Rubel refers to the Russian currency, the ruble. While it's a real-world currency, its appearance in a German song about striking it rich and living a fast life makes it stand out.
In the context of the lyrics, "Das Auge sieht soweit der Rubel reicht" (The eye sees as far as the ruble reaches), it's used metaphorically to suggest that one's perspective and opportunities are limited by their wealth. It's an interesting and somewhat unexpected word choice that adds a unique flavor to the song's theme of ambition and materialism.
**Hop aboard Bilderbuch’s velvet-lined jet and you will whiz past Tijuana, New Mexico, and a showroom full of Lamborghinis, all sparkling with bling bling bling. But just when the beat tempts you to floor the accelerator, the singer pulls the handbrake: “Gib dir mehr Zeit” — give yourself more time. The track playfully parades luxury and escapist fantasies only to mock them, serving up coconut-flavoured rum for karma and cheeky advice like “relax and don’t pay tax.”
Behind the glossy postcard images lies a chilled-out mantra. The repeated OM and the hypnotic chorus invite you to slow your pulse, tune out the daily drama, and focus on self-care rather than status. “OM” is a tongue-in-cheek meditation session set to indie-pop funk: it winks at consumer culture while reminding you that true wealth is measured in moments, not money. Close your eyes, breathe, and—most importantly—gib dir mehr Zeit.
