Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kapelle Petra's song "Gekämmt" convey the message of how appearances are often given too much importance in our society. The songwriter expresses their opinion that they find the person in question generally okay but their only fault is being overly invested in their appearance, particularly their hair. The word "gekämmt" means "combed" in German but in this context, it implies a sense of perfectionism and vanity.


This song seems to be the voice of those who believe that people should not be judged solely on their appearance. The song reminds us to look beyond someone's appearance and see them for who they truly are. Moreover, it also highlights how societal expectations around beauty and presentation can become inhibiting and lead people to judge themselves and others too harshly.

Is your neat appearance.
