Dritte Wahl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Krieg ich kein Auge zu
Und der Grund dafür bist du
Dritte Wahl's song "Tage und Nächte" talks about a person who is unable to sleep for days and nights because of someone they are deeply in love with. The song's narrator is unable to get any rest, and it's because the person they love is always on their mind. The lyrics capture the torment and restlessness that can come with unrequited love, as the person in question is seemingly unattainable. The powerful emotions that come with love are depicted through the repetitive nature of the chorus, emphasizing the depth of the singer's feelings.
The song is a combination of punk rock and alternative rock, and it was released on Dritte Wahl's 2002 album "Die Reise." The band is known for their socially-conscious lyrics, tackling issues such as inequality, politics, and disillusionment, and this song is no exception. They experiment with different sounds in their music to reflect the themes they address, and the overall effect is visceral and engaging.
