Interpretation
The song 'Liebeslieder' by
CIVO is a romantic ballad that tells the story of the singer's love and affection for a special woman. The contradiction in the lyrics 'And I'm so sick of love songs' and 'Ich kann diese Liebeslieder nicht mehr hör'n' shows the irony that despite his dislike for love songs, he himself writes one. He portrays the relationship he has with his beloved as something special and unique, saying 'Wir beide sind auserwählt' (We both are chosen). He admires the beauty of his beloved and values her presence in his life greatly, as shown in the lines 'Aber ich lieb es, wenn sie mein Shirt trägt' (But I love it when she wears my shirt) and 'Ich könnt alles verlier'n außer dich' (I could lose everything except you). He also shows his willingness to spoil his beloved and give her luxury gifts, as seen in the lines 'Ich mach deinen Ring zu 'nem Tiffany' (I turn your ring into a Tiffany) and 'Mach deine Watch zu ′ner AP' (I turn your watch into an AP). The lyrics also show his insecurity and fear of losing his beloved, as seen in the lines 'In mein′n DMs sind viele Frau'n, sorry' (I have many women in my DMs, sorry) and 'Kannst du mir noch trau'n?' (Can you still trust me?). Despite this insecurity, he shows his commitment and love for her, with the words 'Ich würd alles für dich tun' (I would do anything for you). The song ends with the repetition of the contradiction he expressed at the beginning, highlighting the complexity of his feelings and his struggle with love.
