Reinhard Mey wrote a song about the American prison camp Guantánamo ( Alles OK in Guantánamo Bay ). The album contains a song that tells of a visit by Reinhard Mey to France during his youth: Douce France (Eng. "Beautiful (sweet) France"). Both a song about getting older ( Spider Man ) can be found on the gold album, as well as a song about a father-son relationship, wrapped in a story about the passion of autograph hunters ( Sven ). In Friedhof , Mey tells the (thought-provoking) visit to a cemetery and the resulting thought processes of a person.
The singer-songwriter wrote a song about the life of dogs as pets from their point of view ( dog prayer ), and in the song Lower Arms he calls for peace instead of war .
Reinhard Mey criticizes the Catholic Church ( I don't think so ). In the song Do you know the small, not really useful items? it's about small everyday objects that accumulate in a household over time, but you don't have the heart to throw them away. And the song Sommerende describes the difficult parting of a beautiful summer that brings back happy memories.
The songs also tell about friendship ( I can! ) And love ( I'm with you ).
