Party Mit Mir Selbst
Rosenstolz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Schreckliche Geräusche
geh'n mir auf den Geist
das dämliche Getue
bin ich längst schon leid
ich zieh' mein schönstes Kleid an
die Schuhe die sind pink
ich lasse keinen Neid ran
weil ich nur selber trink

Ich brauche jetzt keinen Wodka
brauch' auch keinen Rum
ich will dich jetzt nicht sehen
Du bist mir viel zu dumm

Ich geb' 'ne Party - Party - Party für mich selbst
Ich geb' 'ne Party - Party - Party mit mir selbst
Wie schön dass ich gekommen bin

Schreckliche Gespräche
geh'n mir auf den Geist
das Tönen einer Stimme
bin ich längst schon leid
Ich zieh' mein schönstes Kleid aus
die Schuhe lass ich an
ich liebe meine Hände
ich brauch' heut' keinen Mann

Ich will jetzt keinen Wodka
vielleicht ein bisschen Sekt

Iich will nur ganz allein sein
weil Sekt am besten schmeckt

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rosenstolz's song "Party Mit Mir Selbst" is about the joy of being alone, enjoying one's own company, and not needing anyone else's validation to have a good time. The first stanza talks about how annoying and tiring it is to constantly deal with other people's behavior and noises. The singer then decides to dress up in her finest pink attire, to indulge in her own company, and not let any jealousy spoil her mood. She declares that she doesn't need any alcoholic beverages or even the company of stupid people. Instead, she throws a party for herself, with herself.

The second stanza continues the theme of liberation in self-love. The singer speaks of how conversations with irritating voices drive her crazy and so she decides to take off her clothes and stay in her pink shoes, free from the need for any man's attention. She prefers to stay alone and indulge in her favorite drink, champagne or 'Sekt', enjoying the taste in her own company. The chorus repeats the message of the song, that she's throwing a party just for herself, with herself, and she's glad she came.
