What "Das ist alles von der Kunstfreiheit gedeckt" means

The song explores the boundaries of free speech and political provocation through a hypothetical framework. The narrator playfully imagines writing lyrics that attack prominent right-wing figures and conspiracy theorists, challenging legal grey areas. Transitioning from hypothetical speculation to direct accusation, the artist drops the legal safeguards and boldly names real individuals, asserting his true opinions. The lyrics address the dangers of fascism, criticize state institutions and law enforcement for historical complicity, and argue that traditional dialogue often fails against extremist violence.

Also jetzt mal ganz spekulativ
So, let us look at this purely hypothetically
Angenommen, ich schriebe mal ein Lied
Suppose I were to write a song
In dessen Inhalt ich besänge, dass ich höchstpersönlich finde
Whose lyrics declared that I personally believe
Jürgen Elsässer sei Antisemit
Jürgen Elsässer is an antisemite
