Wenn ich singe
Nicole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of "Wenn ich singe" by Nicole describe how singing is more than just a form of self-expression, as it has the power to turn reality into a dream and make one forget about time and space. The act of singing brings joy and courage, which is reflected through the lyrics "dann geht's mir gut, fass' ich neuen Mut" (then I feel good, I gain new courage). The songs she sings are an extension of herself, ranging from feelings of helplessness to hopefulness, and can be both loud and soft. The songs are described as good friends that never abandon you and can offer strength during restless nights. The act of singing is like a never-ending dance that takes one on a journey to the land of imagination, where they lose themselves in emotion and harmony.
Nicole sings not only for her listeners but for herself as well, because music is a necessity in her life. In the last stanza, she shares her soul with the listener and invites them to take a part of her with them. The lyrics have a universal appeal, as singing is a form of therapy that can unite people from different backgrounds and cultures.
