Beatsteaks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mit wem bin ich zusammen, oder bin ich allein?
Die Frage nach dem Sinn - hör auf damit!
Die Sache ist so alt und Du kaust damit!
Doch mal im Ernst überlegst Du nie
Wie werd ich aussehn, werd ich'n Spießervieh?
Ich glaube, Nein! Und wenn es so wäre?
Dann hast Du was verpeilt in Deiner eigenen Sphäre
Fragen, die sich jeder stellt
Was mach ich heut, was morgen zählt?
Fragen, um die sich alles dreht
Denn wer weiß schon wie's weiter geht
Es bringt nichts sie zu hinterfragen
Denn niemand kann Dir wirklich sagen
Wo führt es hin, wann hört es auf
Wie nimmt das Schicksal seinen Lauf?
Wo führt es hin, wann hört es auf
Wie nimmt das Schicksal seinen Lauf?
21 Jahre alt und schon so planlos
Ja, steh ich denn im Wald?
Ohne Ziel ist das auch so 'n Ding Mann
Ja, ja ich weiß, es liegt alles bei mir Mann
Es ist trotzdem ein Scheiß Gefühl, nicht zu wissen
Lohnt sich überhaupt diese Müh'
Ja Alter! So ist das Leben eben
Die Ungewissheit wird es immer geben!
Fragen, die sich jeder stellt
Was mach ich heut, was morgen zählt?
Fragen, um die sich alles dreht
Denn wer weiß schon wie's weitergeht
Es bringt nichts zu hinterfragen
Denn niemand kann Dir wirklich sagen
Wo führt es hin, wann hört es auf
Wie nimmt das Schicksal seinen Lauf?
Wo führt es hin, wann hört es auf
Wie nimmt das Schicksal seinen Lauf?
Wo führt es hin, wann hört es auf
Wie nimmt das Schicksal seinen Lauf?
Wo führt es hin, wann hört es auf
Wie nimmt das Schicksal seinen Lauf?
The song "Fragen" by Beatsteaks is about the universal questions we all ask ourselves at some point in our lives. The lyrics express the uncertainty and confusion of not knowing what the future holds or whether we are on the right path. The first verse reflects on the questions that often occupy our minds such as the question of who we are with, or if we are alone, and the question of the meaning of life. The singer dismisses the question of the meaning of life, saying that it's an old question and that we can't do much with it. However, he still wonders about his own future, such as how he would look like in the future, and whether he would become a conformist.
In the second verse, the singer reflects on his current situation in life. He feels lost and without any direction, which makes him feel like he is in a forest without a clue where to go. He acknowledges that he is responsible for his own life, yet he still feels uncertain and scared about the future. The chorus reinforces this feeling of uncertainty, emphasizing that nobody knows what the future holds, and that asking these questions may not lead to any answers.
Overall, the song highlights the fact that we all have questions about life and the future, but ultimately, we can't do much with these questions. We must face the uncertainty and find our own path in life.
