I don't know
What you're feeling for
The lyrics of Ellen Allien's song "I Don't Know" highlight the lack of understanding and communication between two individuals. The repeated phrase of "I don't know" acknowledges the disconnect between the two and their inability to comprehend each other's thoughts, emotions, and actions. The singer is unsure of what the other person is observing, hearing, or considering. Similarly, she is not aware of what the other is experiencing or what they harbor feelings for. It reveals the sense of confusion and distance that can exist in relationships when there is a lack of understanding and emotional connection.
The song's simple, repetitive lyrics are accompanied by an electronic beat that creates a hypnotic trance-like quality. The combination of the lyrics and the beat creates a feeling of detachment and introspection. The song is reflective and provokes the listener to consider the relationships in their own lives, prompting them to contemplate the limiting factors that prevent meaningful communication.

ok so im really bad at translating stuff but i can at least write the text down for you:
wenn du mich anschaust seh ich alles
lässt mich drehen hältst mich fest
alles strahlt ins universum
ein blick ein klick

everything radiates into the universe
one moment one klick
