Silly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Auf der Bank.
Kein Job, kein Moos, die Weile ist lang.
Wer redet da von Life Style,
Na schönen Dank!
Am Fenster hat' ne blonde Braut
′N heißen Fummel auf der Plastikhaut.
O.k., dann wird er halt geklaut.
Kriminelle Energie -
Macht Kraft und Phantasie.
Kriminelle Energie -
Die ideale Therapie.
Kriminelle Energie -
Gegen Lethargie.
Kriminelle Energie -
Die schlappste Nudel wird zum Vieh.
Und hat's beim ersten mal geklappt,
Der erste Angstschweiß ist verdampft,
Dann wird nicht gleich wieder schlapp gemacht.
Noch mal ab dafür - ganz unverkrampft
Und stell' n sich Skrupel ein
Bleib cool und relaxed.
Wenn jeder jedem was klaut
Kommt garantiert keinem was weg!
Kriminelle Energie ...
So ist das Leben erträglich
In dieser Superkaufhauswelt.
Man braucht für seine Abenteuer
Noch nicht mal Geld.
Gut getarnt, der Detektiv,
Talkie in der Tasche - die Jacke schief.
Die Kamera hat alles im Blick,
Außer mich, mich kriegen die nicht.
Kriminelle Energie ...
In Silly's song "Kriminelle Energie," the lyrics explore the idea of resorting to a life of crime in response to unemployment, financial struggle or boredom, as a way of escaping the monotony of everyday life. The song suggests that there is a certain appeal in the thrill and excitement of engaging in criminal activities and that it can provide a sense of power and control that is otherwise missing in one's life. The lyrics also touch upon the idea that society's values and expectations of what is considered 'normal' can be oppressive and restrictive, and that engaging in illegal activities can be a means of breaking free from these constraints.
Throughout the song, Silly sings about different scenarios where people are pushed towards criminal behavior, such as seeing an expensive outfit in a store window that they cannot afford, or being constantly monitored and watched by security cameras while in a shopping mall. The chorus of the song repeatedly emphasizes the idea that "kriminelle Energie" (criminal energy) is a powerful force that can be harnessed to combat feelings of lethargy and inadequacy.
Overall, the song can be interpreted as a commentary on the challenges and pressures of contemporary society, and the lengths that some people might go to in order to assert their agency and control over their lives.
