Scala Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ich nehme sie heut' gerne mit zu mir nach Haus
Sie wirkt so kuehl, and sie kommt niemand 'ran
Doch vor der Kamera da zeigt sie was sie kann
Sie trinkt im Nachtklub immer Sekt (korrekt)
Und hat hier alle Maenner abgecheckt
Im Scheinwerferlicht ihr junges Laecheln strahlt
Sie stellt sich zu Schau fuer das Konsumprodukt
Und wird von millionen Augen angeguckt
Ihr neues Titelbild ist einfach Fabelhaft
Ich muss sie wiedersehen, ich weiss sie hat's geschaft
The song "Das Modell" by Scala is a German song that talks about a model who is admired for her beauty and her ability to captivate the camera when it's switched on. The singer expresses a fascination for the model and is willing to take her home with him. He describes how cool and aloof she appears to be, but when the camera turns on, she shows off what she can do. She is a master in front of the lens, and it's evident in the way she carries herself and the way she poses.
The model is portrayed as a commodity, and the song talks about how she is put on display for commercial reasons. The singer describes how she is always checking out the men at the nightclub and how she is always surrounded by different people. The singer describes how she is viewed by millions of people and how her new title is simply fabulous.
The song is a commentary on how individuals in the fashion industry are often viewed as objects whose beauty and talent are monetized. It's a reminder that behind every pretty face, there is a person whose life is more than just what is visible on the surface.
