Wegweiser
[:SITD:] Lyrics

The lyrics of [:SITD:]'s song "Wegweiser" (translated as "Signpost") convey a sense of guidance and stability amidst life's uncertainties. The singer embodies different aspects of human experience, from the constellation of shining stars to the depths of despair, and offers them as waypoints for the listener's journey. The opening lines establish the singer's symbolic presence as a dozen stars arranged in a circle against a blue backdrop, an image of cosmic order and beauty. The singer claims to be the light of human warmth, a beacon of comfort and direction in times of joy and sorrow.

The singer goes on to describe a range of opposing states that they embody: the peak of one's worries and the valley of former happiness, the present and the future, progress and stagnation, beginning and ending. However, the singer points out that despite being both everywhere and nowhere, they are steadfast and reliable as a source of grounding and purpose. They offer themselves as the anchor to hold onto in times of deep emptiness, the last ferry before the storm that leads to the desired destination. The song's final lines reinforce the intimacy and distance of the singer's presence, evoking the paradoxical feeling of being simultaneously near and far.
