Grauschleier
Fehlfarben Lyrics

The song Grauschleier by Fehlfarben talks about the dull and repetitive nature of life that the singer has come to accept. The opening lines, "Ich habe das alles schon tausendmal gesehen, Ich kenne das Leben, ich bin im Kino gewesen" translates to "I've seen it all a thousand times, I know life, I've been to the cinema." The singer has become so desensitized to life that it's like watching a movie they've seen a thousand times.

Despite this feeling, the singer finds themselves drawn to someone, but they struggle to find the right words or actions to connect with this person. "Doch jedesmal, wenn ich sie seh' Weiß ich nicht wie es gehen soll, Ich finde nicht den Dreh" translates to "But every time I see her, I don't know how it's supposed to work, I can't find the right way." The singer is stuck in a loop of monotony and it's affecting their ability to connect with others.

The repeated lines "Es liegt ein Grauschleier über der Stadt, Den meine Mutter noch nicht weggewaschen hat" translates to "There's a grey haze over the city, that my mother hasn't washed away yet." The grey haze could represent the negative and monotonous feelings the singer has towards life, and the fact that their mother hasn't "washed it away" suggests that they feel like they're stuck in this feeling, unable to escape.

Overall, the song Grauschleier is a commentary on the mundane aspects of life and the struggle to break free from them. The singer is searching for a connection or a way to escape the grey haze that seems to have settled over their life.
