Weil ich es kann
Henke Lyrics

In "Weil ich es kann," Henke sings about his desire to be alone and his struggle with feeling sad and empty. He mentions feeling hindered in his ability to think deeply due to his deep sadness. The song portrays a sense of helplessness and isolation, with the chorus repeating the mantra "weil ich es kann, weil ich es will" (because I can, because I want to) as if holding onto the only sense of control he has in his life.

Henke reveals that he only speaks when he wants to and listens only when he can, highlighting his preference for being alone with his thoughts. The verse "bedient von Phrasendreschern, Lästerzungen und Fehlmenschen" (served by phrase-mongers, gossipers, and wrongdoers) suggests that Henke has faced criticism and negativity, leading him to retreat further into himself. The line "man weint ohne Beobachter" (one cries without an observer) adds to the feeling of isolation and that Henke may feel unheard and unseen.

Overall, "Weil ich es kann" portrays the internal struggles of someone who is dealing with deep sadness and isolation, yet also highlights a sense of self-determination and control in the face of these struggles.
