Strophe 1

Du schlägst die Augen auf
Hier kommt ein neuer Tag, ein neues Spiel
Du hast Dich längst noch nicht gefunden
Doch von der Welt bereits zu viel

Hast Du denn je dran geglaubt was Du tust ?

Hast Du Dich jemals schlecht gefühlt ?
Du hast die Träume der anderen ausradiert
Und dabei nicht mal was gespürt

Strophe 2

Komm und heb´ Deine Seele auf
Auch Du bist ein Mensch aus Fleisch und Blut
Siehst Du denn nicht, dass die Welt Dich braucht
Es gibt so viel für Dich zu tun

Hast Du denn je dran geglaubt, es ist gut
Nur für sich allein zu stehen ?
Wenn das so ist, dann warst Du verkehrt
Dann weißt Du nicht um was es geht

Ref.:

Eines Tages werd ich vor Dir stehen
Ich werd´ dich fragen, ob du verstehst
Um was es geht

Denn Du bist mittendrin
Und es ist viel zu spät zu gehen

Overall Meaning

The first verse of the song "Mittendrin" by Endanger portrays a sense of confusion and uncertainty as the singer awakens to "a new day, a new game" without having found their place in the world yet but having already been exposed to its harsh realities. The singer questions their actions and beliefs, wondering if they have ever truly believed in themselves and if they have ever felt remorse for destroying the dreams of others without feeling anything themselves. The second verse encourages the listener to lift their soul and acknowledge their physical and emotional being. The world needs them, and there is so much for them to accomplish. The singer questions if the listener has ever believed that it is enough to stand alone, without the support of others, and suggests they are mistaken if they believe that.

The chorus provides a sense of finality as the singer says that one day they will stand before the listener and ask them if they understand what it means to be "mittendrin," in the middle of life, and that it is too late to leave. The lyrics suggest that it is important to find one's place in the world and that standing alone is not enough. It's a call to action to get involved in the world and find purpose and meaning in life.

Overall, "Mittendrin" is a powerful message of self-reflection and taking action to make a meaningful impact in the world. It encourages the listener to find their place in the world and to be aware of their impact on others.
