Heinz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tust du dir wirklich gutes,
Wenn du es nicht einmal mehr vermutest
Dass sich selbst für sich ganz allein,
Zu haben zwar fein ist
Doch nicht ganz deins ist
Dass haben schon ganz andere nicht gewusst
Und haben unbewusst
Und sind elendiglich innerlich verreckt,
Für immer defekt.
Es liegt doch auf deiner Hand
Mono macht unentspannt.
Wenn du mich mal beanspruchen willst
Werd ich mich nicht dagegen wehren
Offengesagt würd′s mich sogar ehren
Nein im ernst
Sehr gern (2x)
Allein sein macht einsam
Das muss ich nicht sagen
Doch einsam das geht auch gemeinsam
Und grad dann ist Einsamkeit ziemlich schwer zu ertragen
Jedes Fünkchen Zeit
Wir dann zur Ewigkeit.
Man gewöhnt sich an vieles
Auch mal an schlechtes
Doch nicht wenn's dein Ziel ist
Dass dir dein Leben so wie du dir′s vorstellst auch recht ist
Und dass es echt ist.
Es liegt doch auf deiner Hand
Mono macht unentspannt
Wenn du mich mal beanspruchen willst
Werd ich mich nicht dagegen wehren
Offengesagt würd's mich sogar ehren
Nein im ernst
Sehr gern
Wenn du mich mal beanspruchen willst
Werd ich mich nicht dagegen wehren
Offengesagt würd's mich sogar ehren
Nein im ernst
Sehr gern
The lyrics of Heinz's song "Mono" delve into the theme of self-awareness, personal fulfillment, and the importance of human connection. The opening lines prompt introspection, asking the listener to be honest with themselves about whether they are truly taking care of themselves. The lyrics suggest that while it may seem fine to have oneself all to one's own, it is not truly fulfilling. Many have unknowingly hidden their joy and zest for life, ultimately leading to internal suffering and a feeling of being permanently broken or defective. The idea that being alone does not equate to loneliness is explored, with the acknowledgment that loneliness can also be experienced when surrounded by others, making it particularly challenging to bear. The lyrics emphasize that every fleeting moment eventually contributes to eternity, and people can become accustomed to various circumstances, even negative ones, but that should not be the goal if one desires a life that is true to their vision and feels authentic.
The repetition of the phrase "Mono macht unentspannt" (Mono makes one uneasy) reinforces the message that a singular and isolated existence can lead to feelings of unease and discomfort. The lyrics also touch on the willingness of the singer to be there for someone if they need support, expressing a sense of honor in being able to assist and connect with others. There is a recognition that genuine human interaction is essential for personal growth and well-being, suggesting that reaching out and accepting help can be a positive and enriching experience. The acknowledgment that one can get used to various circumstances, both good and bad, highlights the importance of actively seeking out a life that aligns with one's desires and sense of authenticity, rather than settling for what is comfortable or familiar.
The lyrics draw attention to the fact that pursuing a life that truly reflects one's vision and values is key to finding contentment and fulfillment. The message is clear that living in isolation or solely for oneself can lead to a sense of disconnection and inner turmoil. The desire for genuine connection and the willingness to support others in their journey are highlighted as paths to combat loneliness and cultivate a sense of purpose. The lyrics suggest that true happiness and fulfillment come from engaging with others and being open to receiving and offering support, rather than existing in a state of emotional isolation. Overall, the song underscores the importance of self-awareness, human connection, and actively shaping one's life in accordance with personal values and aspirations.
Line by Line Meaning
Sei mal ehrlich zu dir
Be honest with yourself
Tust du dir wirklich gutes,
Are you really doing yourself good,
Wenn du es nicht einmal mehr vermutest
If you no longer even suspect it
Dass sich selbst für sich ganz allein,
That being alone, for themselves,
Zu haben zwar fein ist
Is fine to have
Doch nicht ganz deins ist
But it's not entirely yours
Dass haben schon ganz andere nicht gewusst
Many others have not known this
Und haben unbewusst
And unknowingly
Ihre Lebenslust ganz ganz toll versteckt
They have hidden their lust for life very well
Und sind elendiglich innerlich verreckt,
And have miserably died inside,
Für immer defekt.
Forever broken.
Es liegt doch auf deiner Hand
It's in your hands after all
Mono macht unentspannt.
Being alone makes you tense.
Wenn du mich mal beanspruchen willst
If you ever want to ask me for something
Werd ich mich nicht dagegen wehren
I won't resist it
Offengesagt würd′s mich sogar ehren
Honestly, it would honor me
Nein im ernst
No, seriously
Sehr gern (2x)
Very gladly (2x)
Allein sein macht einsam
Being alone makes you lonely
Das muss ich nicht sagen
I don't have to say that
Doch einsam das geht auch gemeinsam
But loneliness can also be shared
Und grad dann ist Einsamkeit ziemlich schwer zu ertragen
And precisely then, loneliness is quite hard to bear
Jedes Fünkchen Zeit
Every little bit of time
Wir dann zur Ewigkeit.
Leads us to eternity.
Man gewöhnt sich an vieles
One gets used to many things
Auch mal an schlechtes
Even to bad things
Doch nicht wenn's dein Ziel ist
But not when it's your goal
Dass dir dein Leben so wie du dir′s vorstellst auch recht ist
That your life as you imagine it is also right for you
Und dass es echt ist.
And that it's real.
Es liegt doch auf deiner Hand
It's in your hands after all
Mono macht unentspannt
Being alone makes you tense
Wenn du mich mal beanspruchen willst
If you ever want to ask me for something
Werd ich mich nicht dagegen wehren
I won't resist it
Offengesagt würd's mich sogar ehren
Honestly, it would honor me
Nein im ernst
No, seriously
Sehr gern
Very gladly
