still
Acht Lyrics

The lyrics to Acht's song "Still" highlight the singer's decision to leave their previous life and start anew. They express the desire to live a fulfilling life, one without fear and hesitation. The first stanza, "Gelockt vom anderen Leben, bin ich einfach gegangen. Hab aufgehцrt zu kдmpfen, hab von vorne angefangen," suggests that the singer was drawn to a different life than the one they were living, and they made the decision to leave and start fresh. They stopped fighting against their current circumstances and began again from scratch.

The second stanza, "EЯ die sьЯesten frьchte, bau mir ein neues Haus. Schrei laut was ich mцchte, hab meine Farben getauscht," highlights the singer's newfound freedom. They are enjoying the fruits of life and building a new, happy home for themselves. They proudly proclaim what they want and have switched up their old ways for something new and exciting.

The chorus, "Warum ist es so still? Ich weiЯ, dass ich noch will. Lebenslang im Paradies, wenn alle bleiben um zu leiden. Und jeder sein sterben gebieЯt. Warum ist es so still?" reflects on the singer's confusion as to why their newfound contentment feels quiet and subdued. They recognize that they have an opportunity to live in paradise and escape the cycles of pain and suffering that others seem to accept, yet they are still searching for something more.

The final stanza, "War es die Dummheit der anderen, eingeschteckt was nur geht. Wolte immer weicher laden, hab keine Ahnung gelebt. Hab mein Fieber gesenkt, mir Freudentrдnen besorgt. Meine Дngste verschenkt, versteckt an einem sicheren Ort," discusses the singer's past mistakes and ignorance. They may have been influenced by the foolishness of others and struggled to live their life to the fullest. But now, they have lowered their fever and found joy and peace, leaving their fears hidden away in a safe place.

Overall, "Still" is a song about self-discovery and finding contentment in life. The singer has broken away from their past and found happiness in the present. They acknowledge that sometimes life can feel quiet, and they may not understand everything, but they continue to seek fulfillment.
