Starke Gefühle
Juliane Werding Lyrics

The lyrics of Juliane Werding's song "Starke Gefühle" (Strong Feelings) are centered around the theme of intense emotions that overpower everything in their way, even the people experiencing them. The first verse is spoken by a man, who confesses to a woman he is dancing with that strong feelings are more powerful than they are. He emphasizes the point that strong feelings can only be conquered by death. The chorus repeats the message that hearts that burn with passion are not afraid of prohibitions, and only death can put an end to these feelings.

The second verse is spoken by the woman, who agrees with the man's statement as they fall asleep together. She too believes that strong feelings are more powerful than anything and only death can stop them. However, in the third verse, the man leaves her, saying that strong feelings are stronger than him. The final verse reveals that the man is dead, and the woman is completely numb to the point where she does not feel anything anymore.

The song is about the intensity of love and passion, the way it can consume a person and how ultimately, it can only end in death. The lyrics also serve as a warning about giving into one's emotions without considering the consequences or potential dangers.
