Avalanche
Andreas Kümmert Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was going through the motion
Having the time of my life
Couldn't see I was broken
Cause I turned a blind eye
My feelings left unspoken
On the day you said goodbye

We all doubt, in the path that we choose

Not in what, we were chosen to do
And even if the avalanche
Tries to bring me down
Even if the mountain I have scaled
Crumbles to the ground
I'd find my way to you

I had fallen when you found me
But now I'm the cross you had to bare
You brought me to safety
And you cared for me there
And even if the avalanche
Tries to bring me down
Even if the mountain I have scaled
Crumbles to the ground
I'd find my way to you

But now I'm strong enough to roam free
But there's a place where I belong
There's voice I hear that calls me
And it's been too long
And even if the avalanche
Tries to bring me down
Even if the mountain I have scaled
Crumbles to the ground

Even if the avalanche
Tries to bring me down
Even if the mountain I have scaled
Crumbles to the ground
I'd find my way

Yes I'd find my way
I'd find my way to you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Andreas Kümmert's Avalanche talk about how the love and care of a person can help someone no matter what happens in their life. The singer talks about how he was going through life, having the time of his life, but he couldn't see that he was broken. He couldn't express his feelings, which made him even more broken, and one day when his lover said goodbye, he came to realize how broken he was.

The chorus talks about how the singer is ready to face any obstacle that comes his way. He uses the metaphor of an avalanche which may try to bring him down but he would still find his way to his lover, even if the mountain he has scaled crumbles to the ground. The lyrics also talk about how the lover cared for him and brought him to safety when he had fallen. The singer is now strong enough to roam free, but he knows where he belongs, and the voice of his lover calls him, which he can't ignore.

The song conveys the message that sometimes we are not aware of our feelings, and often, it takes someone else to make us realize our own emotions. It emphasizes the fact that love and care can help us overcome the most difficult situations in our lives. It shows that no matter what happens, we can always find our way to our loved ones.

Line by Line Meaning

I was going through the motion
I was living my life without much thought or emotion

Having the time of my life
I thought I was happy with the way things were going

Couldn't see I was broken
I was too blinded by my own unawareness to realize how hurt I was

Cause I turned a blind eye
I ignored the signs that indicated I was broken

My feelings left unspoken
I failed to express how I truly felt about things

On the day you said goodbye
I only recognized how broken I was when you left me

We all doubt, in the path that we choose
We all experience uncertainty and fear of the unknown in our life choices

Not in what, we were chosen to do
However, we believe in our abilities to do what we were meant to do

And even if the avalanche
No matter how difficult the situation may become

Tries to bring me down
Tries to cause me to fail or give up

Even if the mountain I have scaled
Even if I've accomplished something great

Crumbles to the ground
Even if it all falls apart unexpectedly

I'd find my way to you
I will find my way back to what matters the most - love

I had fallen when you found me
I was at my lowest point when you came into my life

But now I'm the cross you had to bare
But now I'm the burden that you have to carry

You brought me to safety
You saved me from my own pain and despair

And you cared for me there
You supported me every step of the way

But now I'm strong enough to roam free
But now, I can stand on my own and make my own choices

But there's a place where I belong
But there is still a place where I feel truly happy and fulfilled

There's voice I hear that calls me
There is something inside me that drives me towards that place

And it's been too long
It's been too long since I felt that kind of happiness

I'd find my way
I will always find a way through difficult times

Yes I'd find my way
I have confidence in myself and my ability to overcome challenges

I'd find my way to you
I will always find my way back to love and happiness
