Alles nur geklaut

A ringing anthem about how fun life is when you pocket someone else's idea and pass it off as your own. Everything here is built on irony: the people are delighted, singing in chorus, but behind the façade of shining success is a cunning thief who simply ‘borrowed’ everything that sparkled.

Every line is deliberately theatrical: a palace with a white horse, a poem for a romantic walk - and everywhere the same confession with a smirk: ‘It's not mine, but you like it, don't you?’ As a result, the listener no longer condemns, but plays along, because the deception is presented so contagiously that it itself becomes part of the performance.

In this song, parody and honesty are woven together into a single show. It does not hide its trick, but on the contrary, makes it the main focus. And perhaps that is why the ‘stolen’ hit sounds much more alive than many real ones.
