Augenblick
Megaherz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wenn man bleibt ist man nicht da
Unter tausend Leuten
Ist man gut versteckt
Unter tausend Leuten
In Bewegung gesetzt
Milliarden Augen erblicken die Welt
Unter tausend Leuten
Ist man gut versteckt
Unter tausend Leuten
Tausendfach verstellt
Es ist alles nur ein Augenblick
In einem Augenblick
Wenn man flieht
Kommt man vielleicht zurück
Wenn man bleibt
Ist man oft nicht da
Aus tausend Versionen
Wird man zu einem Stück
Aus tausend Versionen
Zusammengesetzt
Milliarden Münder flüstern zur Welt
Milliarden mal Wahrheit festgestellt
Hinter tausend spiegeln
Unendlich entstellt
Hinter tausend spiegeln
Ist man gut versteckt
Milliarden Füße begehn diese Welt
Milliarden mal Wege hergestellt
Unter tausend Straßen
Tausend mal gewählt
Tausend Reisen die man zurückgelegt
The song Augenblick by Megaherz is a reflective piece on the nature of existence and the human condition of feeling lost in a world of constant motion and millions of others. The first two lines set up a dichotomy, saying that whether you run away or stay, you are not truly absent or present. In this world, with so many people, it is possible to be hidden among the crowd, but also it is possible to be lost or unseen. The second verse discusses how billions of people have come before us, and billions more will come after, all with their own experiences of what is true and real. The final verse reflects on the idea that each of us is made up of a thousand versions and experiences, and yet we are still composed of one piece. Despite everything we may feel or see, everything is fleeting, and it all comes down to a single, fleeting moment.
Overall, the message of this song is one of reflection on the fleeting nature of existence and the idea that we are all simply pieces of a grander, interconnected whole. It speaks to the struggles of feeling lost in a world of motion and millions of people, and the idea that what truly matters is not the grandiose things that we do or the people we meet, but rather the small yet significant moments that we experience in this short life.
