all's was d' wüllst, des geht
wanns d' nur woaßt, was d' wüllst
drah d' um und geh
bevor's di z'lang spülst

aber des seg i eh oft a selber nit ein
und dann kriag i a schädlweh
und weil's sowieso allweil ganz anders kimmt

wie mi' ziehmt
krieg i oft schädlweh

jessasmarantjosef -
was is 'n heut ge wieder für a tag
hat si' gar nit auszahlt, dass i aufg'standen bin

überall is 's schen
g'rad nit da bei mir
ganz wurscht wo i bi
d' sun scheint nie für mi'
(allweil nur für die andern)
und wann's amal scheint

weil's amal kurz ausputzt - wann da fön geht
dann krieg i glei wieder schädlweh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hubert Von Goisern's song "Fön" speak about the struggles of trying to figure out what you want in life, and how it can often lead to frustration and headaches. The first verse encourages the listener to turn away from what they think they want before it disappoints them or causes them harm. However, the songwriter admits that even they struggle to follow this advice, and sometimes end up with a headache because things never turn out as expected. The chorus then speaks to the frustration of feeling left out of the beauty that surrounds them, as if the sun only shines for others and never for them. Even when it does, it's only because of the chaotic and unpredictable winds of the Föhn, which also happen to bring on their headaches.

The song touches on themes of self-discovery, frustration, and the unpredictable nature of life. It speaks to a universal experience of trying to find one's place in the world and the challenges that come with it. The Föhn is a strong wind that blows through the Austrian Alps and can cause headaches, irritability, and other physical and emotional reactions in people. By invoking this natural phenomenon, the songwriter is drawing parallels to the unpredictability and chaos of life that can also cause hardship and pain.
