Living Hell
Die ƒrzte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Und auf dem Asphalt steht die Luft
Die Blumen blühen, als würden sie dafür bezahlt
Doch das lässt mich so kalt wie ihr Duft
Zu viele Frauen, zu viel Geld, viel zu viel, was mir auch viel zu gut gefällt
Mein Leben ist die Hölle, ich fühle mich so leer
Immer laut, immer bunt ist auf die Dauer nicht gesund
Ich brauch kein Haus aus purem Gold, ich hab das alles nicht gewollt
Ich brauch nur etwas Ruhe, das wär nicht schlecht
Ich will nicht müssen, was ich muss; ich hasse diesen Überfluss
Ich brauch nur etwas Ruhe, dann komm ich schon zurecht
Ich kann doch nichts dafür, dass ich ein Glückspilz bin
Und jedes Herz gewinne, Tag für Tag
Das ist der Fluch der Menschen, die zu gut aussehen
Es hört niemand hin, wenn ich was sag
Und noch ein Flirt, noch ein Kuss, nur noch einmal vögeln, dann ist wirklich Schluss
Mein Leben ist die Hölle, wo ist der Notausgang?
Zu viel Sex, zu wenig Schlaf, wofür werde ich denn nur bestraft?
Mein Leben ist die Hölle, schon viel zu lang
Ich brauch kein Haus aus purem Gold, ich hab das alles nie gewollt
Ich brauch nur etwas Ruhe und etwas Zeit
Das Leben ist zum Lachen da, drum nehme ich Psychopharmaka
Ich brauch nur etwas Ruhe und Einsamkeit
In jeder zweiten Zeitschrift steht, wie gut es jedem Menschen geht
Der immer alles haben kann
Die Wahrheit ist, ich glaub nicht mehr daran
The song "Living Hell" by Die Ärzte addresses the idea of how having too much of everything can lead to an unsatisfied and unfulfilling life. The first verse talks about how the sun is shining like a Van Gogh painting, and the air is standing still on the asphalt, but the beauty and the smells of the flowers no longer affect the singer. The chorus uses the phrase "Mein Leben ist die Hölle" (My life is a living hell) to emphasize how overwhelming and overstimulating the life of the singer has become. They have too many women, too much money, and too much of anything good that would sustain a happy, full life. The verse continues to explain how there is no need for a house made out of pure gold or the constant chaos, all they wish for is some peace and quiet, some time to relax and not have to worry about anything.
The second verse goes on to explain the predicament the singer finds themself in. They cannot help it that they are lucky, and that they have the world handed to them on a silver platter. However, it is a curse, as the people around them only see the good looks and not the struggles they face. The chorus repeats the idea that their life is hell; they have too much sex and not enough sleep, which feels like a punishment. The need for peace and quiet is repeated, and their solution is to take medications to alleviate the pressure.
This song highlights the idea that everything in excess can eventually lead to a meaningless and unfulfilling life. It is not about having the material things that create happiness, but rather the moments that bring harmony and peace. The repetitive idea of "Mein Leben ist die Hölle" emphasizes the importance of recognizing the good from the bad and the need for balance in life.

Living Hell is a story about my childhood. It’s a story about how I struggled growing up inside a real-life living hell in a tiny room in the Philippines. My whole life, I’ve been trying to escape my childhood trauma, my living hell, and no matter how much therapy I do, no matter how much medicine I take, and no matter how far I try to run away…it always comes back to haunt me. The music video is inspired by my childhood room. My room was yellow and had a lock on the outside. Yellow because it was a color I was forced to like growing up. It was my parents way of letting me know that they have the power in the house. And a lock on the outside because my parents wanted to make sure that I didn’t escape when I was in there. It was really hard for me to relive this while shooting the music video. I really want to talk to you more about it when I’m ready. Sorry for the essay the reason I’m writing this because I want all of you who are reading this and all of you who have supported me along this journey to understand that I love you more than you know. You guys are my escape. You guys are why I wake up everyday. You guys are the reason that I’m able to break free from this mess and in my darkest times, understand that things are going to be okay. I truly can’t thank you enough and I want you to know that I’m here for you the same way that you’re here for me. To anyone who is also going through their own living hell, you will escape and I'll be right there by your side. This one's for you💛

@vinalchaudhary8342
Damn, as a survivor of childhood trauma this song made me see Bella in a different light. She really doesn't deserve the hate she receives
