"Outta This World" by Genetikk is a German song that talks about the artist's perspective on death and his legacy in the music industry. The lyrics portray a sense of acceptance and celebration of the artist's own funeral, as he watches from above. The song begins with the artist referring to his own funeral as a "Totgesang" (funeral song) and "Requiem," indicating that he sees his death as a moment of reflection and closure. The artist mentions that people have gathered to celebrate his burial, and he agrees that it is how he would have wanted it. He sarcastically interrupts his own peaceful rest to comment on the gathering and praise he receives, indicating that even in death, his name and talent are remembered. Despite the sense of finality and mortality, the artist assuredly states that he is in good company with the "Big Boss," suggesting a connection to a higher power or spiritual realm. He mentions being in the clouds and discussing hip-hop, emphasizing his passion for the genre. The artist acknowledges the struggles he faced in life, both figuratively and literally, stating that nobody can escape death. He reflects on bargaining for every breath but ultimately being called home by the "Sensemann" (Grim Reaper). However, he leaves behind his rap legacy, referring to it as his "Vermächtnis" (legacy). He claims to have left secret codes in his tracklist, suggesting hidden meanings within his music. The artist asserts his superiority and uniqueness, stating that he is better than perfect and a gift to humanity. He likens himself to a human, made in the image of his creator. The song takes a turn towards a mythical reference, mentioning the Elysium and delirium, perhaps alluding to a celestial afterlife or an altered state of consciousness. In the chorus, the artist repeats the phrase "Türen öffnen sich mir" (doors open to me), suggesting that he has access to new opportunities and possibilities, even beyond death. He reaffirms his presence and influence on the music stage, mentioning doing a backflip and asserting that he cannot be defeated. The artist further emphasizes his relevance and uniqueness, referring to himself as the "Gringo Nummer Eins" (the number one Gringo) and expressing his indifference towards being labeled as an independent or major artist. He mentions following his own code rather than the ticking hands of a Rolex watch, metaphorically suggesting that he lived life on his terms. The artist reflects on his past struggles with substance abuse but claims to have reached a higher state of being, implying personal growth and change. He mentions his fingers adorned with rings as symbols of sinful behavior and expresses his desire for redemption in the real-life fictional city of God. The song concludes with the artist finding peace and closing his eyes to rest. He reflects on the idea that every person must live and die with the consequences of their actions and the spirits they summon. This suggests a deeper reflection on personal responsibility and the impact one leaves behind. Overall, "Outta This World" explores themes of mortality, acceptance of death, and leaving behind a legacy. The lyrics convey a sense of self-assurance and celebration of the artist's impact on the world, both in life and beyond.
