Lärm
Extrabreit Lyrics

The lyrics of "Lärm" by Extrabreit appear to be an exploration of addiction and perhaps a critique of modern society's obsession with various forms of escape. The first stanza mentions various addictive substances and activities, but then focuses on the singular addiction of the singer: "Gib mir den Lärm" (Give me the noise). The following stanzas note other addictions, but again emphasize that the singer is only interested in the "Lärm" and the "Licht" (light), which seem to represent the stimulation and excitement of the nightlife.

The chorus repeats the plea for "Lärm" and "Licht," with the additional lines "Lass mich nochmal den Geist beschwörn" (Let me summon my spirit once again) and "Ich will wieder auf den Törn" (I want to go on a bender again), suggesting a desire for a wild and intense experience. This desire is further emphasized in the line "Es ist zu spät, um aufzuhörn" (It's too late to stop), perhaps indicating a recognition of the danger of addiction, but a reluctance to give up the rush of the nightlife.

Overall, "Lärm" seems to be a commentary on the allure of excess and the difficulty of breaking free from addiction. The repeated refrain for "Lärm" and "Licht" highlights the power of stimulation and excitement, but the darker implications of such an addiction are also suggested. The lyrics leave the listener with a sense of ambivalence - both drawn to and wary of the wild life portrayed.
