The name is an abbreviation that is spelled as "super-intelligentes Drogenopfer" = "super intelligent drug victim". However this is the new interpretation while originally the name did spell as "Scheisse in Dein Ohr" = "shit (goes) into your ears".
In 2004, Sido's debut album, "Maske" ("Mask"), sold more than 100,000 copies in less than a month. In September of that year, the rapper won a prestigious German music award for "Best Newcomer". The best known song from that album, "Mein Block", describes life in the Maerkisches Viertel, a ghetto-like district of Berlin.
Sido has been spurting a lot of controversies. Most of his personal information is kept under blankets, not even the personal name or birthday is being confirmed by official records. Rumours say that the stage person is fully fictitious including its alleged background in a criminal ghetto. While some of his provocative aggressive songs have been banned many fans like to interpret the lyrics as a satirical on widespread prejudices about the life in so-called "problem districts".
Sarah
Sido Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Aber ich weiß du magst kein HipHop,
Deswegen sing ich für dich
Sarah, warum bist du so gemein zu mir?
Warum können wir keine Freunde sein?
Du liebst mich doch, los, zeig es mir.
Oooh Sarah, ich guck' die Playboy Fotos täglich an,
Ich find' die Hängetitten eklig, man.
Sarah, mach deine Witze, doch man soll's nicht übertreiben.
Das was ich jetzt sag, hast du dir selbst zuzuschreiben
Du bist eine Hure.
Du Nutte bist 'ne Hure.
Hör zu, Sarah, der ist nur für dich.
Du bist eine Hure!
(Du bist eine Hure)
Du hast mich echt sauer gemacht.
Dabei bist du's doch gar nicht wert.
Du Nutte bist 'ne Hure.
Du Nutte bist 'ne Hure.
Ich bin ein Prolet, ja?
Hier hast du 'nen Proleten, du Stück Scheiße!
Du bist eine Hure!
Du bist eine Hure.
Ach was reg ich mich überhaupt auf?
Scheiß' drauf! Ja scheiß drauf.
Du Nutte bist 'ne Hure
Ha drauf geschissen
Nein doch nicht
Jungs, sing weiter
Du bist eine Hure.
Du Nutte bist 'ne Hure.
The lyrics of Sido's song Sarah are confrontational and controversial, as they revolve around the singer's apparent obsession with the titular character who is portrayed as promiscuous and mean towards him. The first lines of the song reveal that the singer has something important to say to Sarah, but he is aware that she does not like hip-hop, so he decides to sing for her. The chorus is catchy and quite explicit in its insults towards Sarah, accusing her of being a "Hure" or whore, and asking why she is so mean to him when she supposedly loves him. The singer also admits to looking at Playboy photos of Sarah and finding her unattractive, particularly because of her "Hängetitten" or saggy breasts.
Even without knowing the context behind the song, the lyrics are problematic and offensive, particularly in their use of sexist language and derogatory terms to describe a woman. It's worth noting, however, that Sido has defended the song as a work of satire, meant to poke fun at the perceived shallowness and hypocrisy of the German media, which often sensationalizes the lives of celebrities, particularly women. Nevertheless, the implications of the song and its lyrics have been heavily debated in Germany, with some arguing that it perpetuates harmful stereotypes and attitudes towards women and others arguing that it is a clever critique of popular culture.
