Dummes Spiel
De-Phazz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Der niemals schlief, der niemals schlief
Keine Spur war mir zu heiss
Wir tanzten auf dem Eis
Waren beide schuldig irgendwie
Mal wieder ohne Alibi
Was erst nur Spiel war, wurde Sucht
Die Liebe ist ein dummes Spiel
C'est trop pour moi, too much, zu viel
Die Liebe ist ein Karussell
Im Kreis herum und viel zu schnell
Lässt mich die Liebe untergehn
H?h mein Herz in Neopren
Die Liebe ist ein Schundroman,
Ein Labyrinth, wo komm ich an
Wie soll das alles bloss zu ende gehn
Mir platzt der Kopf,
Die Zeit will nicht vergehn
Die Liebe ist ein dummes Spiel
C'est trop pour moi, too much, zu viel
Die Liebe ist ein Karussell
Im Kreis berum und viel zu schnell
Lässt mich die Liebe untergeben
H?ch mein Herz in Neopren
Die Liebe ist ein Schundroman,
Ein Labyrinth, wo komm ich an?
The song "Dummes Spiel" by De-Phazz talks about the concept of love being a foolish game where one can easily get lost in the never-ending cycle of passion and pain. At the beginning of the song, the singer sees themselves as a detective who never sleeps, always looking for clues and following every lead, no matter how hot it may be. They and their lover were both guilty of some wrongdoing, but they had no alibi to clear their names. What was once just a game has now turned into an addiction that the singer cannot escape from.
The chorus of the song describes love as a carousel that goes round and round too fast, making the singer feel as if they are drowning. Their heart is weighed down, and they are struggling to stay afloat. Love feels like a low-quality novel or a labyrinth with no escape route.

English translation (translated as a German):
First I was the detective
Who never slept, who never slept
No trail was too hot for me
We danced on the ice
Were both guilty somehow
Once again without an alibi
What was just a game became an addiction
Now I'm on the run
Love is a stupid game
C'est trop pour moi, too much, zu viel (German for "too much)
Love is a merry-go-round
Round and round and way too fast
When love makes me sink
I fill my heart in neoprene
Love is a trashy novel
A labyrinth, where do I arrive
How can all this end?
My head is bursting
Time does not want to pass
Love is a stupid game
C'est trop pour moi, too much, zu viel
Love is a merry-go-round
Round and round and way too fast
Love makes me succumb
I fill my heart in neoprene
Love is a trashy novel
A labyrinth, where do I arrive?

English Translation (with google translate, because I don't know or understand German) (couldn't find translation for berum maybe someone native or fluent in german can translate):
First I was the detective
He never slept, who never slept
No trace was too hot for me
We danced on the ice
Were both guilty somehow
Time again without alibi
What was only game was addiction
Now I'm on the run
Love is a stupid game
C'est trop pour moi, too much, too much
Love is a carousel
In the circle and much too fast
Let love fall down
H? H my heart in neoprene
Love is a trashy novel,
A labyrinth, where I come
How is all this going to end?
My head bursts,
Time will not pass
Love is a stupid game
C'est trop pour moi, too much, too much
Love is a carrousel
In the circle berum and much too fast
Let love subjugate me
Raise my heart in neoprene
Love is a trashy novel,
A labyrinth, where do I arrive?
