Our Utopie
Ellen Allien Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some people think
Where theres no one left to live
Someone Alone
Broken and without soul
I need a moment
To catch my breath
Cuz' only seeing you
Makes me skip my heart beat

Alone again
Scare to live in hell
I wanna live
Please let me in
Don't take away
The only thing
I feel that I
Can control
Don't leave me
Not now or ever
I'm all alone
Please let me breathe
Why are you hurting me
Let me go
Let me live
Let my soul
Break free
Take this pain
And let me be
Cuz' everytime you ask to come back
My life starts to shake
I fall again
Into the deepts of pain
Souless again
Can't breathe
Please let me be
I wanna be free
So Break me Free
Break me free
Break me free
Break me
Break me
free

End.

This are not the lyrics but they would go perfectly with the rithm. Don't steal them they are my lyrics ;)

Overall Meaning

Ellen Allien's "Our Utopie" is a hauntingly beautiful piece of music with deeply emotional and powerful lyrics. The song speaks to the feelings of loneliness, despair, and a longing for freedom. The opening lines, "Some people think, where there's no one left to live, someone alone, broken and without soul" suggests a sense of hopelessness and abandonment that some people experience, which the singer identifies with.

As the song progresses, we hear the singer asking for a moment to catch her breath and find strength to keep going. She has found someone who makes her feel alive, and she pleads with them not to take that away from her. The lyrics convey a sense of vulnerability and dependence on others, yet a deep yearning for independence and control over one's own life.

The chorus consists of the repeated phrase "break me free," which highlights the theme of breaking free from the chains of loneliness, pain, and heartbreak. The song is a powerful representation of the human desire for hope and a sense of purpose, even in the face of adversity and hardship.

Line by Line Meaning

Some people think
There are people who believe

Where theres no one left to live
In a place where no one can survive

Someone Alone
A person who is by themselves

Broken and without soul
Emotionally shattered and lacking vitality

I need a moment
I require time to myself

To catch my breath
To recover and gather strength

Cuz' only seeing you
Because the mere sight of you

Makes me skip my heart beat
Causes my heart to skip a beat

Alone again
Once again in solitude

Scare to live in hell
Afraid to exist in a state of suffering

I wanna live
I yearn for life
