Frontman Frank Herzig comments:
“In the end, ‘Besser als der Rest’ [‘Better than the Rest’] is about one thing: to enjoy the moment, to celebrate every day and night, and to never get locked in – neither by others nor yourself. This song is a call to leave your daily routine behind and to live your life to the fullest. The line ‘Wir singen schiefer, wir baggern schlechter’ [‘We sing flatter, we shark worse’] makes clear: It’s not about perfection or adaptation but energy, passion, and authenticity. ‘Besser als der Rest’ isn’t arrogant – this is our statement: we’re different, we’re loud, we’re simply us – and we don’t care what other people think of us.”
