Findenzoo
Henke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An jenem Ort
Der nie entdeckt
Den Augenblick
Als Endloskuss
Genießt
Findenzoo
Allein man ist
Kein Streichelzoo
Fütter meine Seele
Mit deinem Mund
Mit deinem Mund
Der nichts verspricht
Nur zeitverkürzt
Mich atmend küsst
Ich suchte mich im Findenzoo
Und fand dein Ich
Im Streichelzoo
Fütter mich
Mit deinem Ich
Findenzoo
Obwohl geküsst
Allein man ist
Kein Streichelzoo
The lyrics to Henke's song Findenzoo describe a search for oneself in a place that is never quite discovered. This place is described through various metaphors, such as an endless kiss and a Findenzoo - a place where one can find oneself but is still alone. The singer is searching for someone to feed their soul with their mouth, but this is not about a physical act, as the mouth is described as not promising anything and only serving to shorten time. Instead, this is about finding a connection with someone that goes beyond the physical realm. Towards the end of the song, the singer finds this connection with someone else's "Ich" or ego, but they are still alone in the Findenzoo.
Overall, the lyrics to Findenzoo describe a longing for a deeper connection with oneself and with others. The Findenzoo is a metaphorical space that represents the search for this connection, but it is ultimately elusive and leaves the singer feeling alone, even in the midst of a kiss. The mouth is not just a physical body part, but a symbol of the need for intimacy and connection. The song ends on a hopeful note, as the singer finds a connection with another person's ego, but it is also a reminder that this connection does not erase the fundamental aloneness of the human experience.
