Baumhaus
die Wallerts Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey Seb, komm runter, komm mit mit mir,
Wir müssen noch zum Baumarkt - Latten klaun.
Mit den Balken, um das Baumhaus zu bauen.
Am ersten Baum hängt die Plattform schon,
Mit etwas Glück hängt die dort 10 Jahre lang.
Jetzt müssen nur noch Strickleitern ran.
Hol den Fuchsschwanz, dawa!
Wir haben uns - ein Baumhaus gebaut
Wir werden die fiesesten Zecken
Dieser Stadt engagieren
Die sollen nachts seinen Porsche
Fett mit Scheiße beschmieren
Wir habens geahnt, Grün-Weiß fährt vor
Und will die Baugenehmigung sehn,
Doch mit den ganzen Zecken, die nun hinter uns stehn,
Wird ne ganze Baumhaussiedlung entstehn
Hol den Fuchsschwanz, dawa!
Wir haben uns ...
Ich gebe zu, ich hab das Alles nur geträumt,
Und am nächsten Morgen,
Da wurden wir geräumt... Hol den Fuchsschwanz, Dawa!
Wir haben uns - ein Baumhaus gebaut...
The lyrics to Die Wallerts' song Baumhaus tell the story of two friends named Seb and the singer who are building a treehouse. The two sneak into a hardware store to steal wooden boards so they can construct the treehouse. They hang the first platform on the tree and hope it will stay there for a long time. The singer mentions that they don't need railings or other safety measures because they're avoiding authorities. They plan to put ladders made of rope onto the tree so they can climb up.
The lyrics then shift to the future, where the singer imagines that they will use the treehouse as a base to prank people, such as putting feces on someone's Porsche. They imagine that they will eventually have a group of people who will all have treehouses and stop any authorities who might try to shut them down. However, the song ends on a sad note when the singer admits that it was all just a dream and they were removed from the tree.
One interesting aspect of Baumhaus is that it showcases the rebellious and adventurous nature of youth. In addition, the use of humor in the lyrics also adds to the playful nature of the song. Another interesting fact is that "Baumhaus" means "treehouse" in German, which is the language in which the song is sung.
