Berlín
Kittchen Lyrics

The lyrics to "Berlin" by Kittchen describe a bleak and cold atmosphere in the city of Berlin. The opening lines of the song introduce us to a misty and frigid Berlin, where nobody walks through the wide streets. The singer then mentions a young German woman who has dark circles under her eyes and desires to drink, do drugs, and ultimately liberate herself. The singer expresses that it does not matter that the woman's name is not Ulrike or that she is most likely not yet twenty years old. The singer then describes a situation where he is with the woman, caressing a tattoo on her arm while outside, some form of protest is underway. The song ends with the singer and the woman getting drunk in her bed while outside, the sky remains gray and cold.

The lyrics of "Berlin" can be interpreted as a commentary on the state of the city after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Berlin, once a symbol of division and oppression, was suddenly unified but still faced deep-seated issues, such as drug addiction and social inequality. The singer seems to be captivated by the alluring but destructive lifestyle of the young German woman, who could represent the societal issues that grip the city. Meanwhile, the protest outside the window could represent the tension and unrest that still existed in Berlin despite its newfound unity.
