Song Meaning
The hook repeats "Jeder," the German word for "everyone," immediately establishing a sense of widespread participation in something. The verse then clarifies this: "Everyone wants to deal drugs now." This sets a scene of a community or social circle where illicit activities and drug use are becoming the norm, almost a trend. The narrator, however, distances himself from this, dismissing the drugs others consume as "just shit."
The central tension arises from this contrast between the narrator's perceived authenticity and the widespread, perhaps superficial, engagement with drugs and a certain lifestyle. While "everyone" seems to be chasing this high or this image, the narrator implies a deeper, perhaps more cynical, understanding. The repeated "Jajaja" and the parenthetical "Fix nicht, fix nicht" (meaning "don't fix it" or "don't get it right") suggest a dismissive or ironic attitude towards the situation, as if the whole scene is a bit of a joke or a futile pursuit.
The lyrics paint a picture of a specific subculture, mentioning "Meine Brudis tragen Bart" (My bros wear beards), and mention "Eastpack-Bauchtaschen drinnen ist das Harz" (Eastpak fanny packs, inside is the resin), grounding the scene in tangible, albeit gritty, details. The "Käfig" (cage) functions as a recurring meeting point, a place for "chilling" and receiving "Pillen" (pills). This imagery creates a sense of a confined, almost ritualistic space where these activities take place, further emphasizing the insular nature of this world.
What makes these lyrics hit is their bluntness and the implied judgment. The narrator isn't necessarily condemning the lifestyle but rather observing its prevalence with a detached, almost weary tone. The repetition of "Jeder" isn't just a count; it's a commentary on conformity and the allure of a certain path, while the narrator positions himself as an outsider looking in, unimpressed by the "shit" everyone else seems to be chasing.
