I’ve been listening to “Du bist schön” for months. I finally decided to “study” it today so that I can understand it. (IE: Google translate, Wiktionary, etc. etc.)
…
Holy shit. I knew the words for mirror, beautiful, as well as Alligatoah makes it clear that this guy was talking to himself in the song. But the full understanding was lost until I studied now.
That’s a lot of self deprecating humor all at once. With a huge amount of social commentary.
I can highly recommend as a German language exercise, though maybe it’s a bit of a downer overall.

I knew this was a sarcastic and “biting” song even without study. But wow.
