Es ist
Astra Kid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
es ist verfahren
niemand weiß
wer niemand ist
keiner kann
doch alle wollen
wer neimand ist
kann alles können
Es kann
Es wird
Es kann, Es ist vorbei
Liebe ist
Menschen essen
etwas kann
Menschen können
etwas wird
Menschen werden
Menschen können und werden lernen
Refrain:
Es kann
es wird
es kann
es ist vorbei
The lyrics to Astra Kid's song "Es ist" are quite abstract and open to interpretation. The first verse describes something that is driving or moving, but it is lost or off course. The singer suggests that nobody knows who "nobody" is, and that everyone wants to be this "nobody" because it means they have the ability to do anything. This concept is somewhat reminiscent of the saying, "with great power comes great responsibility."
The chorus is repeated several times throughout the song, indicating that it is a sort of mantra or affirmation. It seems to suggest that something (possibly love) is both capable and inevitable, but that it is also coming to an end. The second verse is more focused on humans and their abilities. The singer suggests that people eat each other (perhaps metaphorically) and that something has the power to teach them and help them grow.
Overall, the song seems to be about power and potential, but also about the inevitability of change and endings. It may also touch on human nature and our tendencies towards both creation and destruction.
