Ich Nicht Verstehen
Fehlfarben Lyrics

The song "Ich Nicht Verstehen" by Fehlfarben speaks to the feeling of disconnection from the world due to a lack of understanding. The opening lines describe a hand reaching into the singer's room and life, representing the desire for connection, but also the uncertainty and fear that comes with it. The reference to "Leben in Sprachen die ich nicht verstehen kann" (life in languages I cannot understand) emphasizes the feeling of being lost in a world where everything seems unfamiliar and incomprehensible.

The second verse paints a picture of a smiling man on a wall, separate from the singer's reality. The use of the word "Vakuum" (vacuum) represents the feeling of emptiness and isolation that comes from being unable to communicate with those around you. The final lines of the verse again emphasize the disconnect through the use of "Sprachen die ich nicht verstehen kann".

The final verse speaks to the general lack of authenticity that pervades society. The reference to "Masken" (masks) suggest the false facades that people put on to hide their true selves. The line "Jeder scheint zu wollen was es nicht gibt" (everyone seems to want what doesn't exist) speaks to the common dissatisfaction and disillusionment that people experience. Finally, the line "was nicht da ist gibt es einfach nicht" (what isn't there simply doesn't exist) touches on the notion that people cannot deal with what they cannot understand or control. All of these elements come together to create a powerful commentary on the feeling of disconnection that permeates modern society.
