Zeitvertreib — pastime / diversion

Zeitvertreib literally translates to "time-passer" or "diversion". It's an interesting word because it suggests an activity done purely to pass the time, often implying it's not deeply meaningful or productive.

In the context of Massiv's song "LUXUS", he uses this word to reflect on the superficiality of material wealth. He states, "All der Luxus ist nur Zeitvertreib" (All the luxury is just a pastime), implying that despite the opulence, these things are ultimately just distractions and don't hold true value or meaning in his life. This offers a surprising philosophical twist in a song about luxury.
