Out Of The Dark
RAF Camora Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Into the light
I give up and close my eyes
Out of the dark (ah)
Wiener wie Falco
Kokaina im Sakko
Nachts mit hundert am TachoÜber den Opernring, aber passt schon
Polizei sagt mir: „Welcome back“
Brille bei Nacht so wie Elton John
R.R. war sehr lange weg
Aber R. zerfetzt, wenn er endlich kommt
Out of the dark, out of the dark
Oberster Stock, hab' Blick auf Mars (ah)
Haare Platin, färb' sie nie schwarz
Bruder, man sagt, dass es mir passt (ahh)
Out of the dark, out of the dark
Immer in Charts, hab' Mietvertrag
Wieder Platz eins in ihren, ahh
Ich bin out of the dark (hey, hey, ahh)
Die Sonne scheint, Team komplett in Weiß
Es geht (into the light)
Ferrari in Weiß, Atari Lights, hab' ganz Wien dabei
Wir kommen out of the dark (hey, hey, ahh)
Die Sonne scheint, Team komplett in Weiß
Es geht into the light
Ferrari in Weiß, aus 'ner andern Zeit, hab' ganz Wien dabei
Wir kommen out of the dark (ahh, ahh)
Zukunft war damals
Bin längst auf 'ner andern
Frequenz, Cybertruck, MannKein Benz, rauch' Ketama
Bewaffnet und sehr intelligent
Keiner fickt mit Vienna
Probier, wenn du willst
Hol mir Mila Kunis
Out of the dark, out of the dark
Bruder, bin dort, wo du nicht bist (ahh)
Erste Liebe bleibt nur die Streets
Mach' Dinner im Park mit Uber Eats (Ahh)
Out of the dark, out of the dark
Sie dachten, ich fall', mach' Suizid
Noch einen Hit in ihren, ahh
Ich bin out of the dark (hey, hey, ahh)
Die Sonne scheint, Team komplett in Weiß

Wir kommen out of the dark (ahh)
Ich heb' ab, drück' den RS Q8
Man muss nicht sterben, um zu leben, ahh
Und irgendwas schickt mir ein Signal
Es kommt
Out of the dark (hey, hey)
Out of the dark (hey, hey)
Into the light (Vienna, Vienna, Vienna)
I give up and you'll waste your tears to the night
In “Out Of The Dark,” RAF Camora explores the journey from obscurity to success, emphasizing the contrasts between darkness and light as metaphors for struggle and triumph. The opening lines evoke a sense of surrender, as the artist metaphorically closes his eyes to the darkness surrounding him, signaling an acceptance of his past and a desire to embrace a new, brighter future. This duality sets the tone for the rest of the song, inviting listeners to reflect on their personal experiences of hardship and the subsequent emergence into clarity and happiness.
Continuing through the lyrics, Camora references significant cultural and personal symbols that mark his journey. He invokes the iconic Austrian musician Falco and expresses familiarity with vices such as cocaine, further underscoring a lifestyle entwined with nightlife and excess. The imagery of driving fast, being welcomed back by police, and wearing sunglasses at night adds layers to his persona, portraying a life lived at the edge, marked by both hedonism and confrontation with authority. His claim of being ‘out of the dark’ suggests a reclamation of his identity and creativity—despite his past struggles, he asserts a place in the spotlight by emphasizing his recent successes in the music charts.
The chorus reflects a sense of celebration and community, as Camora emphasizes the presence of his team and his belonging to a vibrant cultural scene in Vienna. The imagery of the sun shining and the team dressed in white contrasts sharply with the earlier mention of darkness. This blending of elements indicates a shift toward optimism and achievement, suggesting that the artist has not only overcome personal demons but has also cultivated a supportive network. The references to luxury items like a white Ferrari and Atari Lights further paint a picture of his success while serving as symbols of a flashy lifestyle associated with wealth and fame.
Towards the end of the song, Camora acknowledges his past while simultaneously asserting his future, emphasizing intelligence and resilience in navigating the challenges he has faced. By signaling a connection to happiness and life outside of material indulgence (“One doesn’t need to die to live”), he deepens the thematic exploration of living authentically and prosperously. The repeated mantra of being ‘out of the dark’ reinforces his transformation and suggests that while the shadows of his past may linger, they no longer define him. Camora's journey resonates with anyone who has experienced hardship, ultimately celebrating the human capacity for resilience and the pursuit of a brighter future.

Es ist deep. Nur halt mit einem recht schnellen und aktiven Beat. Das ist aber auch gut. Wir können nicht immer jammern und trauern.
