Weltuntergang
Terrorgruppe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Da kam ein Affe aus dem Meer
Dem fieln so langsam die Haare aus und langsam wurd ein Mensch daraus
Die Saurier wurden krank und aus dem Affen wurd ein Punk,
Schon interessant wie das geschah, doch bald mein Kind ist das Ende da
Denn bald mein Kind ist Weltuntergang,
An den Weltuntergang,
Auch du bist dann dran,
Beim Weltuntergang
Die Sonne ist ein Stern, sie hat uns alle gern
Die Blumen essen ihre Strahln und müssen dafür nix bezahln,
Nun riech mal in der Luft, den süssen Blütenduft
Summ, summ schon kommt das bienchen an
Doch bald mein Kind ist Weltuntergang
The lyrics describe the evolution of humanity and the impending doom of the world. It starts by referencing the theory of evolution, stating that a long time ago an ape emerged from the sea and slowly evolved into a human. This is followed by a line about the dinosaurs becoming sick and an ape turning into a punk, which could be interpreted as a commentary on the state of the environment and society.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Weltuntergang," which translates to "end of the world" in English. The lyrics urge the listener to accept and get used to the idea of the world ending as it is inevitable. The verse about the sun being a star and the flowers absorbing its rays for free seems to contrast the destruction of the world with the simplicity and beauty of nature.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of nihilism and hopelessness about the future of humanity and the world, leaving the listener to ponder the consequences of their actions and the direction society is headed.
