This is another of my hip hop song. It reflects on modern illusions, cheap dreams, and the stories we choose to believe.
It paints a contrast between picture-perfect promises and the messy truth beneath them, using the image of a humble Tetrapak of wine as a symbol of comfort, honesty, and escape. While the world sells paradise through polished images and empty hope, the narrator finds clarity in simplicity — even if that clarity is blurred by a liter of liquid dreams.
With irony, humor, and melancholy, the track explores disillusionment, self-awareness, and the quiet rebellion of choosing what feels real over what looks perfect.
Lyrics:
We believe in the pictures someone paints for us,
A sky without worries, a life without fuss.
But when the colors fade, the dream turns to dust,
I hold my Lidl Tetrapak close – that’s the one thing I trust.
Oh, illusions, they carry us far,
But the truth always comes – it just knows where we are.
With a Tetrapak of wine I push it away,
A liter of liquid dreams for a fleeting display.
Tetrapak in my heart, Tetrapak in my glass,
I drown all the illusions, forget what came to pass.
With a Tetrapak of wine we build our delight,
A box full of dreams brings half the truth back for the night.
Tenerife shines like paradise made of stone,
But around every corner, truth laughs in red wine tones.
Life isn’t a photo, no endless April thrill,
But my Tetrapak whispers: I want to stay still.
The world of plastic pictures shows us a face,
It dazzles and shines, but my soul finds no place.
It preaches its wonders, sells us a prayer,
My Tetrapak leans in, says: Buddy, come on – it’s not so unfair.
Tetrapak in my heart, Tetrapak in my glass,
I drown all the illusions, forget what came to pass.
With a Tetrapak of wine we build our delight,
A box full of dreams brings half the truth back for the night.
And we think that control lies safe in our hand,
While dreams and reality sink in the black sand.
I raise up my Tetrapak, laugh while the moment stays,
One euro buys truth – it remains when all decays.
