Normal
Kraan Lyrics

In the song "Normal" by Kraan, the lyrics present a series of statements that the singer believes define them as a normal person. The first stanza states that the singer speaks clearly and knows what they're talking about, and that they're doing well and comfortable with their surroundings. However, what follows is a contradiction in the chorus: "lieber extrem normal als normal extrem" ("better extremely normal than extremely normal") and "lieber paranormal als normal extrem" ("better paranormal than extremely normal"). These phrases express the idea that being too normal, conforming too much to societal norms and expectations, is undesirable, and that it's better to be true to oneself, even if that means being somewhat abnormal.

The second stanza reinforces the idea that the singer is a normal person by asserting their knowledge of the person they're addressing, their ability to think quickly, and their generosity. Like the first stanza, however, the chorus contains a contradiction. The phrase "normal extrem" is repeated, with the implication being that being too normal is the opposite of being truly normal. The final line, "Mein Herz ist rein - ich liebe dich" ("My heart is pure - I love you"), seems to suggest that the singer cares deeply for the person they're addressing, and that this care is what makes them truly "normal."

Overall, the song "Normal" presents a complex and somewhat paradoxical idea of what it means to be normal. On the one hand, the singer asserts that they are a normal person who is comfortable with their life and happy with their surroundings. On the other hand, the repeated phrase "normal extrem" and the lyrics of the chorus suggest that being too normal is undesirable and that true normalcy requires some degree of abnormality. This creates a tension between conformity and individuality that makes the song both intriguing and thought-provoking.
