Küssen Oder So
Matthias Reim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Großstadtlaternen, kalter Asphalt
Ein Herz voll Sehnsucht, und der Wind weht kalt
Im Morgengrauen, der Weg nach Haus'
Du bist nicht hier, ich flippe aus

Dieser kurze Moment, reine Energie
Ich hab mir so gewünscht, reale Phantasie
Und so ein bisschen Magie war bestimmt im Spiel
Du warst so bezaubernd, vielleicht ein bisschen zu viel

Kann ich das glauben?
Ist das hier wahr?
Hab' ich das alles nur geträumt
Und du warst gar nicht da?

Ich muss dich noch einmal sehen
Möchte dich wiedersehen
Muss dich noch einmal sehen
Und noch einmal küssen oder so

Ich muss dich noch einmal sehen
Möchte dich wiedersehen
Muss dich noch einmal sehen
Und noch einmal küssen oder so

Den Kragen hoch, den Blick gesenkt
Ich möchte nicht, dass man erkennt
Dass ich gerade an dich denk'
Diese Gedanken voll Zärtlichkeit
Was ist nur los, das geht zu weit

Kann ich das glauben?
Ist das hier wahr?
Hab' ich das alles nur geträumt
Und du warst gar nicht da?

Ich muss dich noch einmal sehen
Möchte dich wiedersehen
Muss dich noch einmal sehen
Und noch einmal küssen oder so

Küssen oder so

Kannst du mich hören?
Ich möcht' dir schwören
Für mich war das kein Spiel
Du bedeutest mir so viel

Ich muss dich noch einmal sehen
Möchte dich wiedersehen
Muss dich noch einmal sehen
Und noch einmal küssen oder so

Ich muss dich noch einmal sehen
Möchte dich wiedersehen
Muss dich noch einmal sehen
Und noch einmal küssen oder so





Küssen oder so
Küssen oder so

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Matthias Reim's song Küssen Oder So describe the singer's longing for someone who isn't present. The setting is a city at dawn, with the cold wind blowing and the singer feeling a deep sense of loneliness. He wonders whether the moment he shared with this person was real, or just a dream. He feels overwhelmed by the emotion he had in that moment, and he can't help but want to see this person again, to kiss them or something like that. The singer is conflicted, he wants to express his feelings, but at the same time, he doesn't want to be vulnerable.


The chorus of the song repeats several times, emphasising the singer's desire to see the person again and kiss them. The use of "küssen oder so" (kiss or something like that) adds a layer of uncertainty and allows the singer to leave things open-ended. He doesn't know what their relationship is, or if the other person feels the same way. The final bridge is a plea to the person to listen to the singer's feelings, and to acknowledge that their connection was more than just a game.


Overall, the lyrics are poignant and heartfelt, capturing the intense emotions of unrequited love and longing. The use of imagery, such as the cityscape and the emotions of the singer, creates a vivid atmosphere that draws the listener into the story.
