The song juxtaposes the banal daily life of a number of people in the verse against a call to rise up against an oppressive regime during the chorus.

Both verses and the chorus following them use the multiple meanings of a single German word ("stehen" and "setzen") differentiating them by context.

The song describes multiple people (one a would-be-protester, the other a company president) trying to do good, only to be distracted from their goals by a not explicitly named reason.

The singer experiences an abrupt but subtle change in a relationship and airs his desire to return to a previous state of it.

In the last part of the song, Bela describes Farin and his solo project as terrorism and a threat to society to a policeman, also referencing the cover of Endlich Urlaub!.

The song also counts up a number of famous people that died early (Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Lee and Kurt Cobain) and also mentions that it is too late for the singer, Farin.

Rod describes a recent episode in which he had his penis pierced for his girlfriend, though the couple broke up soon after (before the swelling went down) and advises the listener to not follow the same path.

Stereotypically, all women are sensitive and respectful to each other and thus the problems and social evils present in the modern world would be nonexistent.

A song about the desire to ignore worldly problems and social evils while occupying oneself with inconsequential trivialities.
