Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Da war'ne Nische,
eine Lücke im System,
alles was wir brauchten,
wir machten´s uns bequem,
wir konnten uns hier endlos amüsiern
und das eigene Elend glorifiziern!!

Doch es sollte nicht für immer sein,

die Aussenwelt dringt langsam zu uns ein,
manche nennen das die Realität
alles falsch, verwirrt, und völlig verdreht

IM PUNKLAND PHANTASIA
POGOTOPIA
MACHT ES EUCH BEQUEM MIT UNS
IN POGOTOPIA

IM PUNKLAND PHANTASIA
POGOTOPIA
FREIZEITGHETTO, MÖRDERSPASS
IN POGOTOPIA

Wir wollen uns lieber im Punkland verlieren
als real dahin zu vegetieren
Heute ein Arschloch , morgen ein Star
ich hab mein Träume und ich mache sie wahr!!!

Halt, Stop!!! Es ist noch nicht zu spät,
und ich hoffe du hast Bock...
raus aus der Realität
rein in den Rock!

IM PUNKLAND PHANTASIA
POGOTOPIA
FREIZETGHETTO, MÖRDERSPASS
IN POGOTOPIA -IA

IM PUNKLAND PHANTASIA
POGOTOPIA

MACHT ES EUCH BEQUEM MIT UNS
IN POGOTOPIA -IA

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Terrorgruppe's song Pogotopia speak of a utopian punk world where everything is perfect, and there is no actual reality. The singer of the song talks about finding a niche, a gap in the system, and making themselves comfortable in that space. They speak of being able to amuse themselves endlessly while glorifying their own misery. However, this perfect world is not going to last forever as the outside world is slowly closing into their space, and things are beginning to change. They describe the outside world as false, confusing, and completely twisted.

The singer and their companions are not willing to face reality and would instead get lost in this utopian punk world because it is better than dealing with the real world. The punk world offers limitless possibilities. They would instead become a star tomorrow than deal with reality today. But the singer abruptly interrupts with a plea to halt and stop, offering a different scenario, away from reality and a chance to explore the world of rock.

Da war'ne Nische,
There was a gap,

eine Lücke im System,
A loophole in the system,

alles was wir brauchten,
All that we needed,

wir machten´s uns bequem,
We made ourselves comfortable,

wir konnten uns hier endlos amüsiern
We could endlessly entertain ourselves here

und das eigene Elend glorifiziern!!
And glorify our own misery!!

Doch es sollte nicht für immer sein,
But it would not be forever,

die Aussenwelt dringt langsam zu uns ein,
The outside world slowly seeps in to our world,

manche nennen das die Realität
Some call that reality

alles falsch, verwirrt, und völlig verdreht
Everything false, confused, and completely twisted
