Trippin’ Lyrics in English by Luciano
Dämon translates directly to "demon" in English. It's a striking and evocative word that immediately grabs attention due to its strong imagery and often negative connotations.
In the context of Luciano's song, "Dämon" likely refers to the internal struggles, temptations, or dark forces that the artist faces amidst his success and lavish lifestyle. The line "Courtage, Dämon, drrt, in mein' Kopf" suggests these demons are mental, perhaps related to the pressures of his career or past experiences, making it a powerful and intriguing word choice.
Luciano spends the first verse listing what the money bought — the five-star hotel, the Hennessy, the diamond grillz — and then refuses the part of it that would change him: "Bin immer noch Block, nein, ich brauche kein Pelz" (I'm still a block, no, I don't need fur). The whole turn sits in one line, half German and half English, which is how he raps the entire song: "Broke back in the days, doch heute too rich" (Broke back in the days, but too rich today).
What the money did change is who he lets near him. Twice he runs through the same warning — "Tu nicht auf Fan, tu nicht auf Freund, hab' schon viele gesehen" (Don't pretend to be a fan, don't pretend to be a friend, I've seen a lot of them), then "Worte nicht echt, Lügen für Geld, guck, sie kommen und gehen" (Words not real, lies for money, look, they come and go). By the end the voices are his own: "So viele Stimmen in meinem Kopf, suche Realität" (So many voices in my head, looking for reality). Trippin' here means the paranoia, not the good night.
