ZeiDverschwÄndung Lyrics in English Die Ärzte

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song ZeiDverschwÄndung by Die Ärzte from German to English.
You've been surfing around all day
the worldwide web
hoping that maybe
somebody will snitch something
someone who's closer to your gods than you are
But you're never satisfied
You never ever rest
There's so much to see
There's so much to learn
Don't you have anything better to do
Verse 1
than listening to Die Ärzte?
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
There's so much beautiful new music
even sung in German
I admit our career
has turned out pretty well
But sometimes it's time
to move on
You can't spend your whole life
only be into one band
It was a mistake to swear eternal
loyalty to us
Because there's better
to do than listening to Die Ärzte
La la la la la la
Just read a book
or finish your degree
become a terrorist
and spread fear and dread
at least find a group
that kicks *ss and rocks
admit that the cult around us
hasn't shocked for a long time
It's time now to clear your player
of our songs
Because there's better to do
There's also bad stuff to do
But there's really nothing better to do
Ärzte
listening to Die Ärzte
listening to Die Ärzte
listening to Die Ärzte
listening to Die Ärzte

SONG MEANING

"ZeiDverschwÄndung" is Die Ärzte’s tongue-in-cheek love letter to musical curiosity. In the lyrics, the band jokingly scolds die-hard fans who spend all day online hunting for gossip and spinning their old Die Ärzte tracks instead of exploring the world. With playful la-la-las and plenty of sarcasm, they insist there is so much to see, learn, and listen to: new bands, new books, even finishing that long-ignored degree!

Beneath the humor lies a sincere message: fandom should never become a cage. The song invites listeners to step outside their comfort zone, challenge their own routines, and remember that life—and music—is richer when you keep discovering. By poking fun at their own “cult” status, Die Ärzte remind us that true artistic spirit thrives on change, variety, and a healthy dose of self-irony.
