Terrorgruppe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bin der MC Superdupie
Mit meiner Terrorgroupie
Schieß ich jeden Vogel ab
Mein Auftrag heißt Entspannung,
Totale Unterhaltung...
..ich steh auf euch
Ich lieb euch -
Ich träume von Millionen
Doch besser wär'n Billionen
..und tausend blonde Mädchen
Machen sich die Höschen naß
Doch plötzlich, ach du Schreck -
Das Glücksgefühl ist weg
Die Rettung das Gewehr -
Ich blas mir meine Birne weg
Hey Leute, ich war supie
War der M.C. Superdupie
Mit meiner Terrorgroupie
Schieß ich jeden Vogel ab
The song "Personenkult" by Terrorgruppe is a satirical take on the cult of personality that surrounds famous musicians and performers. The lyrics are written from the perspective of the lead singer, Supie, who is depicted as an egotistical and self-obsessed rock star. Supie sees himself as a powerful figure who can control his fans and their emotions. He refers to his backing band as his "Terrorgroupie," which is a play on the word "groupie" and gives the impression that they are a cult following him.
Supie's ultimate goal is to achieve fame and fortune, as expressed in the lines "Ich träume von Millionen / Doch besser wär'n Billionen" ("I dream of millions / But billions would be better"). He imagines himself surrounded by blonde women and adoring fans, who he believes will do anything for him. However, the facade of his success quickly crumbles when he realizes that he is not happy and that his "happiness" was only temporary. He then turns to suicide as a means of escape.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the destructive nature of fame and the superficiality of celebrity culture. The lyrics reveal the emptiness that often accompanies the pursuit of success and how the desire for adulation can lead to self-destruction.
