Bar bezahlt
Marius Müller-Westernhagen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wenn ich morgens aufwach
Und mein Magen stöhnt mich an
Mann, gestern Abend
Zuviel Alkohol
Kipp ich dann mein' Kaffee
Im Kopf noch völlig blöd
Denk ich an Mona
Gott, wie war das schön

Ich hab für alles bar bezahlt
Jeder Schuss hat laut geknallt
Und ich will lieber verbrennen
Als so'n leiser Furz zu sein
Und deshalb bin ich
Ja, deshalb bin ich

Steh ich auf der Bühne
Und die Leute singen mit
Will ich vergessen
Jede Diskussion

Ich will dich berühren
Alter Hippiescheiß
Eiskaltes Business
Verpisst hat sich der Geist

Ich hab für alles bar bezahlt
Jeder Schuss hat laut geknallt
Und ich will lieber verbrennen
Als so'n leiser Furz zu sein




Und deshalb bin ich
Ja, deshalb bin ich

Overall Meaning

He remembers his time spent with a woman named Mona during the night, and thinks back to how wonderful it was. The chorus talks about how he paid for everything with cash, and every shot he took was loud. He would rather burn out than fade away, and that's why he is who he is. When he's on stage and the audience is singing along, he wants to forget about any disagreements and just wants to touch the people. He refers to this as "old hippie crap", and says that the music industry is just a cold business that lacks any real passion or spirit.
