Silly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ein betörender Duft holt uns aus der Gruft
Aus allen Hölen kriechen die Tölen
Mit dem Maul voller Schaum - nichts wie ran an den Baum
High-high wir sind so frei
Wir machen Lamour ab jetzt rund um die Uhr
Enorme Dekolletees und Heldenbrust-Toupees
Alle am Start und jeder paart sich auf seine Art
Brennen lüstern die Pupillen hinter sündhaft teuren Brillen
Downtown gibtÄs die heißesten Frau'n
Und die fettesten Ratten mit den grellsten Krawatten
Es geht uns gut, saugut
Auf Kälte und Frust haben wir keine Lust mehr
Was soll die blöde Frage, man sieht doch
Die Lage der Nation ist nun mal horizontal, wirklich genial
Downtown...
The lyrics to Silly's song "Downtown" describe a feeling of liberation and hedonism after a period of darkness and confinement. The opening lines, "It's over, we're back at it again," suggest a sense of relief and renewal. The reference to a "bewitching scent" drawing them out of the grave conjures a picture of a world come back to life after a long period of death or decay. The lines "From all the holes creep the fools / With mouths full of foam - nothing but to run to the tree" suggest a kind of animalistic, primal energy, with people emerging from hiding places, ready to let loose and indulge in their desires.
The chorus, "Downtown, downtown / Lustful eyes burn behind sinfully expensive glasses / Downtown, you can find the hottest women / And the fattest rats with the brightest ties," reinforces the idea of indulgence and excess. The use of the word "lustful" and the image of "sinfully expensive glasses" suggests a kind of decadence and debauchery. The reference to "the hottest women" and "the fattest rats" with "the brightest ties" suggests a mixing of social classes and types, all coming together to indulge in their desires. The final lines, "What's the stupid question, you can see / The state of the nation is, after all, horizontal, truly genius," perhaps suggest a critique of the societal values that have led to this kind of behavior, but also an acceptance of it as a kind of necessary escape.
