Here, he invites us to lean back for a while and close our eyes. Wounds are being bandaged, scars counted. - Breathe - Meanwhile, his music is wandering. Timelessly it roams about in genres: folk and electro are walking hand in hand, classical music is sketching the distant horizon - a faint memory of long gone eras - hook lines of pop music are lying at the wayside, waiting to be touched with the slightest irony.

Konstantin has assembled his strongest pieces of three years of work on one album: here they shine with the melancholy and the gloom of those, who have gained peace and hope as they have left the eternal dance around a golden calf named progress: Take this hand now / there is no time to waste / the first gets the land / where we need to build our home / Quiet people build the hardest gold. .
The art of Konstantin concentrates in his ability to elude classification, to forge Get Well Soon anew with every single song. Glinting through are memories of sad ballads of Leonard Cohen; broken groans of Tom Waits; the laissez faire of the lost of Nick Cave, and the weightlessness of Thom Yorke.

On stage, Get Well Soon develops into an even more intensive experience: up to eight musicians are playing (guitar, bass, drums, piano, trumpets, banjo, violin..) and the intimacy of the album gains a terrific momentum.Those who come to a concert with heavy hearts and oppressed souls, go home with regained strength and confidence. It is as if another house has fallen onto the bad Witch of the East: Wake up, sleepy head! All your fear has left! Konstantin's music has seen a lot of life, his songs are young but wise - carried along by generations, to finally arrive in the eye of the storm: It's not a secret that I'm king without a land / I'm a captain without sea / So let me pretend / To find my home again. All we've got is ourselves - and one another. We're home. Get Well Soon

Get Well Soon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up, my dear, wake up, we've found a new industry
Investments will pay off the products, the truth
People will pay for the answers that we deliver
While their neighbour's lawn's greener and the world's in a mess

Baby, we're heading for profit
We'll have no worries no more
We'll be the first of a move, and

We're reaching out for the stars, and
We'll be told the people are for you

Now that we're rich and we own half of Asia
We'll use our money to change the world

Baby, we'll reinvent monarchy
We will rule the whole world
You will be king, and you'll be queen
Your profits are well, then
We'll be told the people are for you

When we're alone we are still the same
That we used to be when we were young
And people will know that we've tricked them all

And that we still hide the truth under our bed
In our castle

Overall Meaning

The song "People Magazine Front Cover" by Get Well Soon is a commentary on the superficiality and greed present in modern society. The lyrics describe a couple who have found a way to profit off of people's desire for answers and their obsession with comparison, as "their neighbor's lawn's greener and the world's a mess". They dream of being in control, ruling over the world and reinventing monarchy, all while hiding the truth under their bed.

The song seems to be criticizing the idea of the American Dream and the belief that success and wealth can bring happiness and the ability to change the world. The lyrics suggest that this pursuit of profit and power ultimately leads to a lack of authenticity and a disregard for the truth.

The line "And people will know that we've tricked them all" suggests a sense of guilt or shame on the part of the couple, acknowledging that their success is built on deception. The final line "In our castle" reinforces the idea of a privileged class that is disconnected from reality.

Overall, "People Magazine Front Cover" is a poignant critique of modern society's obsession with wealth, power, and consumer culture.
