What About Me
Hans-Günter Heumann Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Long ago your name a shadow in my dreams
The white brave still searching
Raining winds fall apart
I believe your heart

Tell me now what you see
Tell me what you feel
Now you're here tell me

Tell me now what you know
Never let me go
Tell me now what you see

Who cries from the hill?
The mist creeps from your eyes
Your banner will promise, let's remember the start
I believe your heart

Tell me now what you know
Never let me go
Tell me what you see

Tell me now what you see
Tell me what you feel
Now you're here, tell me

Tell me now what you know

Never let me go
Tell me now what you see

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hans-Günter Heumann's song, "What About Me" are about a past love that still lingers in the singer's mind. The first verse speaks of how the person's name is now just a shadow in his dreams, but he still believes in their heart. The second verse talks about how the mist creeps from the person's eyes and their banner promises to remember the start. The chorus repeats the same plea, asking for the person to share their emotions and knowledge with the singer and never let go.

The lyrics themselves are quite abstract and open to interpretation. It's possible that the song could be about a lost love or even the search for one's purpose in life. The use of nature imagery, such as the raining winds and mist, adds to the dreamlike quality of the song.
