Hymne Gegen Euch

Provinz's song "Hymne Gegen Euch" is a powerful and defiant anthem that speaks to the frustrations and disillusionment of the younger generation. The lyrics immediately set the tone by addressing the listener directly, assuring them that they are not alone in their anger and discontent. The song challenges the stereotype that youth are apathetic and uninterested in politics, instead highlighting a collective sense of frustration and a desire for change. The repeated line, "Das ist kein Lied für uns, das ist 'ne Hymne gegen euch" (This is not a song for us, this is an anthem against you), underscores the song's confrontational stance against the establishment and societal norms.

The lyrics also touch on themes of social inequality and the struggles faced by the younger generation. The mention of "deine Jungs geh'n in' Puff, sind sie in Sicherheit" (your boys go to the brothel, are they safe) and "Hörst du die Schüsse in der Luft?" (Do you hear the shots in the air?) paints a vivid picture of a society where safety and security are elusive, and where the youth are forced to navigate a world filled with violence and exploitation. The song's imagery of dirt and being forced to one's knees further emphasizes the oppressive environment that the youth are rebelling against.

Provinz uses the song to call out the older generation and those in power, accusing them of being out of touch and only concerned with their own interests. The line "Sie kennen nur ihren Tellerrand" (They only know their own plate) suggests a narrow-mindedness and a lack of empathy for the struggles of others. The song's repeated refrain serves as a rallying cry for the youth to stand together and fight against the injustices they face, transforming their silent protest into a powerful and united force. "Hymne Gegen Euch" is not just a song, but a declaration of resistance and a demand for change.
