Auto
Spitfire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sie sind über all
auf jeder Straße
Schön, schnell
und aus Schtahl
in jeder Gasse
Ein Duft von Diesel
oder Benzin
erhöht den Spiegel
von Adrenalin

Sie sind der Traum
auf Rädern
gebraucht oder neu
will sie jeder
Die Hand auf das Lenkrad
den Fus auf's Gas
und fertig ist
der bleifreie Spaß

Der Deutsche Benz?
Last euch gratulieren
den must Man fahren
und Kaum reparieren
einen solchen Luxus
hat jeder gern
Drum leuchtet Benz
mit seinem silbernen Stern

Chorus:
In diesem kurzen Leben




Gibt es nur ein Ziel
Ein Auto, Auto, Automobil

Overall Meaning

The song "Auto" by Spitfire begins by describing the ubiquity of cars on the roads - they are everywhere, on every street, in every alleyway. The lyrics go on to extol the virtues of cars: they are beautiful, fast, made of steel, and emit the potent scent of diesel or gasoline, which raises adrenaline levels in those who inhale it. Cars are the ultimate dream on wheels, coveted by everyone regardless of whether they are new or used. Simply placing one's hand on the steering wheel and pressing down on the gas pedal is enough to ignite the exhilarating experience of driving, making it feel like one is effortlessly and leisurely cruising on an endlessly enchanting, lead-free journey.


The song's Chorus presents the central message of the song: in this brief life, there is only one goal, one aspiration - the ownership of a car, or "auto, auto, automobile". The lyrics also mention the German-made Mercedes-Benz, which is lauded as a luxury vehicle that everyone desires to possess. The song conjures up feelings of freedom, joy, and adventure that arise once you get behind the wheel of a car and hit the open road.
