Fünf
Brings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ävver keiner Weiß wohin.
Fünnef Koffer voller Dräum
die allt lang verjesse sin.
Der ene denkt nie
Der zweite zu vell
Die andren zwei
sin mit 'm Schicksal dabei.
Für immer dabei
Wenn du küst
dann komm janz
oder bliev do wo de bis.
Wenn du küst
dann komm janz
oder bliev do wo de bis.
Mir sin loss, jetrocke
un der Himmel wor et Ziel.
Doch die Welt sieht anders us
zuwinnich Wasser ungerm Kiel.
Denn Fünnef Hätze schlage nie synchron
Un singe uch net immer im selbe Ton.
Doch se schlage noch
und das is schon vill.
Dat is was ich will.
Wenn du küst
dann komm janz
oder bliev do wo de bis.
Wenn du küst
dann komm janz
oder bliev do wo de bis.
Jeder Rähn wed en Sinnflut sin.
Jeder Wind wed zum Sturm.
Sach jetzt nit, du häs et nit jewoß.
Du wes jenau, dat es stuß.
Wenn du küst
dann komm janz
oder bliev do wo de bis.
Wenn du küst
dann komm janz
oder bliev do wo de bis.
Wenn du küst
dann komm janz
oder bliev do wo de bis.
Wenn du küst
dann komm janz
oder bliev do wo de bis.
Wenn du küst
dann komm janz, jung
oder bliev do wo de bis.
Wenn du küst
dann komm janz
oder bliev do wo de bis.
Wenn du küst.
The song "Fünf" by Brings tells a story about five individuals who each have their own dreams and goals, but are lost and unsure of where to go. These five people are represented symbolically by five heads in underwear, signifying their vulnerability and uncertainty. They each have five suitcases filled with their dreams, but these dreams have been forgotten and set aside. The first person never thinks about their future, the second person has too many plans, and the third person has their hands in everything but is unfocused. The other two people are with fate, always present and involved.
Despite their differences and the fact that their hearts beat out of sync, they still each have a beating heart and a desire to find their place in the world. The lyrics talk about how the world can be unpredictable, but ultimately it is up to each individual to take action and either stay where they are or make a move towards their dreams. The chorus repeats the phrase "If you come, then come completely or stay where you are" (Wenn du küst, dann komm janz oder bliev do wo de bis), emphasizing the importance of committing to one's decisions and actions.
Overall, "Fünf" is a reflective and introspective song about the struggle to find one's place in the world and the importance of taking action.
