Lebenslauf
200 Sachen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kann nicht schlafn,
Zähl schon Schafe.
Nummer 5000,
Die Million in Sicht.
Mach den Wecker aus,
Muss ja doch gleich raus.
Oder scheiß ich drauf,
Warum denn nicht?

Der neue Tag hat die Nacht abgelöst.
Schon ist der Schreibtisch voll.
Fühl mich wie ausgepresst.
Hab ein Burnout auf der Netzhaut.
Mach den Computer aus,
Ich will nicht mehr.

Die Tür geht auf, ich renn grade aus.
Hab kein Ziel vor mir, doch der Plan geht auf.
Die Tür geht auf und ich renne raus,
Aus meinem Lebenslauf, mich hält nichts mehr auf.

Und so sitze ich hier mit Engelchen und Teufelchen.
Der eine fragt nach Lebenssinn der andre ist da Kohle drin?
Zeit ohne Geld oder Geld ohne Zeit?
Bitte wählen Sie jetzt das Model das sie gefragt.
Es hat kein Zweck ich muss hier weg.
Und dieser Augenblick ist perfekt.

Die Tür geht auf, ich renn grade aus.
Hab kein Ziel vor mir, doch der Plan geht auf.
Die Tür geht auf und ich renne raus,
Aus meinem Lebenslauf, mich hält nichts mehr auf.

Hinterm Horizont, kommt ein zweiter.
Und so lang es geht, renn ich weiter.

Schlag die Augen auf, schau zum Fenster raus.
Alles sieht so gleich und doch ganz anders aus.
Weil ich ab heute ohne Kommando lauf.
Ich renn grade aus.
Hab kein Ziel vor mir, doch der Plan geht auf.
Die Tür geht auf und ich renne raus,
Aus meinem Lebenslauf, mich hält nichts mehr auf.

Die Tür geht auf, ich renn grade aus.
Hab kein Ziel vor mir, doch der Plan geht auf.

Die Tür geht auf und ich renne raus,
Aus meinem Lebenslauf, mich hält nichts mehr

Overall Meaning

auf.

The lyrics of "Lebenslauf" by 200 Sachen convey a sense of frustration with monotony and routine in life, and the desire to break free from it. The singer is unable to sleep and finds themselves counting sheep to no avail, as they contemplate the endless repetition of their life. They go on to describe the exhaustion and burnout they feel from the daily grind of work, represented by a full desk and a computer screen. At this breaking point, the singer decides to make a change, and runs out of their life with no clear destination in mind. They are torn between the conflicting desires of finding meaning and purpose in life and simply having financial stability, represented by the angel and devil characters. Ultimately, the singer chooses to embrace uncertainty and the freedom of running without a set plan, knowing that there is always another horizon on the horizon.

The song highlights the struggle of feeling trapped in a life that feels predictable and unfulfilling, and the courage it takes to break free and embrace change. The lyrics carry a universal message that can resonate with anyone who has felt stuck in a rut, and encourages the listener to take risks and pursue their dreams.

looks like an awsome kit . ive built the dauntless 1/18 from Merit and really enjoyed the build and kit, had no fitting issues and the instructions were very clear

terrywest111

Looking forward to watching you build this kit! I've always loved this particular version of the Enterprise. The CV-6 has a lot of history behind her. Very distinguished and gallant vessel!

Real nice kit Boyd, iconic carrier, I agree, a real shame that it was scrapped with the history behind it.

Rev. Raymond Rodriguez

Amazing! Would you please set them side by side the cv 6 and tos? Good job on your wwII history!

Reported sunk by the Japanese several times, the Gray Ghost served her country well. She was the recipient of 20 battle stars, the most of any other ship. Damn shame she was unceremoniously broken up. Looking forward to the build

Question: As someone who can’t boil water, take care of a plant or build models, are there any creative types that do build/sell completed kits?

I like that this kit is in the same scale as your Polar Lights 1/350 scale Starship USS Enterprise NCC-1701 and the Refit. When you finish it, could you put it next to the other kits to see them together? Thanks, Boyd.

Ernest Galvan

Yes... I have a slew of “ships” in 1/350 scale.. ocean-going ships, real space ships, sci-fi ships, conjectural ships, airships...

Star-Trek, Star Wars, Lost in Space, Thunderbirds, NASA, US Navy, etc.

There was very little of the CV-6 Enterprise preserved.
The largest portion of the hull that was saved is the ship's nameplate which is in a baseball field in New Jersey. That section weighs several tons!
There's an anchor that's preserved besides a dedication plaque in the Washington, DC area.
Other preserved bits (that were on CVN-65, the nuclear-powered Enterprise) were portholes used for the captain's cabins and some pipe fittings. I don't know if all the memorabilia transferred to CVN-65 has been removed yet. You would think so but the Navy gives highest priority to in-service vessels. With all the headaches disposal of CVN-65 is causing for the US Navy, I'm sure the name "Enterprise" is not one of the Navy's budget office likes hearing!
Other than that, the last bits preserved from CV-6 were mainly planking from the ship's flight deck that were removed and given to members of its crew. At least one plank is used as the base for a model of CV-6.
There were plans to preserve the tripod mast of CV-6 but they never went through and that was scrapped. They did save the ship's bell and it's at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD.
There's a permanent exhibit for the CV-6 Enterprise at the Naval Aviation Museum in Pensacola, FL from what I've heard. The home of one of the Enterprise's captains was also saved.
The shipwrecks of both Enterprise's sisters, CV-5 Yorktown and CV-8 Lexingon, have both been discovered in the last 25 years. They're largely intact and well out of the way of the scavengers who are destroying a lot of World War II wrecksites throughout Asia. They're 3 miles deep and not easy sites to salvage for scrap like has happened to other wrecks like the Prince of Wales which have been devastated by scavengers.

