Wunderbar
Deine Lakaien Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to reach for you
First time I missed you
Made a turn and lost my shoe
Oh my dear street light
You keep me warm at night
My wonder wonder wonder wonder shining star
Have you ever asked me
Where I am coming from
Have I ever told you
Why I am so alone
Oh my compassionate light
Talk to me when I am tight
My wonder wonder wonder wonder shining star
Wunderbar wonder shining star
Remember our first acquaintance
At your iron post
Sat in my car when
All at once my life got lost
I keep a firm hold on you
Until the morning blue
My wonder wonder wonder wonder shining star
Wunderbar wonder shining star
Glittering snowflakes
Under your golden glow
Wrap myself up well
In my woolen coat
I am lying at your feet
Sweet guardian over my sleep
My wonder wonder wonder wonder shining star
Wunderbar wonder shining star
The lyrics to Deine Lakaien's song "Wunderbar" describe a person who is stumbling and crawling, trying to reach someone. They mention missing this person for the first time, losing their shoe, and feeling alone. Throughout the song, the singer addresses a street light as their "wonder shining star" and "compassionate light," thanking it for helping them through the night and talking to them when they're feeling down.
The singer also reflects on their first meeting with this light - they were sitting in their car when they suddenly felt lost, and the light became a sort of anchor for them. They also mention laying down to sleep under the light's golden glow, feeling comforted and protected.

Wunderbar, wie man eine Straßenlampe besingen kann. Ich liebe die Lakaien, Live, Laut zum Tanzen oder in Ruhe zuhause. Seit 30 Jahren verzaubern mich Alexanders Stimme und Ernsts Experimente.
