In the televoting of the final show on March 19, 2004 Max defeated nine other competitors (including established artists like Scooter or Sabrina Setlur). A majority of 92,95 % of all votes made him the German entry for the 49th Eurovision Song Contest in Istanbul, where he finished eighth with 93 points.
Thereupon the singer went back to school and passed his final high school examination, before teaming up with Raab once again to finish his self titled solo album in summer 2004. The record, a mixture of Funk, Soul and Pop in German and in English language, debuted at #1 on the German album charts and spawned the singles "Schwarz Auf Weiß", "Spür Dein Licht" and "Catch Me If You Can". From May to June 2005 Max then went on a club tour across Germany, Austria and Switzerland, before touring with Katie Melua.
Currently, Max is working on his sophomore album.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Und ich sah gleich auf den ersten Blick es fehlte nichts an dir
Sah dein funkeln in den Augen und es funkte auch bei mir
Ich sagte komm ich nehm dich mit um jetzt und hier
Ein paar Runden mit dir durch zu drehn und ich zeig dir mal was geht
Hätte Bock mal mit dir ab zu gehn
Ich glaub schon das du drauf stehst
Max Mutzke klingt ja ähnlich. Deshalb...
Cruisen wir weg von hier Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Cruisen wir weg von hier Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Cruisen wir weg von hier Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Cruisen wir weg von hier Yeah, yeah, yeah
Tut ganz gut mal für'n Moment ich mein so'n kleines bischen Aktion
Und bei allen crossern und cruisern sind wir die "Blackforrest Connection"
Ich bin mir heut mal einig, du bist die aller coolste Wahl
Ich mein das klingt zwar'en bischen peinlich doch das is mir echt egal
Dein Name klingt italienisch das gefällt mir so an dir
Max Mutzke klingt ja ähnlich. Deshalb...
Cruisen wir weg von hier Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Cruisen wir weg von hier Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Cruisen wir weg von hier Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Cruisen wir weg von hier Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ich hab zwar schon eine wie dich doch die hat echt ne Schraube locker
Du schmeist mich echt vom Tisch, nur durch dich werd ich zum Zocker
Ich glaub ich bleib mal bei dir, denn du bist'en guter Deal
Interessiert mich nicht wo wir morgen sind, denn der Weg is ja das Ziel
Von Ost nach West durch'en Schwarzwald, nur entlag am Rhein
Von Krenkingen nach Tiengen, "in a sweet moon shine", yeah, yeah, yeah
Dein Name klingt italienisch das gefällt mir so an dir
Max Mutzke klingt ja ähnlich. Deshalb...
Cruisen wir weg von hier Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Cruisen wir weg von hier Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

The lyrics of Max Mutzke's song "Weg von hier" tell the story of two people who meet and are immediately drawn to each other. The singer describes seeing the other person for the first time, wearing all black, and being struck by their beauty and sparkle in their eyes. He then invites the other person to go for a ride with him, to show them what's around and have some fun. As they cruise around in the car, the singer can't help but think about how much he likes the other person's name, and how similar it is to his own.
Throughout the song, the singer is clearly smitten with the other person, describing them as the "coolest choice" and confessing that he wants to spend more time with them. As they continue to drive through the Black Forest, the singer is completely taken with the other person, even telling them that they are a "good deal". The song concludes with the pair continuing on their journey, not knowing where they will end up, but enjoying each other's company along the way.
Overall, "Weg von hier" is a love song about two people who are drawn to each other's energy and want to spend time together. The lyrics are simple but effective, and the catchy chorus captures the excitement of being on a road trip with someone special.