AvengerII

P.S. -- They re-equipped Enterprise with Hellcat (F6F) fighters after they became available. F4F Wildcats stayed in service on the decks of smaller, slower carriers of the escort/jeep carrier classes like the Casablanca class carriers. Those smaller ships weren't fast enough to launch and support the heavier fighters like the F6F Hellcat and F4U Corsair. The larger fleet carriers (Yorktown and Essex class) could support the heavier planes like the F6F and F4U.
The Enterprise (CV-6) never carried F4U Corsairs as part of its normal air wing but there may have been experiments with those on the ship.
NOTE: I was wrong about the Corsair. They carried night fighter versions (F4U-2(N) conversions) on CV-6 for a short while as part of Air Group 10 from 16 Jan 1944 to 15 July 1944. http://www.cv6.org/company/airgroups.htm This seems to be the only time Enterprise embarked F4U Corsair fighters.
There were later detachments of radar-equipped night fighter versions of the Hellcat in 2 later organized Enterprise air groups. The Corsair never returned its decks after that period in 1944.

Giving me ideas all the enterprises from the sail ship to the enterprise E models along my hobby shelves

Part of the line of ships named Enterprise.
1941 , Dec.7 , the Enterprise was on her way to Pearl Harbor having engine problems, "BIG E" arrived on Dec 8, 1941. Had she been there earlier, she would have been sunk. Her Nick name was " The galloping ghost of the Oahu coast", because Japanese propaganda claimed how many times she was "sunk". Some of her port holes were used on the CVN 65 Enterprise on the Captains quarters during its build. CVN 65 was launched in 1961, decommissioned in 2012. The original Enterprise was a British sloop of war captured during the Revolutionary war. Her name was spelled " Enterprize" ( how England spelled the name.) 😁😁😁😁

That is something I’ve been thinking of myself but I can’t build a model, make toast to save my life lol

Paul Cochran

I know some of the ship's parts are on display at the Pensacola's National Naval Aviation Museum. If you're ever close, I highly recommend it!

Tom Creech

This ship had such an amazing history. Excellent choice.

@Cloud Burst 117 I owned this series on blue ray. Must have watched it a hundred times. Thanks for the heads up.

There is a Trumpeter USS Enterprise CV-6 1:200 scale of this ship. The same scale as the Titanic.

Captain Obvious

@andris stonins I've seen it. Look it up again.
There is also an Arizona, Rodney, Yamato and Bismark in 200 scale.

andris stonins

Can’t find any review on YouTube on that scale

Haig Jansz

Before you paint it I suggest you look up the correct USN colours for Measure 11 that is 5S (Sea blue), and not Ocean grey at the Battle of Midway.

The Grey Ghost! IJN pilots actually reported she was sunk twice but she always made it home, got refit, and returned to kick ass!

Actually, he didn’t talk about it. But we have the reports and his Navy Cross for Midway. He, like most of that generation of American fighting men, was a bad**s.

Don't stop there. Get Tamiya's CVN-65 to go with them.😎

I just got the 1/200 version of the CV-6 Big E. Should be a fun future project.

Thomas Johnson

3y↑1

@Henry Schmitt It’s late 1942 as I’m told. The 1/350 kit is also a late 1942 fit. If you want to do the CV-6 as of Midway, I’m told you’re better off using one of the CV-5 Yorktown kits as both Yorktown and Enterprise were 99% identical during mid 1942.

Henry Schmitt

Is the 200 scale in the Battle of Midway scheme?

John Jolley

You should build the Enterprise sailing ship

Lawrence Reid

The first U.s.S. Enterprise was a British supply ship named George that cruised Lake Champlain. Benedict Arnold captured her less than a month after Lexington and Concord and renamed her Enterprise to continue operating on the lake. Eight United States Navy ships have carried the name Enterprise including CVN-65 which was one of the longest serving vessels (commissioned in 1961 and decommissioned in 2017) in USN history. There are plans for the next Gerald R. Ford class of nuclear carriers (CVN-80) to carry the name Enterprise which remains to be seen but it is the Navy's intent to carry on the legacy of the Big E.

william neuman

3y↑1

USS Enterprise (CVN-80) will be the third Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier to be built for the United States Navy. She will be the ninth United States naval vessel to bear the name, and is scheduled to be in operation by 2028. Her construction began in August 2017 with a steel-cutting ceremony.

Steven Santel

Please don't forget about the U.S.S. Wasp cv7 . Yorktown cv.5 Enterprises cv.6. Hornet cv8.

Decommissioned on February 17, 1947.

Robert Evans

Have you built the kit yet? I have the Trumpeter 1/350 kit of the Lexington (Un-built ), were you intested in the Lex CV-2?

2000spqr

you finally really done it!

Louis Guerin

I bought this model, Merit Models of course. And I didn't get the same things in the box. I didn't have that many planes and I didn't have the books. But I got all the photo-etched. Probably because I'm a fucking French . I still think it's a very nice model.

ww2warshipguy

It was finally scrapped in 1958

Randy Hall

So many models, so little time...
