Skaladdin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've got three wishes baby now choose them whysely
I'll do all for you that's why people like me
you've rubbed my lamp, now I'm here for you
now tell me the three things I'll have to do

I make you rich, I make you strong
I make you winning all day long
I may give you the best company
you may hold a tune sing in harmony

I make you happy as a drunk, I make you smell like a skunk
you'll get the power and agression of a furious punk
you have a first wish that's good to hear
the only thing you can think of is to have a beer?

You've got two more whishes now think a bit
the last one was tasty but not a hit
I don't give a shit, wish something you desire
what you wanna get is what you'll get I'm not a liar

I make you smart, I make you high
I make you able to lie
I make you able to change the world
I give you big fat muscles to impress the girls

I make you famous as a star, I make you entering every bar
you may own a country, own hous or big fat cars
you've made your second choise, and you tell me with a grin
that you want Young Boys the soccerclub to allways win

You've got one more wish now take the chance
to change your life, so get yourself a romance
get tollerance for a special life style
or be the owner of the worlds gratest skylines

I make you cute, I make you slim
I may give you a formula-one racers chin
I make you to know every book by heart
you may have a perfect body and you'd be very smart

I make you smoking every plant, satisfied with no right hand
you may go visit the moon own your favorit land
you'd be happy all night and in the morning not sore
no matter how many they have you will have one more
you'll have a cottage on a river, you may order I deliver
you may walk painless on nails on fire or on sliver




times up now you choose and don't choose anything wrong
what you want me to sing for you another song?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Skaladdin's song "Wishes" reveal the power dynamic present between the genie and the person who has summoned them. The genie offers three wishes to the person in exchange for being released from their lamp, but cautions them to choose their wishes wisely. The genie promises to give the person anything they desire but also hints at the potential negative consequences of their choices. The first wish mentioned is a desire for alcohol, which the genie dismisses as not ambitious enough. The second wish is to have a soccer team always win, which shows a desire for power and control.


The rest of the lyrics offer a range of possible wishes, including wealth, intelligence, strength, and fame. The genie frames each potential wish as a trade-off, pointing out the positive and negative consequences of each choice. For instance, the person could be made smart but also given the ability to lie, or they could have a perfect body but also be addicted to drugs. The final lines of the song suggest that the person has run out of time to make their final wish, and also imply that the genie is eager to move on to other tasks.


Overall, "Wishes" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of seeking out instant gratification without considering the long-term consequences of one's actions. The song highlights the way that power can corrupt, tempting the person with the genie's offer to take shortcuts to success and fulfillment, but ultimately leading to a hollow and unfulfilling existence.
