Frans Zimmer was raised in Berlin Kreuzberg district, where he lives and works today. After high school, Zimmer wanted to study art, but was not admitted to university. In the following years, he worked various odd jobs, including work as a confectioner in a Berlin café. In 2010, he began to DJ in Berlin nightclubs and bars. Inspired by artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, he took the alias "Hundert Farben" (Hundred Colors), which he later changed to his current stage name "Alle Farben". On May 9, 2012, he achieved a national breakthrough, playing for 30,000 people at the former Tempelhof Airport in Berlin. Since then, Zimmer has constantly been on the go, DJing almost every weekend throughout Germany and all of Europe. He has also played several shows in Tel Aviv. Zimmer is signed to the Berlin label Kallias.
In September 2013, Zimmer announced via Facebook that he had begun work on his debut album. In an interview with Berlin newspaper "Taz" on January 15, 2014, he stated the album will be finished in May 2014.
Get High
Alle Farben Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause i can't wait
Gonna take you away
To a better place
And heaven can wait
'Cause it's right here
A light a line
And oh
I'm high up and higher
And oh
Let's take it on water
And oh
It's hitting me harder
And oh
I just want to get high
Forget what you look like
Forget what this Feels like
Forget about life
Forget about life
The lyrics to Alle Farben's song Get High seem to be centered around the idea of escaping reality through drugs and alcohol. The opening lines, "Pass me a drink / 'Cause I can't wait / Gonna take you away / To a better place," suggest a desire to escape from whatever unpleasant feelings or situations the singer is currently experiencing. The repetition of the phrase "And oh" throughout the chorus conveys a sense of euphoria as the drugs take effect, with the lyrics "I'm high up and higher / Let's take it on water / It's hitting me harder" painting a picture of an intense and overwhelming experience.
The final lines, "I just want to get high / Forget what you look like / Forget what this feels like / Forget about life / Forget about life," speak to a total desire to let go of reality and immerse oneself in the experience of being high. This could be seen as a form of escapism or a coping mechanism for dealing with difficult emotions, but the song doesn't delve too deeply into the singer's motivations. Overall, the lyrics suggest a desire for a temporary escape from reality and an intense experience of being high.

Pass me a drink
Requesting for an alcoholic beverage to be served
'Cause i can't wait
Impatience and eagerness to consume the drink
Gonna take you away
Will provide an enjoyable experience
To a better place
To an environment that is more pleasant
And heaven can wait
Not in a hurry to experience heaven in the afterlife because it can be experienced in the present moment
'Cause it's right here
Heaven is already present
A light a line
Lighting up a cigarette
It felt so near
Sensation of relief and relaxation from smoking
And oh
I'm high up and higher
And oh
Let's take it on water
And oh
It's hitting me harder
And oh

So underrated this is a masterpiece
@0ze_ze0
I was listened in 2015 first time and after 8 years suddenly remembered listening to this song before. I spend all day to find this song. Absolutely it was worth it.
@wapemusic5475
Genießt es solange es noch nicht im Radio totgespielt wird! :)
@MMOChampDE
WAPE Music Tja, es ist genau dafür produziert worden. Hier steht die Kohle im Vordergrund. "Der Künstler hat sich verändert bla bla..." Das ist alles nur dumme Ausrede. Schon allein die Stimme, so auswechselbar und nichtsagend, hauptsache das dümme Radiovolk bekommt was grad in ist und sich gut verkaufen lässt ;)
@wapemusic5475
MMOChampDE Da muss ich dir wiedersprechen. Ich würde mich nicht zum "dummen Radiovolk" zählen, dennoch gefällt mir die Musik die er macht immer noch genauso gut wie am Anfang (kannte ihn schon lange vor "She Moves"). Klar spielt Geld auch eine Rolle, wäre das aber die Motivation von Frans, würde er viel mehr Songs dieser Art produzieren und vermarkten.

+WAPE Music Das ist immer traurig, dass die Sender immer nur ein paar Lieder ständig wieder und wieder spielen und sie sich somit abnutzen. Wie bei "die immer lacht" gerade passiert.
@Jack-ny7kb
This song deserves more credit !
