Mauern
Agrypnie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Die Mauern die du versuchst zu erklimmen
Um Barrikaden in deinem Kopf zu entrinnen
sind Regeln und Grenzen die du bestrebt bist zu brechen
Um die Wirklichkeit für dich zu beherrschen

Du hast deine Normen und Werte dir selbst erwählt
Doch zwischen den deinen und and'ren gewaltige Täler klaffen
Die zahllosen blicke der Welt bleiben unergründet
Deinen Weg nur du allein kannst beschreiten

Grenzen stürmen - Regeln brechen
Um deine Fesseln zu lösen
Bist du fähig alles hinter dir zu lassen
So wirst du im Leben vieles ertragen

Willst du den Grenzen entrinnen
So musst du die Mauern abtragen




Leere in dir finden
Dir deine Welt neu erschaffen

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Agrypnie's "Mauern" speak to the struggle of breaking free from self-imposed limitations and societal norms in order to fully control one's reality. The walls that the person attempts to climb are symbolic of the barriers in their own mind that they must overcome to escape the barricades they have constructed for themselves. However, these rules and boundaries that they strive to break hold a powerful grip on them, dictating their reality even as they attempt to escape. The lyrics suggest that the individual has chosen their own values and norms, but they struggle to reconcile them with the expectations of others, leaving them isolated in a seemingly endless valley.


The chorus encourages the person to continue pushing the boundaries and breaking rules to release themselves from their constraints, but acknowledges that this comes with a cost as they must leave everything behind and create a new world for themselves. The song's message is ultimately one of personal agency and freedom, but also showcases the challenges and pain that come with breaking away from societal norms.
