Alles schon geschrieben

Samra's song 'Alles schon geschrieben' delves deep into the themes of destiny, struggle, and the harsh realities of life. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life marked by violence, loneliness, and the constant battle against one's inner demons. The opening lines, 'Kiefer brechen, schießen, stechen,' set a tone of aggression and conflict, reflecting the artist's turbulent past and the environment he grew up in. This is further emphasized by his admission of sleepless nights and the feeling of fighting a solitary battle, highlighting the mental and emotional toll of his experiences.

The song also explores the concept of fate and predestination. Samra repeatedly mentions that 'Gott hat alles schon geschrieben' (God has already written everything), suggesting a belief that his life's path, with all its trials and tribulations, is preordained. This fatalistic view is juxtaposed with his determination to fight and become a legend, indicating a struggle between accepting one's fate and striving to change it. The lyrics 'Blut, Schweiß und Trän'n, die geflossen sind' (Blood, sweat, and tears that have flowed) underscore the immense effort and sacrifice involved in his journey.

Cultural and personal references are abundant throughout the song. Samra speaks of his origins in Berlin, a city known for its gritty streets and tough upbringing. He also touches on his transformation from a 'Gossenkind' (gutter child) to a superstar, a journey marked by both external success and internal turmoil. The mention of 'Jibrail und Iblis' (Gabriel and Satan) and 'Hussein und Samra' reflects the duality of his existence, caught between good and evil, and the constant battle for his soul. The song is a raw and unfiltered look into Samra's life, offering listeners a glimpse into the struggles and triumphs that have shaped him.
