Erklär mir
Clueso Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Erklär mir, warum man manche Fragen nie stellt.
Erklär mir, warum man immer was für sich behält.
Man immer was für sich behält.

(Stell dir vor)
Komm stell dir vor,
Es gäb 'ne Antwort auf jede Frage,
Die du stellst.
(Stell dir vor)
Komm stell dir vor,
Es gäb die Antwort von allein.
Wär doch langweilig.
Wär doch langweilig.

Erzähl mir.
Erzähl mir immer, welche Frage dich grad quält.
Erzähl mir doch mal, was du sonst so zurück hältst.
Was du sonst so zurückhälst.

(Stell dir vor)
Komm stell dir vor,
Es gäb die Antwort von allein. (einfach so)
Komm stell dir vor,
Es gäb 'ne Antwort auf jede Frage,
Die du stellst.
(Stell dir vor)
Komm stell dir vor,
Es gäb die Antwort von allein.
(Wär doch langweilig)




(Wär doch langweilig)
Wär doch langweilig.

Overall Meaning

The song "Erklär mir" by Clueso talks about the tendency of people to keep certain thoughts and questions to themselves instead of sharing them with others. The lyrics ask why this happens and express a desire for more open communication. The opening lines ask why some questions are never asked and why people always hold something back. This is followed by a chorus that encourages the listener to imagine a world where there is an answer to every question, but then suggests that this would be boring.


The second verse of the song asks the listener to share their own questions and thoughts with the singer, to tell them what is really on their mind. The chorus repeats the idea that it would be dull if there was a simple answer to every question. The song seems to be a plea for more openness and vulnerability in communication, suggesting that there is richness and complexity in the human experience that would be lost if everything was straightforward and easily understood.
