Jalousie
morten x Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Die Sirenen singen, ich sing 'ne Harmonie
Bin in meiner Zone seit 'nem Monat
Jesus, vergib' mir meine Sünden
24 / 7 auf den Streets
Meine Manesha, ich glaub' ich hab mich verliebt
Gesegnet, Bruder, klar wie die Kristalle
Ich schwör, ich bleib Einhundert bis zum Galgen
Ich lebe und sterb' für die Familie
Wird der Cadillac zu einem Kürbis
Du weißt, der Reaper guckt auf die Uhr, man
Ketama Gold so wie ein Assassin
Verliebt genug, ich weiß, ich hab' verdient
Augen immer rot, ich kann nicht schwarzsehen
Kein Respekt, nein, nur Respekt vor Mama
Sheesh
Wenn es sein muss, schieß
Also zieh, zieh, zieh die Jalousie
Lass' die Nacht nicht enden, nein, nein, nie, nie
Laternen gehen an in meiner City
Wir haben gewonn', was heißt verlieren?
Autotune und Hennessy
Von Moabit in Westberlin
Mein Leben auf dem Klimax
Lass' probieren und dann gucken
Baby, zieh die Jalousie
Denn die Straßen reden viel
Ja, Ja, ich brauche mehr vor der Tür, man
Zombies vor der Tür, sie wollen Kombis
Sheesh
Wenn es sein muss, schieß
Also zieh, zieh, zieh die Jalousie
Lass' die Nacht nicht enden, nein, nein, nie, nie
Laternen gehen an in meiner City
Wir haben gewonn', was heißt verlieren?
The song "Jalousie" by Morten X is a powerful and emotional rap song that explores themes of love, sin, and the struggle of living on the streets. The opening line "Baby, zieh die Jalousie" (Baby, pull down the blinds) sets the tone for the song, indicating the desire for privacy and shutting out the outside world. The sirens are singing in the background, but the singer is lost in his own world, singing a harmonious melody.
The lyrics reveal that the singer has been in his own zone for a month, living on the streets and struggling to survive. He asks for forgiveness for his sins and declares his love for Manesha. He feels blessed and clear in his goals, but knows the Reaper (death) is always watching. He compares himself to an assassin, skilled and deadly, and declares that he has earned his love.
The chorus emphasizes the need for privacy and shutting out the outside world, with the line "Also zieh, zieh, zieh die Jalousie" repeated multiple times. The singer wants to keep the night going and not let it end, and the street lanterns light up his city. However, he is also surrounded by zombies who want to take what he has. The Autotune and Hennessy represent the escape and comfort he seeks in his tough life. The song ends with the declaration that they have won, even in the face of losing.
