SO RAUS (feat. Fred Durst)

Alligatoah's song 'SO RAUS,' featuring Fred Durst, delves into themes of disconnection and disillusionment with modern society's relentless pace and its obsession with trends. The lyrics begin with the protagonist recounting a camping trip where they stayed offline, only to return to a world that seems alien and overly consumed by superficiality. The reference to 'Idiocracy' underscores a society declining in intellectual engagement, overwhelmed by trivial pursuits.

The chorus, 'Keine Ahnung, wovon alle reden, ich bin so raus, so raus, so raus' (I have no idea what everyone is talking about, I'm so out, so out, so out), captures the essence of feeling out of touch with the current societal norms and choosing to retreat into a personal space where old albums play 'behind the moon.' This metaphorical expression suggests a complete disengagement from the mainstream to a place of personal authenticity and nostalgia. The repeated phrase 'slow down' emphasizes the desire to escape the fast-paced, competitive race that modern life has become.

Fred Durst's verses add a layer of defiance, advocating for a detachment from technology and the superficial aspects of contemporary culture. The call for 'unplugging' to appreciate life's distortions reflects a broader critique of how digital connectivity has shaped perceptions and interactions. The song ends with the term 'Boomer,' used both ironically and as a reclaiming of the term often used derogatorily towards older generations resistant to change, suggesting a solidarity in choosing to step away from societal pressures.
