Karibische Gefühle
Geier Sturzflug Lyrics

The song "Karibische Gefühle" by Geier Sturzflug celebrates the end of winter and the start of summer, and the happy and carefree feelings that come with it. The lyrics describe the anticipation of warmer weather and the feeling of being transported to a tropical paradise. The first verse mentions the end of winter and the start of a warmer, more pleasant season. It talks about the winds bringing a sense of ease and carefreeness. The reference to "Chemie" could refer to chemically-induced feelings of being high and ecstatic, and the lyrics suggest that these feelings are natural during summertime. The second verse describes the surroundings of a tropical paradise like a beach with palm trees, sand and crashing waves, and the carefree and relaxed mood of the people in the paradise, who indulge in tropical drinks and music. The chorus repeats the phrase "karibische Gefühle" which directly translates to "Caribbean feelings", highlighting that these feelings are inspired by the Caribbean culture.

The song celebrates a vacation or a break from normal life, where one can let loose and enjoy the moment. The lyrics romanticize the idea of escaping to a warm, tropical paradise where there are no worries and cares. It is also a commentary on the tourism industry, with a particular reference to how the concept of a tropical paradise has been commercialized and commodified. The reference to the tourists bringing in "harte Dollars" (hard dollars) and the renaming of Teneriffa as "zu bieder" (too boring) suggest that the song is a commentary on mass tourism in popular coastal destinations.
