Dritte Wahl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Immer heller immer schneller lauter stärker aktueller
Mutiger als je zuvor dreister frecher voll Humor
Den höchsten Gipfel längst genommen
Ihr habt's bemerkt, wir sind im Kommen
Wir lassen uns nichts vorenthalten
Die Zeit der Angst vor Polizei
Vorm Terrorstaat vorm Militär
Wir haben keine Ehrfurcht mehr
Wir sind erwacht aus tiefem Schlaf
Es war 'ne ziemlich lange Nacht
Jetzt sind wir munter aufgepasst
Wir lassen uns nichts vorenthalten
The lyrics of Dritte Wahl's song "Wir lassen uns nichts vorenthalten" talk about progress and self-determination. The words "Weiter weiter immer weiter höher auf der Leiter" imply the idea of always pushing forward and upwards. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the struggle to achieve one's goals, and not letting any obstacle get in the way. The song also talks about courage and taking risks, as evidenced by the lines "Mutiger als je zuvor dreister frecher voll Humor". These lyrics suggest that in order to reach new heights, one must be willing to step outside of their comfort zone and take bold actions.
The second verse takes a more political tone, talking about a time of oppression and fear from the government and military. However, the lyrics emphasize that this time is over, and that people are no longer afraid to speak out and demand their rights. The lyrics "Wir haben keine Ehrfurcht mehr" suggest that people have gained a newfound confidence in their strength and ability to effect change. The final line, "Wir lassen uns nichts vorenthalten", encapsulates the overall message of the song: that people will not allow themselves to be held back or denied their rights.
