To me, Europa was mostly chastising the EU that despite its power, it was unable to be decisive and save refugees and migrants who died, and the situation is killing the EU through the rise of fascism.
I mean:
And came from the outside
They come in droves
But you had no mercy
Dead bodies were floating on the sea
I think this is leftist criticism of the EU, if anything.
Listen to their new album, Richter und Henker, it will clear it up.
The titular song “Richter und Henker” is against populist-fascist movements, “Nur ein Mensch” is anti-nationalist, “Ein Kleines bisschen Glück” is anti-capitalist.
They are leftists through and through. Individually you could try and get them wrong, but together it’s clear as day to me.
I mean lyrics like:
People follow the charlatan
Declare others lower than themselves
Eat from the hand
And call that resistance
or
We face each other
In the name of the nation
Brothers kill brothers
War is perversion
Blood doesn’t follow a flag
Blood has only one colour
You are exactly like me…
Just like me
or even
Wrath is just fear dressed in black
It is the curse of our times
and
We humans out here, how did we want to be?
Who makes our dreams, who plants them in us?
Who lives our life while we merely lead it?
Entangled in the duties that bind us tight
People must function in the depths of debt
Because what was hard fought for, they don’t want to lose again
Because sweat, blood and tears, they were otherwise for nothing
But what we own also owns us
People look for a little bit of happiness
But that consumes them piece by piece
Because what you give never comes back
And that slowly sucks us dry
