Bitte nicht nachmachen
ClickClickDecker Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Schon wieder musst du rauf
auch wenn's dir nicht mehr gefällt
stehst nirgends in der Schuld
also spiel hier nicht den Held
Sie saugen dich aus
du lässt dich gern dazu verleiten
rennst ziellos herum
auf dem Meer der Eitelkeiten

Vielleicht hol ich dich ab
heute ist Sperrmüll
der traurigen D-Prominenz

Und die ganze Welt schaut zu

Am Boden zerstört
niemand wird morgen von heut Abend erzählen
zumindest nicht gern
der Sturz vom Fließband ins Mitleid
mach dir nichts draus
daraus kannst du nur lern.
Die Lichter sind erloschen
gestern Millionen jetzt vielleicht nur noch Zwei
du weist sie werden dich hassen
lebst ihren Traum zum greifen nah
- wie kommt du damit klar?

Kein Hahn wird nach dir krähen
und ich wünsche dir, du wirst es überstehen

Was hältst du von Suizid,
ich hab gehört das soll helfen

Overall Meaning

The song "Bitte nicht nachmachen" by ClickClickDecker explores the struggles and consequences of fame, particularly in the entertainment industry. The opening lines reflect a sense of obligation and repetition - the singer must go on stage again, even though they no longer enjoy it. However, they emphasize that they owe nothing to anyone, and that there's no need to act like a hero. The following lines express how the industry can exploit and drain artists, who ultimately end up wandering aimlessly in a sea of vanity. The offer to rescue the singer implies that they have hit rock bottom, and that the "D-list celebrity" trash day is reserved for them.

The chorus "And the whole world is watching" highlights the intense scrutiny and pressure that celebrities face, as their every move is scrutinized and judged by millions. The second verse reflects on the aftermath of a downfall, where the person is left feeling destroyed and alone. There's a sense of detachment from reality, as the lights have gone out, and the singer has gone from being adored by millions to being hated by them. The line "you live their dream within your reach" suggests that the industry presents a kind of dream that's unattainable to most, and the singer is the exception. The final line about suicide is a reference to the idea that some artists turn to suicide as a solution to their struggles.
