Felix in the Sky
Silke Bischoff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For a while
And now you´re here
With a rainbow in your eyes
I can see your smile
And your tears
So don´t tell me lies
Nothing changed
Believe me it´s true
The same as it ever was
I´m still loving you
24 hours
I´m running wild
This is the future
I´m laughing like a child
48 hours
The universe in my eyes
Felix in the sky
72 hours
I can´t sleep
Too much paranoia
Life is cheap
96 hours
I wanna die
I am falling
I close my eyes
I heaven´t seen you
For a while
And now you´re here
With a black sun in your eyes
I can see your smile
And your tears
So don´t tell me lies
The same as it ever was
Nothing changed
Believe me it´s true
The same as it ever was
I´m still loving you
24 hours
I´m running wild
This is the future
I´m laughing like a child
48 hours
The universe in my eyes
Felix in the sky
72 hours
I can´t sleep
Too much paranoia
Life is cheap
96 hours
I wanna die
I am falling
I close my eyes
24 hours
I´m running wild
This is the future
I´m laughing like a child
48 hours
The universe in my eyes
Felix in the sky
72 hours
I can´t sleep
Too much paranoia
Life is cheap
96 hours
I wanna die
I am falling
I close my eyes
The lyrics to Silke Bischoff's song "Felix in the Sky" are full of imagery and emotions. The song appears to be about a person who has been reunited with someone they haven't seen in a while. The opening lines set the scene, "I haven't seen you for a while/ And now you're here/ With a rainbow in your eyes/ I can see your smile/And your tears." The singer is clearly happy to see this person again, but also realizes that they may be hiding something, hence the plea not to tell any lies.
Despite the reunion, the song has a somewhat bittersweet quality to it, with repeated lines like "The same as it ever was/ Nothing changed/ Believe me it's true/ The same as it ever was/ I'm still loving you." It seems as though things haven't necessarily gotten better or worse in the time they've been apart, but the love remains.
The rest of the song is a series of snapshots of the singer's emotions as time passes. They describe the first 24 hours as being full of excitement and laughter, "I'm running wild/ This is the future/ I'm laughing like a child." However, the next 48 hours bring "too much paranoia," and the universe seems to be closing in on them. By 96 hours, the singer is feeling suicidal, "I wanna die/ I am falling/ I close my eyes." The final lines of the song return to the earlier imagery of rainbow eyes and black sun eyes, seemingly representing the mixed emotions of the reunited couple.
Overall, "Felix in the Sky" is a song that speaks to the complexity of relationships and the way that time changes our perceptions and emotions. The lyrics are poetic and veiled, leaving the listener to draw their own conclusions about the story behind them. The music accompanying the song has a haunting quality to it, fitting perfectly with the overall mood of the lyrics.

I heaven´t seen you
It has been a while since we last met
For a while
A long period of time has passed
And now you´re here
You have finally arrived
With a rainbow in your eyes
You have a happy and hopeful outlook
I can see your smile
I can see the joy on your face
And your tears
I can see the sadness and pain as well
So don´t tell me lies
Please be honest with me
The same as it ever was
Nothing has changed
Nothing changed
Things are exactly as they were before
Believe me it´s true
Trust that what I am saying is true
I´m still loving you
My feelings for you have not changed

Two days
The universe in my eyes
I am filled with wonder and amazement
Felix in the sky

I am losing control and spiraling downward

I am giving up or surrendering
With a black sun in your eyes
You have a sad and ominous outlook
