Nasty Lyrics

The lyrics of Nasty's song "Zweifel" express a sense of disillusionment with one's own complacency and lack of critical thinking. The first line, "Der horizont benebelt der kopf ist voll" (The horizon is foggy, the head is full), sets the stage for a speaker who is trapped in their own comfortable existence, unable or unwilling to confront the harsh realities of the world around them. They acknowledge that nothing seems to be missing from their life, but this comes at a high cost that they are happy to ignore. The chorus asks rhetorically, "Wozu zufiel zweifeln man kommt gut aus/wozu zufiel zweifeln ist doch alles gut" (Why doubt too much? Everything is fine), implying that questioning the status quo is unnecessary and even risky.

However, the verses that follow reveal that the singer is aware of the injustices and suffering that are inherent in their privileged position. They critique the "Standard" (presumably the dominant culture or system) that allows them to be comfortable at the expense of others. The line "Dieser unser Standard fordert hohe kosten geht es um ausbeutung stehen wir auf hohem posten" (This our standard imposes high costs when it comes to exploitation, we stand on high positions) implicates the listener in this dynamic, suggesting that they are complicit in the harm being done to others. The final line, "Ist feuer die hölle stoßen wir sie in die glut" (If Hell is fire, we'll throw it into the flames), is a call to action to reject this unjust system and work towards a more equitable world.

Overall, "Zweifel" is a powerful critique of complacency and a call to action to confront the uncomfortable truths of our world. It challenges listeners to overcome their fears of doubt and uncertainty in order to work towards a better future.
