Letzte Instanz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Denn was du nicht weißt, ist, ich bin ein Idiot
Ich singe dir ein Liebeslied, dass es dir die Schuh auszieht
Jedes Liedchen ist famos, deine Stimmung riesengroß
Ich tanze, bis der Boden glüht; hoffe, dass es keiner sieht
Was für ein Arsch ich bin
Resis sanctinus est sanctus famosus
Resis sanctinus est sanctus famosus
Resis sanctinus est sanctus famosus
Du bist für mich doch nur eine von vielen
Was du wirklich nicht weißt, ist, ich bin ein Idiot
Ich schreib die Lügen auf Papier, bekomm von dir dein Herz dafür
Das gehört mir immer mehr trotz intensiver Gegenwehr
Du bist akut schon in Gefahr, trotzdem wird dir niemals klar
Was für ein Arsch ich bin
Resis sanctinus est sanctus famosus
Resis sanctinus est sanctus famosus
Resis sanctinus est sanctus famosus
Resis sanctinus est sanctus famosus
Ich geb dir niemals die Chance mich zu kriegen
Denn was du nicht weißt, ist, ich bin ein Idiot
Resis sanctinus est sanctus famosus
Resis sanctinus est sanctus famosus
Resis sanctinus est sanctus famosus
Resis sanctinus est sanctus famosus
The song "Egotrip" by Letzte Instanz explores the theme of self-sabotage in relationships. The singer refuses to give their partner a chance to love them because they believe they are an "idiot" who doesn't deserve love. Despite this, the singer sings love songs that make their partner feel amazing and dances until the floor is hot. However, the singer's ego gets in the way and they believe that their partner is just one of many, never realizing the danger they are in. The repeated phrase "resis sanctinus est sanctus famosus" roughly translates to "the fabled holy resistance is holy famous," which could be interpreted as a commentary on the singer's resistance to accepting love and their reputation for sabotaging relationships.
The lyrics of "Egotrip" showcase the idea of self-sabotage in relationships and the impact it can have on both the individual and their partner. The singer's refusal to give their partner a chance reflects their own insecurities and lack of self-worth, leading them to believe they are not worthy of love. However, they continue to pursue their partner with love songs and dance, highlighting the conflicting nature of their ego and self-sabotaging tendencies. The repetition of "resis sanctinus est sanctus famosus" further emphasizes this theme and emphasizes the singer's reputation for sabotaging relationships.
