Lucilectric Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Die Wände aus Wolken steh'n zu dicht.
Regen fällt auf Asphalt, dir ist kalt.
Do mußt raus aus dem Bann des Graus.
Refrain:
Denk an Rot,
Denk an Gelb,
Denk an Grün,
Von Rot wird dir warm, Blau ist der Ozean,
Gelb läßt dich strahlen, mehr als es die Sonne kann.
Die Kraft der Bäume ist grün, und rosa wenn sie blüh'n,
Schon ist es aus mit dem Bann des Graus.
Refrain.
The lyrics of Lucilectric's song "Farben" discuss the feeling of being trapped in a grey and dreary world, unable to find a way out. The first line, "Do möchtest zum Licht, doch sie lassen dich nicht", translates to "You want to go towards the light, but they won't let you". The "they" here is likely referring to some sort of societal or personal barrier that prevents the singer from reaching their goals. The "walls of clouds" mentioned in the second line represent a metaphorical barrier that is too thick to break through, and the rain and cold serve to emphasize the dreary and oppressive mood.
However, the chorus offers a solution: by thinking of different colors, the singer can break the spell of the grey world they are trapped in. Each color is associated with a different emotional response: red warms you up, blue is like the ocean, yellow makes you shine brighter than the sun, and green represents the strength of trees and their beautiful pink blooms. By visualizing these colors, the singer can free themselves from the "ban of the grey". The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the importance of embracing these colors and enjoying the beauty they represent.
Overall, the lyrics of "Farben" suggest that even in the most oppressive and grey circumstances, there is always a way to find color and beauty if you look hard enough. It is a message of hope and encouragement in the face of adversity.
