Dinge Lyrics in English Deichkind

Get ready for a wild inventory! In "Dinge“, Hamburg’s electro-rap renegades Deichkind rattle off a never-ending list of things – glittering gadgets, golden trinkets, smart devices and explosive toys – to a bouncy beat that makes you want to shout Kein Ding, Digger, das Ding hat Swing! On the surface it feels like a playful shopping spree, but the flood of nouns quickly turns into a tidal wave: Dinge geben Kingdom, Dinge nehmen alles. The group is poking fun at how we chase, stack and flaunt objects until they own us, filling our lives with noise while staying totally silent themselves.

Beneath the party vibe lies a sharp social critique. The song shows how consumer goods and technology seduce us with power, beauty and convenience, then quietly slip into the driver’s seat – Dinge ersetzen Menschen, Dinge übernehm'n. By the time the chorus hits again, the listener is dancing and sweating, yet also questioning why these lifeless items dictate status, identity and even our bedtime lullabies. "Dinge" is both a celebration of catchy rhythms and a tongue-in-cheek warning: enjoy the swing, but keep an eye on the stuff before the stuff keeps an eye on you.
