Interpretation
The song 'Disney' by
Peter Fox seems to tell a love story in a surreal and partially hallucinogenic environment. The singer describes how he sets off towards his beloved person every night, describing the scene with images like lights over the park, endorphins seeping into the grass, and his own eyes looking like Froot Loops (a type of breakfast cereal).
He realizes that his world may be a little too much like Disney, meaning too fanciful and unrealistic. He even poses the question of whether he is living in some kind of Truman Show, referencing the movie of the same name in which the main character lives unknowingly in a fake reality.
He also describes how he is guided to southwest Berlin by the weather and 'chemtrails', and how he sees his molecules floating above 'Strawberry Fields', possibly referencing the Beatles' song of the same name and the feeling of a psychedelic experience.
Despite the surrealness of his surroundings, his affection for the person he is heading towards is very real and intense. He can only see her and wishes to kiss her. He even expresses the desire to take her mouth with him when he leaves in the morning and return it to her the next night.
