Immerhin beabsichtigt
ClickClickDecker Lyrics

In ClickClickDecker's song "Immerhin beabsichtigt", the lyrics seem to express a sense of disillusionment towards modern society and its values. The song begins by questioning if we had not originally intended to rebel against the societal norms we now follow. The lyrics "Wollten wir nicht eigentlich / Gegen das hier sein" ("Didn't we actually want to be against this?") suggest that the singer had a different vision for their life and the world around them, but somehow they ended up conforming to a system that they actually don't believe in.

The line "Der Punkt an dem es brach / War als man sich Ruhm versprach" ("The breaking point was when one promised oneself fame") could suggest that the singer is pointing out the moment where individuals became willing to sacrifice their values and morals in exchange for fame or success. The following lines "Auch der Mensch frisst von den Kindern / Um seine Hungersnot zu lindern" ("Even humans feed off their children / To alleviate their hunger") are a metaphor for the way in which individuals may consume the dreams and hopes of their younger selves in order to achieve success.

Throughout the song, the lyrics continue to contrast the singer's ideals with the reality of modern society. The lines "Und was soll all das Zeug / Vor dem man sich verbeugt / Das was man einst geliebt / In fremde Hände gibt" ("And what's the point in all the stuff / That you bow to / The things you once loved / That are now in the hands of others") seem to suggest that the singer feels a sense of loss for the things that they once valued, which have now been corrupted by capitalism and societal pressure.

Overall, the song encourages the listener to question the values and norms that are imposed on them and to think about what they really believe in. It highlights the way in which individuals may sacrifice their ideals in exchange for success, and the potential consequences of doing so.
