Graue Wolken
Blumfeld Lyrics

Wo kommen all die grauen Wolken her?
The singer wonders about the source of the gray clouds and the gloomy atmosphere around him.

Ich schau' nach draußen auf den Tag
He gazes outside and observes the adverse weather conditions which only contribute to his sadness.

Es regnet und ich kann nicht mehr
The rain symbolizes the distress he's going through, and he can longer withstand it.

Wo ist der blaue Himmel hin?
He can't find traces of hope or positivity, and wonders where the bright sky has gone.

Ich weiß nicht, warum ich lebe
He's unsure about his purpose in life and the reason behind his existence.

Nur, dass ich am Leben bin
Despite his uncertainty, he knows for sure that he's alive and breathing.

Dann steh' ich auf und gehe unter Menschen
To take his mind off his troubles, he goes out and mingles with other people.

Und frage mich, was kann ich tun?
He contemplates ways to make a meaningful impact on society or the people around him.

Ich will sie hassen
Although he wants to resent the people around him for their ignorance and selfishness, he struggles to do so.

Und kann's nicht lassen
He can't help but see a part of himself in the people he wants to hate.

In allem, was sie ausmacht, auch ein Stück von mir zu sehen
He acknowledges that everyone has flaws and weaknesses and sees himself in those imperfections.

Die ganze Welt dreht sich im Kreis
He's disillusioned with the monotony and repetitiveness of life, where everything seems to be going in circles.

Ich seh' mich um und will nicht mehr
He looks around at the world and feels overwhelmed and ready to give up.

Wo ist die rote Sonne hin?
He wonders where the passion and vitality has gone, symbolized by the absence of the red sun.

Arbeit, Fernsehen, Schlafengehen
He feels trapped in the unfulfilling and mundane routine of work, watching television, and sleeping.

So macht das Leben keinen Sinn
He believes that this kind of life isn't worth living without any purpose or excitement.

Ich kann's nicht fassen
He's in disbelief at the people's self-centeredness and inability to see beyond their own lives.

Sie können's nicht lassen
He realizes that all they do is focus on themselves and their lives, unable to act selflessly for others.

Nur ihre eignen Leben, immer nur sich selbst zu sehen
He sees the people around him as only caring about their own lives and ignoring the world's problems.

Ich weiß nicht woher, weiß nicht wohin
He's unsure of his origin and destination, with no clear path or direction in his life.

Ich weiß nicht, warum ich lebe
He's still searching for his purpose and why he's here, lost in the surrounding darkness.

Nur, dass ich am Leben bin zurück
Despite all the uncertainties, he's still grateful to be alive and have a chance to find his way.
