For being Austria's best Live-Band at present? For steadily showing constancy for almost 6 years now? Surely not. Forcefully working on the claim to be Austria's first Rockband meeting international standards needs no excuse. Far from it! Finally someone steps up to meet the challenge! Maybe that could explain the idiosyncratic choice in christening the band "Excuse Me Moses". And aren't commandements there to be broken? Especially in a country where rules and regulations count for a lot? The lads don't give a good goddam or in other words: Excuse Me Moses.

I Wonder
Excuse Me Moses Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Building castles in the air
In the middle of nowhere
And I'm thinking of you
You caught me staring at the sun
I only tried to get it done

I wonder if you think of me on rainy days
And I wonder if you think of me in different ways

I wonder if you know that someone's counting days
And I wonder where you are

Both, a blessing and a curse
But in any case diverse
That I'm dreaming of you
Another day has just begun
So I could try to get it done

I wonder if you think of me on rainy days
And I wonder if you think of me in different ways
I wonder if you know that someone's counting days
And I wonder where you are

I wonder where you are

I wonder where you, where you are
I wonder where you, where you are
I wonder where you, where you are
I wonder where you, where you are
Where you are ... no, no

Building castles in the air ...

Line by Line Meaning

Building castles in the air
Planning and fantasizing about things that are unlikely or impossible

In the middle of nowhere
Without any specific location or direction

And I'm thinking of you
My thoughts are focused on you

You caught me staring at the sun
You noticed me looking away, trying to distract myself from thinking about you

I only tried to get it done
I was attempting to complete a task, but my mind was elsewhere

I wonder if you think of me on rainy days
I am curious if you have thoughts of me during moments of melancholy or sorrow

And I wonder if you think of me in different ways
I am curious if there are varying thoughts or levels of affection for me within your mind

I wonder if you know that someone's counting days
I am curious if you are aware of the amount of time that has passed since we last met

And I wonder where you are
I am curious about your current location

Both, a blessing and a curse
The thoughts and emotions I experience about you can be both positive and negative at different times

But in any case diverse
The emotions and thoughts about you are varied and fluctuating

That I'm dreaming of you
I am picturing and imagining you in my mind

Another day has just begun
A new day has started, and I may have another chance to interact with you or have my thoughts returned positively

So I could try to get it done
I can attempt to focus on tasks again, but thoughts of you may arise

I wonder where you are
I am still curious about your location

I wonder where you are
My curiosity about your whereabouts persists

I wonder where you, where you are
I am curious about your location and movements

I wonder where you, where you are
My curiosity remains about your coordinates

I wonder where you, where you are
I am still thinking about your location and wondering if we will cross paths again

I wonder where you, where you are
My curiosity about your location is ongoing

Where you are ... no, no
I still do not know where you are, which causes me frustration or sadness
