Tricks
Falco Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Es hat uns sehr gefreut
Aber ich bitte Sie
Alright
Say what?
Alright

Man fragt sich, was ist dran an ihm?
Was könnte es wohl sein?
Ist der Wein aus Österreich, den er uns einschenkt, immer rein?
Bavarian Hungarian happy hippie vegetarian
Was ist das Wiener Blut
Was tut daran uns gut?
If I feel for driving crazy in the middle of the night
I smash the party, denn ich zahle bar
Dass mein Bentley und mein Penthouse jemand stören
Ist mir nicht klar
Wollt ihr 'nen Liedermacher oder einen Star?

(Oh oh oh yeah)
Man tut, dass es gefällt
Wofür man es auch hält
Ich weiß genau worauf ihr scharf seid, sind noch immer meine
Tricks! (wo oh oh oh)
Gimme Tricks! (Wo oh oh oh)
Ihr wisst ich bin alleine ohne meine
Tricks! Tricks, yeah, alright
That's the only reason my heart still ticks (Tricks!)

Vishnu, Batu, Fu-Manchu, too
Hu-hu, Jonny Manushutu
Dr. Wu, Peggy Sue
Randy Andy, too
One thing in common when they get up to their tricks
They do it for kicks
So if you ever see me acting
Like a kid from outer-space
And you think of lending a hand
But if you look real close
You'll see the smile on my face
Then I'm sure you'll understand

(Oh oh oh yeah)
Man tut, dass es gefällt
Because I know, I know, you're just a victim, victim, victim of my
(Tricks!)
Hey, gimme
(Tricks!)
Gimme
(Tricks!)
Ihr wisst ich bin alleine ohne meine
Tricks! Yeah
That's the only reason my heart still ticks (Tricks!)

Livin' without a trick, any other trick
(Tricks!)
Don't know what I would do without my
(Tricks!)

(Tricks!)
Ihr wisst ich bin alleine ohne meine
(Tricks!)
That's the only reason my heart still ticks (Tricks!)

Don't know what I would do without my
(Tricks!)
Gimme (Tricks!)

Don't know what I would do without my
(Tricks!)
Gimme (Tricks!)

Ihr wisst ich bin alleine ohne meine




(Tricks!)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Falco's song Tricks seem to be centered around the idea that performers, especially musicians like him, need to continually come up with new tricks to keep their audience engaged and satisfied. The first verse begins with Falco acknowledging his appreciation for his audience ("Es hat uns sehr gefreut"), but then he requests their attention and asks them what they want. The following lines suggest that the audience is curious about what makes him unique as an Austrian musician and what he has to offer, perhaps wondering if it has something to do with the pure wine he serves. The chorus then emphasizes that his audience loves his tricks, which is why he continues to implement them in his performances. Falco also mentions that even other notable celebrities, such as Vishnu and Dr. Wu, thrive on their own tricks and surprises.


Falco seems to be asserting that his act is all about surprises and keeping the audience entertained. Even though his audience loves his tricks, they also make him who he is, as indicated in the lines "That's the only reason my heart still ticks." He is willing to do anything to maintain his status as a star, even if that means smashing a party or buying luxurious cars and penthouses. However, he is also aware that his performance is not just about him, but also about the audience. He sees them as victims to his tricks, but also ultimately as people who enjoy a good show.


Overall, Tricks is a song about the power of performance and entertainment, and how performers need to continually come up with new tricks to keep their audience engaged and satisfied. Falco suggests that this process is what makes him a success, but also acknowledges that entertainment is a two-way street, with both performer and audience participating in the experience.

The best of the best!!! Love his looks, his uniqueness. He was an artist in all sense of the word. There never be another one like him. Like the words of one of his songs, his spirit will never die.

Robin Kämpe

The song is ofcourse great and I have to say that I love this video!! Nice work! Falco Forever

Damhod

oh mein gott , das ist so verdammt geil !! auch wenns gerade 2:45 in einer montag nacht ist dreh ich die anlage auf , es ist mir völlig egal was meine nachbarn sagen oder denken mögen - es ist schließlich FALCO !! und irgendjemand muss ja den Lady Gaga geschädigten leuten beibringen was wertvolle und gute musik ist.

Kay Ketelaar

@David Böhm Ja da hast du recht. Da sind heute vielen die keine artist sind aber Gaga ist ja richtig gut:) Aber der Falke steht alein in seinem unik talent und timing;)

Rito Danger

falco ist ohne gleichen, gaga auch. eine der größten künstlerinnen unserer zeit als negativbeispiel nennen & den bushido feiern... geht sich ned aus burschi

Mila Royal

Falco ist ein Musik Gott und ich bin zu 100% derselben Meinung.

Ich möchte dir aber heftig widersprechen, denn Lady Gaga hat niemanden geschädigt... Traurig so was zu lesen - ich denke unser Falco hätte diese Frau gemocht! Sie ist ein wahnsinniges musikalisches Talent und war die einzige in der modernen Popmusik die sich etwas Originalität erlaubt hat. Bisschen Hintergrundwissen bevor man jemanden runtermacht wär gut ;)

Gunny Akdo

das sind wohl deine "tricks" )

David Böhm

hey ich gebe dir fast recht,bin auch ein rießen Falco-fan,but die gaga um ehrlich zu sein,sie kann singen und mehrere Instrumente spielen,und sie schreibt ihre songs selbst,also so wie da Hansi.! Und ob man fan ist oder nicht,das respektiere ich immer bei ernstzunehmenden Musikern.! peace,Falco-forever.!

Hab früher immer "Titts" verstanden und mich gewundert, weshalb er über Titten singt ...😄😆
Wie konnte das passieren🤔, wo er doch sonst so schön das R rollt.
