The song parodies common cliches about metallers, the press used to discredit the band.
For example it contains a passage, that addresses the song to people who don't like the band due to their long hair. (Für die Leute die uns immer wieder schreiben, mit langen Haaren können wir euch nicht leiden)
In the refrain they are singing "we are total metallers" (Wir sind die totalen Metaller). The term metaller is pronounced in a very German way, that could be a site blow to their conservative opposers, who like to use traditional expressions.
The ironic use of "total" expresses that they don't want to be labeled as typical metallers, but as individual band.
