Stein
GWLT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Zu viel Willen, um zu vergessen
Zu viel Schlimmes gesehen, doch zu lebendig zum Verrecken
Zu wenig Liebe, um nicht zu hassen. Zu viel Angst, um was zu retten.
Zuviel Hass, um nicht zu schlagen
Zu wenig Ruhe, um ruhig zu bleiben.
Zu viel Leid, um nicht zu leiden
Zu viel Güter, die uns haben.
Wem gehört, was nie gegeben?
Uns besitzen sie noch nicht!
Oh Nein Oh Nein
Ich hab es im Kopf, was immer noch vor mir liegt.
Das Leben, ein Weg mit dem Tod als Ziel
Die Ablenkung, die Drogen, das lernen, es ist ein Spiel
Jeder Augenblick eine Pforte in ein neues Seelenprofil.
Lass mich gehen, weil ich muss
Ich muss mehr ausprobieren
Lasst uns verlieren, damit sich keiner in Triumpf verliebt.
Lass was kreieren, was nur uns was gibt
Lass was erschaffen an dem nur uns was liegt
Oder lass den Sand schmecken im Unterschied zu feinen Speisen
Weil wir verstehen, was da drunter liegt
Stein & Eisen
The opening lines of GWLT's song "Stein" refer to the overwhelming amount of energy, willpower, and experiences that the singer possesses. They feel too alive to perish, despite having seen terrible things that would make them want to forget. The following lines speak to a sense of anger and fear that exist within the singer that make it difficult for them to love and trust others or find peace. They have possessions, but wonder who really owns them and who truly possesses power over them.
The second verse speaks to the fleeting nature of life, with death as the ultimate destination. The singer seeks to experiment, lose, and create in order to truly live. They reject the idea of triumphing over others and seek to make something that has meaning to them alone. They also mention the idea of consuming something rough like sand compared to fine food, as a way of understanding the deeper meaning behind something. The chorus, which repeats the phrase "Stein & Eisen" (Stone & Iron), ties into the themes of strength and perseverance throughout the song.
Overall, "Stein" seems to be grappling with deep existential questions and a sense of frustration and anger towards the world. Despite this, there is a will to push forward and create something meaningful in the face of adversity.
