Das nervt
Die Prinzen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Das nervt - der Arsch zu schwer
Das nervt - so viele Fernsehshows
Das nervt - arbeitslos
Das nervt - nix im Portemonnaie
Das nervt - keine Idee
Das nervt - ich flieg überall raus
Das nervt - ich steig aus
Und ich leg mich in die Sonne
Knall den Tag in die Tonne
Ich stell ne Flasche vor mich hin
Und stell mir vor, es wär' was drin
Ja, ich leg mich in die Sonne
Und knall den Tag in die Tonne
Der ganze Stress wird mir zu heftig
Ihr könnt mich alle mal (ganz kräftig)
Das nervt - Deutschland ist zu kalt
Das nervt - keine Nadeln mehr im Wald
Das nervt - es stinkt überall
Das nervt - in Köln ist Karneval
Das nervt - dass ich nicht lachen kann
Das nervt - Keiner lacht mich an
Das nervt - alle tun so als ob
Das nervt - ich sag stop
Ich leg mich in die Sonne...
Der Learjet steht mit vollen Tank
Das Geld liegt sicher auf der Bank
Und weil ihr so mächtig seid
Steh'n schöne Frauen stehts bereit
Die ganze Welt liegt euch zu Füßen
Wenn ihr sie seht - ich lass sie grüßen
Ich seid süchtig nach Applaus
Und bald liegt ihr im Krankenhaus
Und ich leg mich in die Sonne...
The song "Das nervt" by Die Prinzen is about the various things in life that irritate and annoy the songwriter. The first verse describes the frustration of having a blank mind and a heavy burden, as well as being unemployed, broke, and lacking inspiration. The chorus talks about the escapism that the songwriter finds by imagining a carefree day in the sun, complete with a bottle of booze.
The second verse deals with more specific things that annoy the songwriter, such as the weather in Germany, the lack of pine needles in the forest, and the overwhelming smell in the air. The mention of the carnival in Cologne highlights the frustration of not being able to enjoy oneself as others seem to do naturally. The last few lines of the verse suggest a rebellion against societal expectations, with the singer declaring "stop".
The final verse seems to be directed towards those who are obsessed with fame and fortune, and who sacrifice their health and well-being in its pursuit. The songwriter offers a contrasting, laid-back lifestyle that prioritizes relaxation and enjoyment over success and status.
Overall, "Das nervt" is a comedic take on the many things that can drive a person crazy, and the songwriter's rejection of societal pressure to conform to certain expectations.
