stress. But the vocalist suggests that they are going to take a less stressful approach, with lines like 'Mit Lamborghini und dem richtigen Qi' which translates to 'With Lamborghini and the right Qi', giving a sense of luxury, and 'Quit living on dreams, mein kleines Genie' meaning 'Quit living on dreams, my little genius'. These lines suggest they are moving away from stressful situations and are focusing on enjoying life instead.

The chorus is repeated multiple times and is a plea for people to give themselves more time. It suggests that we should slow down and focus more on ourselves, with lines like 'Gib dir mehr Zeit für dich und' which translates to 'Give yourself more time for yourself' being repeated throughout. Overall, the song is encouraging listeners to take a step back and enjoy life without getting caught up in stress and materialistic desires.
