Unbehagen
Wir Leben Immer... noch
wir wandern bloss und nackt in die unendlichkeit
wir schweben auf dem pfade in die ewigkeit
wir glauben was wir wissen und wir fuerchten uns
wohl weil wir sterben muessen dad beaengstigt uns
wir sind die lebenden
jeder neue tag kann gut und boese sein
wir stellen unsre vibrationen selber ein
und wenn wir morgens frueh an unser ende denken
dann kann uns dieses wissen durch die tagzeit lenken
und uns das sterben goennen
wir vegetieren und wir rasen durch die lebenszeit
wir verblassen und verpassen die gelegenheit
wir haben keine zeit, wir tun uns selber leid
wir vegetieren und wir rasen durch die lebenszeit
wir verstecken unsre aengste in der zwischenzeit
wir zittern immer noch vor der vergangenheit
wir entwickeln uns nicht weiter, weil erwachsensein
so wollen wir nicht sein
oh nein das muss nich sein
The lyrics to the song Fußball ist unser Leben by Brings are actually not included in the provided text. The lyrics given seem to belong to a different song called Unbehagen by Nina Hagen. Therefore, I will provide an analysis of the lyrics given.
The first verse suggests a search for meaning in life that leads nowhere. The idea of wandering naked towards eternity is a metaphor for the feeling of aimlessness and confusion. The line "we believe what we know and we are afraid" captures the paradox of human knowledge and its limitations. The fact that we know we will die is what scares us.
The second verse highlights the power of our mind in shaping our experiences. Our thoughts and emotions determine the quality of our day, and the knowledge of our own mortality can serve as a guiding force. The last line of the verse, "and let ourselves die," suggests a sense of acceptance towards the inevitability of death.
The last verse is an expression of frustration about the human condition. We are caught between the desire to live fully and the fear of not having enough time. The line "we hide our fears in the meantime" implies that we avoid facing our problems and limit our growth as individuals. The rejection of adulthood at the end of the verse indicates a desire to escape the pressures and responsibilities of life.
Overall, the lyrics evoke a sense of existential angst and a search for purpose amidst the transience of life.
