Interpretation
The lyrics of the song 'Hausbesuch' by
Pajel tell the story of four men who decide to rob the house of a wealthy man. They come to steal, and they do it out of principle, not out of necessity, as they themselves have enough money. The atmosphere is tense, with one of the men having an angel and devil on his shoulders giving him different advice. In the end, they leave the wealthy man alive, but only because he reveals the code to the safe.
The line 'we take your Inzan and the Lilanen too' refers to stealing money and possibly drugs, while the line 'safe is built behind the mirror' indicates that they know where the safe is hidden.
There is also some contempt for the wealthy man's wife, who is referred to as a 'whore' and attempts to flirt with the intruders to protect herself. However, the men do not let themselves be distracted and remain focused on their goal of robbing the house.
Overall, the lyrics of the song are a dark portrayal of men living in the underworld and choosing to live by their own rules, regardless of moral considerations or the consequences of their actions.
