Highnachtsmann 3
GReeeN
A High-Flying Winter Wonderland
GReeeN's song "Highnachtsmann 3" is a playful and irreverent take on the traditional themes of winter and Christmas. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a winter wonderland, but with a twist—it's a world where cannabis is freely distributed to bring peace and joy. The song opens with the imagery of "vanilla sky," suggesting a serene and dreamlike atmosphere, which is further enhanced by the presence of weed, symbolizing relaxation and tranquility. The artist humorously positions himself as a modern-day Santa Claus, delivering not toys, but cannabis, to spread happiness and calmness.
The narrative takes a comedic turn with the mention of a chaotic scene involving a forklift and a gun, which quickly shifts back to the lighthearted theme of "Highnachten," a pun on "Weihnachten" (Christmas in German) and being high. GReeeN's lyrics suggest a world where everyone, from children to adults, can partake in the festivities, with the artist offering "goodies for arm and reich" (poor and rich), emphasizing inclusivity and equality. The song critiques the commercialization of Christmas, replacing the traditional Santa with a more relatable and down-to-earth figure who brings people together through shared experiences.
Throughout the song, GReeeN uses humor and satire to challenge societal norms and the traditional image of Christmas. By distributing weed, he envisions a world where peace and understanding prevail, highlighting the potential for cannabis to foster community and harmony. The song's playful tone and catchy chorus invite listeners to reconsider their perceptions of holiday traditions and embrace a more relaxed and joyful approach to the season.
