Auf & davon
Silly Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Komm mein Freund, ein letztes Mal
mach die Augen zu
und leg dich her zu mir, ganz nah
dein warmer Atem leckt mir Trnen vom Gesicht
Dein letzter Kuss fllt federweich auf meine Haut
nur tiefer geht er nicht

auf und davon
aus und vorbei
vertane Liebesmh
ist nur vertane Zeit

Fr dich mein Freund ist dieses Lied
tief im Dunkel meiner Seele
hab ich dich noch lieb
hab doch nur dir gezeigt, wo ich verleztlich bin
sei fair, verrat mich nicht an jeden
der es wissen will

auf und davon
aus und vorbei




vertane Liebesmh
ist nur vertane Zeit

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Silly's song "Auf & davon" express an ultimate farewell to a loved one who is about to depart forever, and the singer is struggling to come to terms with this separation. The verse "Komm mein Freund" (Come my friend) starts the conversation between the singer and the departing friend, encouraging him to take one more chance to be intimately close with each other. The singer reveals that they have been hurt and are crying, and the friend's warm breath is soothing them as the last kiss falls feather-light on their skin.


The chorus, "auf und davon, aus und vorbei, vertane Liebesmüh ist nur vertane Zeit" (off and away, over and done, wasted efforts of love are just wasted time) underscores that the singer feels their time spent on this relationship was unproductive and futile. The pain of this separation and the love that they still hold for the friend is expressed in the bridge "Für dich mein Freund ist dieses Lied" (for you, my friend, this song is sung), which shows that the songwriter is attempting to deal with their emotions and let their friend know that they still care. However, they also express their fear of being betrayed by this friend, asking them not to reveal their vulnerabilities to anyone who might use it against them.


Overall, Silly's "Auf & davon" is a powerful ballad about the complexities of relationships and how time spent on them can feel wasted. The song also highlights the pain and fear of losing someone you deeply care for and how their departure can leave a lasting impact on the heart.
