Interpretation
The song 'Guestlist +1' by
HBz is about a man who feels inferior to his partner or the woman he desires. She is superior in many ways: she is stylish ('she is classy'), intelligent ('she is smarter than smart'), wealthy ('she has brains and style') and educated ('she knows Goethe'). On the other hand, the singer sees himself as a failure ('I'm a good-for-nothing'), less educated ('she has a high school diploma and I only have an Xbox') and less financially stable ('she drives a Benz and I ride the FlixBus'). Despite these differences, there is one thing that makes him attractive to her: he has access to exclusive events or clubs ('I have guestlist +1'). She uses him as a ticket to gain access to these places. The song addresses themes such as social differences, attractiveness, and the power of access privileges to exclusive events.
