Flying Saucers
Nina Hagen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Attention, attention, here and now, here and now
Achtung, achtung, jetzt komm' hier, jetzt komm' hier
Be Fearless

Flying saucers everywhere, say, did you see one too?
One night they came to me as they will also come to you
Those flying saucers are my friends 'cause they're so nice
I'm gonna see them again and again

For flying saucers we are unbelieveably important
'Cause they know the secret of life
Yes, flying saucers understand our world with deep compassion
And we are observed in the name of the Light
And it's so funny when those scary monsters tried to shoot them
And when those bullets just go through them, through

Yes, flying saucers teach us all we've always wanted to know
They open up our heart and our mind, no more blindness
The thought of hate and ignorance is fading away
The crisis finally comes to its end

For flying saucers we are unbelievably important
'Cause they know the secret of life
And flying saucers understand our world with deep compassion
And we are observed in the name of the Light
And it's so funny when those scary monsters
Get the shock of a lifetime with a close encounter
Of the third kind for the first time

Then they wake up, Good Morning America...
Here and now
Be Fearless




Attention, attention
Sei Angstlos!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nina Hagen's song Flying Saucers are an ode to extraterrestrial beings and their supposed role in humanity's spiritual evolution. The song begins with a call to attention, urging the listener to be present and fearless. The chorus then introduces the singer's fascination with flying saucers, which they believe are not only real but also friendly. The singer claims that the saucers are their friends, and that they have come to visit not only the singer, but everyone.


The singer then describes the significance of the flying saucers, claiming that they hold the secret of life and that they understand humanity with deep compassion. Moreover, the singer believes that humans are being observed by the saucers in the name of the Light, which is likely a euphemism for a higher power or a spiritual force. The singer finds it amusing that some people react with fear or hostility towards the flying saucers, especially when they try to shoot them, and the saucers simply pass through the bullets unscathed.


The song's lyrics convey a sense of wonder and curiosity towards the unknown, and a belief that there is more to the universe than what humans can perceive. The singer positions the flying saucers as benevolent beings that are here to help humans evolve spiritually, and urges the listener to be fearless in their encounters with them. The chorus repeats the call to attention and fearlessness, as well as the German phrase "Sei Angstlos," which literally means "be without fear."
