Ein part Immer Frei

Capital Bra's song 'Ein part Immer Frei' delves into the complexities of fame, success, and the personal sacrifices that come with it. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the artist's journey from the streets to stardom, highlighting the dual nature of success and the impact it has on personal relationships. The song begins with a reflection on breaking records and achieving legendary status, yet it also acknowledges the loss of privacy and the increase in critics and haters that accompany fame.

As the song progresses, Capital Bra touches on the theme of escaping the harsh realities of his past life while simultaneously moving away from 'paradise,' a metaphor for innocence or perhaps a simpler life before fame. The repeated lines about driving 'mit dreihundert um die Kurve' (at three hundred around the curve) and shouting 'Fuck the police' symbolize a fast-paced, reckless lifestyle that contrasts sharply with the desire for peace and normalcy. The imagery of fleeing from the police while the passenger shoots adds a layer of intensity and urgency to the narrative.

Towards the end of the song, the focus shifts to the personal cost of fame, particularly the strain it puts on friendships. The artist expresses nostalgia for the times spent with friends, away from the glitz of the red carpet, indicating a longing for genuine connections over superficial accolades. The line 'Aus Prinzip lasse ich ein'n Part immer frei' (Out of principle, I always leave a part free) suggests that despite his success, he reserves a space in his life and his work for those true friendships, perhaps a tribute to a specific friend or to his roots.
