Santiago
Haubi Songs Lyrics

The lyrics of Haubi Songs' song "Santiago" can be interpreted as a contemplation on the complexity and challenges of modern life. The song begins with the line "Es esch ned so eifach" (It's not so easy), suggesting that life is more complicated than it may seem. The following lines address the trend of being a "Guetmönsch" (good person) and the desire to go for a walk on the beach in Rio and buy a "fucking Bioworscht" (organic sausage) at the end of the day. These lyrics can be seen as a satirical statement on the superficiality of contemporary consumer culture and the tendency to seek validation through outward displays of morality.

The song then shifts to a discussion of the search for meaning and identity, referencing the city of Santiago de Compostela and the practice of taking a selfie there as proof of experience. The repetition of the phrase "Längt eifach ned" (Simply not enough) throughout the song emphasizes the frustration and unease that can come from these superficial attempts at fulfillment. The final lines, "Sebe Milliarde Lüüt ond ech / Be doch au nor e Mönsch" (Seven billion people and me / Just a human), offer a reminder of the common human experience that transcends cultural and individual differences.
