Traumpaar
Silly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Das Traumpaar des Jahrhunderts
Die Schlampe und der Held
tanzen mit groer Geste
auf dem Parkett der Welt

Die feuerroten Haare
hat man ihr schwarz gemacht
ich hab den blassen Schimmer
die wachsen wieder nach

Sie schwebt verwirrt in Dften
in Lichtern bunt und grell
und er versuft in aller Ruh
die Mitgift und ihr Fell

Und wenn es ihr zu eng wird
im sndhaft teuren Kleid
sagt er: Sei still und schm dich
fr deine Vergangenheit

Die Suppe ist dnn
und das Bett nicht sehr breit




der Hunger kommt beim Essen
und die Liebe mit der Zeit

Overall Meaning

The song "Traumpaar" by Silly is a commentary on the inequality and superficiality of relationships in the modern world. The lyrics describe a couple who are seen as the "dream pair of the century," but in reality, they are far from perfect. The woman is referred to as a "slut," while the man is called a "hero," suggesting that their relationship is based on shallow stereotypes rather than true love and understanding. In addition, the woman's hair has been dyed black, indicating that she has conformed to societal norms and abandoned her true, unique self.


Despite their fame and wealth, the couple is unhappy and unfulfilled. The woman is lost in a world of bright lights and scents, while the man drowns his sorrows in alcohol and material possessions. The man also shames the woman for her past, suggesting that he views her as an object rather than a person with a complex history and personality.


The final lines of the song offer a bleak view of love and relationships: "The soup is thin / And the bed not very wide / Hunger comes with eating / And love with time." This suggests that love is not a magical, instantaneous feeling, but rather a slow and complex process that requires effort and commitment. Overall, "Traumpaar" is a powerful critique of the artificiality and shallowness of modern relationships.
