eleven
Christian Löffler Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were my coat
In a world to slow for the past
Will you need all the lines
My best in the world of their tunes
You were my coat
In a world to slow for the past
In a silk that no one knows
Good news show the lion
In a silk that no one knows
Good news show the lion
In a silk that no one knows
Good news show the lion
In a silk that no one knows
Good news show the lion
My best in the world of their tunes
You were my coat
In a world to slow for the past
Will you need all the lines
My best in the world of their tunes
You were my coat
In a world to slow for the past
Will you need all the lines
The lyrics of Christian Löffler's song "eleven" are rather cryptic, and open to varied interpretations. However, one possible interpretation is that the lyrics speak of a person, possibly the singer himself, who is caught up in the grip of nostalgia for the past, and who finds solace in a coat - a metaphor for someone who once provided warmth, love, and protection. The lines "My best in the world of their tunes, you were my coat" suggest that the person has found solace or comfort in music, and in particular in the music of a certain artist or band who played a significant role in their life. The phrase "world of their tunes" may refer to the world of music in general, that is able to transport the person beyond their current surroundings, including the slowness of the present.
The repeated line "In a silk that no one knows, good news show the lion" is more difficult to interpret. The words "silk" and "lion" contain a sense of opulence and magnificence, which may suggest that the person is seeking or yearning for something grand or majestic. The phrase "good news show the lion" may refer to the popular saying "good news travels fast", implying that the person is waiting for some good news to reach them, or that they themselves have a positive message to share.
Overall, the lyrics of "eleven" are evocative, yet elusive, suggesting that the song is open to various interpretations and may hold a different meaning for each listener.
