Interpretation
The song 'Auf die Party' by
badmómzjay is about the artist's feelings and experiences at parties. She describes often feeling uncomfortable and disconnected, saying 'I arrive at the party and immediately want to leave' and 'I still don't like people, maybe I have a problem'. It seems that she feels alienated from the people around her and lacks genuine contact or exchange with them ('I hear everyone talking, but no one has anything to say'). She feels watched and misunderstood ('Everyone is clinging to me as if I were a superstar'). Despite her dissatisfaction and desire to leave, she stays at the party because she feels she needs to be there or is expected to be there. She tries to console herself with alcohol ('Take a cup, it's better than having nothing in your hand'). She longs for solitude and calm ('I think I'd much rather be alone'), but feels compelled to stay in company. However, throughout the song, she becomes more courageous and decides to set her own rules ('Sticker on the camera, I know you know the rule') and make her own decisions ('I'm here for the music, not leaving with you').
