Explodiert
Bosse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lächeln, lächeln, lächeln, zu Hause heulen
Augenlider, mein Gesicht, Geheimnis
Reden, reden, reden gegen Wände
Und blauen Himmel trotz ungezählter Wolken
Ich sag sehr gut, obwohl's mir ewig schlecht geht
Dann bin ich explodiert (explodiert, explodiert)
Mit all den Lügenpalästen
Und ach so lustigen Festen
Dann bin ich explodiert (explodiert, explodiert)
Meilenweit tief in mir (explodiert, explodiert)
Zusammen mit tausend Masken
Und all meinen Masken
Es geht schon besser
Ich sag' ja, obwohl ich nein mein
Ich sag zu dir ich genieß mein Alleinsein
Doch es sind tausend kleine Dinge unerledigt
Ich hab' Freunde, Brüder meinen Halt verlassen
Ich steh' im blauen Himmel, trotz ungezählter Wolken
Bin nicht betrunken, trotz ungezählter Flaschen
Dann bin ich explodiert (explodiert, explodiert)
Meilenweit tief in mir (explodiert, explodiert)
Mit all den Lügenpalästen
Und ach so lustigen Festen
Dann bin ich explodiert (explodiert, explodiert)
Meilenweit tief in mir (explodiert, explodiert)
Zusammen mit tausend Masken
Und all meinen Masken
Explodiert
Dann bin ich explodiert (explodiert, explodiert)
Meilenweit tief in mir (explodiert, explodiert)
Mit all den Lügenpalästen
Und ach so lustigen Festen
Dann bin ich explodiert (explodiert, explodiert)
Meilenweit tief in mir (explodiert, explodiert)
Zusammen mit tausend Masken
Und all meinen Masken
Bin ich schon explodiert?
Explodiert, Explodiert, Explodiert
Explodiert
The song "Explodiert" by Bosse is about the struggle of keeping up appearances and suppressing emotions. The first verse talks about how we often want things but don't follow through, smile on the outside but cry on the inside, and hide our true selves behind our eyelids and secrets. We try to talk to others about our struggles, but it feels like we're talking to walls. Despite all of these difficulties, we still manage to put on a brave face and say "very good" even when we feel terrible. The chorus then talks about how all of these pent up emotions eventually led to an explosion, deep within the singer's soul. It's as if they were living in a world of lies and masks, and finally, all of that pressure became too much to bear.
The second verse follows a similar theme but acknowledges how we say "yes" when we mean "no" and pretend to enjoy being alone when we really don't. There are thousands of little things to be done, and our support system of friends and family seems to be crumbling. Despite all of that, the sky is still blue, and our heart still beats, even if we're not drunk even after drinking countless bottles. It's almost like we're trying to convince ourselves that everything is alright, even when it's not. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the explosion that's been building up inside of us. The song ends with a question, "Am I already exploded?"
