Elon Musk Props for your Mars project

Don't listen to Peter, he twisted words

Even with Twitter, Digga, everything is great

It's bullshit that you're foiling the plans

I ride cargo bikes on purpose, every single one

Asis, don't let me take away my beach!

You'd better look for another topic

For example, whether someone stuck to it somewhere

Correctly there is more sea

The habitat will certainly be clarified

How they all frantically talk about consequences

You couldn't really live on a few continents anymore

Lies from circles of lying travelers

There's still a bunch available here

And there used to be only one

Better practice being smarter

No more running on running boards

Pangea was there

That's it

I don't want much at all

I just want the sea

Right on my doorstep'

And surfing for baby seals

I don't want much at all

I just want the sea

The climate change thing would be worth it to me

Don't want much

Simply sea

I don't understand why everyone is complaining

Not much at all

Simply sea

The governments will sort that out

We are turning the Ruhrpott into a Meerpott

Until I sit on the terrace overlooking the beach

The Alps, après ski holiday island

And Holland, the real Atlantis

And I make stickers

With “Fuck you Greta!”

On the stern of my oil rig

Chuck, see you later

Even in winter, swimming on boards in the steppe

It says on the Great Wall of China

"Don't jump off the edge of the pool!"

And at the airport they want to feel our buttocks

But I don't need to go there anymore

To chill by the ocean

Give me the air conditioning upgrade

A bit of dope, cardboard, mushroom

And we celebrate in the sun

Until the polar caps melt

A cruise is fun

A cruise is nice

So let the Greens speak

Set the plastic bag sails

I don't want much at all

I just want the sea

Right on my doorstep'

And surfing for baby seals

I don't want much at all

I just want the sea

The climate change thing would be worth it to me

Don't want much

Simply sea

I don't understand why everyone is complaining

Not much at all

Simply sea

The governments will sort that out!

The time comes

Where sea levels are rising

That's where I come home

I'll take down the sails again

The time comes

Where sea levels are rising

That's where I come home

I'll take down the sails again

The time comes

Meerpott — Sea-pot / Ocean-pot

Meerpott is a playful and unique compound word created by the artists, combining "Meer" (sea/ocean) and "Pott" (a colloquial term for the Ruhr area in Germany, but also meaning "pot").

In the song, the 257ers, who are from the Ruhrpott, declare, "Wir machen den Ruhrpott zum Meerpott" (We're turning the Ruhrpott into the Meerpott). This imaginative word perfectly encapsulates their absurd and humorous vision of transforming their landlocked industrial home into a coastal paradise, complete with beaches and surfing. It's memorable because it's a neologism that captures the song's central, fantastical theme.

"Ich will Meer" is satire. 257ers play a narrator who claims to love the sea so much that he's actually rooting for climate change, since rising sea levels mean more beach for everyone.

The joke runs through the whole song: he "rides cargo bikes on purpose," slaps "Fuck you Greta" stickers on his oil rig, wants a "climate upgrade," and can't wait for the polar caps to melt so he can party in the sun. He mocks people who worry about the consequences, brushing off floods, drought, and lost habitats as someone else's problem.

It's a jab at climate change deniers and anyone who treats a global crisis as a personal inconvenience to laugh off, wrapped in absurd, over-the-top bragging about wanting nothing but "meer" (more, and sea).
