Letzte Instanz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ich weiß Du schaust an mir vorbei
doch aus dem schwarzen Fenster
schau'n mich Deine Augen an
Du Junge in der Nacht
wer hat Dein Herz gelähmt
wo ist das Feuer Deiner Augen
Du Mädchen in der Nacht
weißt Du woran ich denke
wann wirst Du's endlich sehn
mein Spiegelbild in Deinem Arm
Du Junge in der Nacht
bist Du denn wirklich blind
ich allein im schwarzen Fenster
nur für Dich ein weißer Schwan
Ba da di da, lalalalilalala,......
Du Mädchen in der Nacht
was hat man Dir getan
mit Deinen großen müden Augen
schau mich doch endlich an
Du Junge in der Nacht
das kann doch wohl nicht sein
mit tiefem leerem Blick
schau mich doch endlich an
Du Mädchen in der Nacht
jetzt ist es mir egal
ich schreie mein Gefühl heraus
und lass den Dingen freien Lauf
Du Junge in der Nacht
jetzt ist es mir egal
ich schreie mein Gefühl heraus
und lass den Dingen freien Lauf
Ba da di da, lalalalilalala,......
The song "Nachtmusik" by Letzte Instanz talks about two individuals who are lost in the night and in their own thoughts. The first verse addresses a girl who seems to be looking at the singer, but not really seeing him, instead, her eyes are looking out from a dark window. The second verse talks about a boy who has lost the fire in his eyes and the smile on his face, leaving the singer wondering what happened to him.
The chorus of the song repeats the same phrases for both the boy and the girl, asking them to look at the singer, who seems to be the only one seeing them as they truly are. The song concludes with the singer giving up on waiting for them to acknowledge him and declaring that he will express his feelings and let the things take their course.
The lyrics of the song evoke a sense of loneliness, longing, and desire for connection with other people. The window and the darkness represent a barrier between people, and the eyes are a metaphor for the soul, suggesting that people are not truly seeing each other. The chorus of the song seems to be an invitation for the boy and the girl to break the barrier and start truly seeing the singer.
