We Butter the Bread With Butter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Und reise durch die ganze Welt
Mein Leben scheint beneidenswert
Doch irgendwas läuft hier verkehrt
Bei Kaiser's an der Kasse schwitzen
Immer noch bei Mama sitzen
(uh uh) ich bin geil
(uh uh) ich bin Rockstar
Von der Zukunft keinen Plan
(uh uh) Supergeil
Ich bin Rockstar
Ein Stern ist geboren
Rockstar
Sie hab'n mich belogen
Jeder kennt mich, doch keiner mag mich
Scheiss drauf
Ich find mich trotzdem geil
Stammlokal, man glaubt es kaum
Beim Arbeitsamt der Warteraum
(uh uh) ich bin geil
(uh uh) ich bin Rockstar
Flaschenpfand ist meine Miete
Papa denkt
Ich bin 'ne Niete
(uh uh) Supergeil
Ich
Habe allen vertaut
Ich habe alles
Geglaubt
Du wirst Rockstar
Ich
Habe allen vertaut ich habe alles
Geglaubt
Ich werd Rockstar ich bin
Rockstar
Supergeil
Rockstar
The song "Rockstar" by We Butter the Bread With Butter is about the disillusionment of the life of a rockstar. The lyrics sarcastically describe the luxurious lifestyle of a rockstar; they are assumed to have made it big, travel the world, have everything they could ever want, and their life seems enviable. However, the reality is far from dreamy. The singer reveals their struggles, such as sweating at the checkout line in the supermarket or still living with their mother. The chorus proclaims their identity as a rockstar despite their poverty and lack of a plan for the future.
The song suggests that the idea of becoming a rockstar is a kind of deception. The singer was told that they would become a star and eventually make it. They trusted the people who told them this and believed that they could achieve their dreams. However, it turns out that the reality of the life of a rockstar is not as glamorous as they thought it would be. The chorus "Ich bin Rockstar, ein Stern ist geboren" (I am a rockstar, a star is born) is sarcastic and shows that becoming a rockstar is not a guarantee of success or happiness.
