Cheer Up
Die Liga der gewöhnlichen Gentlemen Lyrics

The song "Cheer Up" by Die Liga der gewöhnlichen Gentlemen is about the feeling of being stuck in a routine and wanting to break free from it. The opening lines, "Ich stehe auf und sehe Dich / Ich denke Wann reißt dieser Film?" (I stand up and see you / I think when will this movie end?) describe a sense of dissatisfaction and boredom with the current state of things. The singer feels trapped in their own life, as expressed in the line "Es ist ein seltsames Gefühl" (It's a strange feeling).

The chorus, "Einmal im Leben muss es das geben / Dass man doch kapiert / Sensationen, die sich lohnen / Was um Dich herum passiert" (Once in a lifetime, it must exist / That one understands / Sensations that are worth it / What happens around you) calls for a moment of realization, where one recognizes the importance of experiencing new and exciting things in life. The bridge then emphasizes the idea that life is too short to waste on anything that doesn't bring joy and fulfillment, whether it's playing guitar or football.

The song finishes with a series of lines that call out various cities and people, expressing a desire to explore the wider world and seek out new experiences. Overall, "Cheer Up" is a song that encourages listeners to break out of their comfort zone and embrace opportunities for excitement and growth.
