Die Ferne
Silly Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ich seh so gerne
In die Ferne
Mit meinem Doppelglas
Ich seh so gerne
In die Ferne
Das macht mir so'n Spaß
Die Ferne ist ein schöner Ort
Doch wenn ich da bin, ist sie fort

Die Ferne ist, wo ich nicht bin
Ich geh und geh und komm nicht hin
Ich geh so gerne
In die Ferne
Mit meinem Doppelschuh
Ich geh so gerne
In die Ferne
Sie lockt mich immerzu
Die Ferne ist ein schöner Ort
Doch wenn ich da bin, ist sie fort

Die Ferne ist, wo ich nicht bin
Ich geh und geh und komm nicht hin

Overall Meaning

The song "Die Ferne" by Silly explores the idea of longing for something that seems just out of reach. The lyrics describe the enjoyment of looking into the distance through a pair of binoculars or a scope, and the thrill of venturing out into the unknown. The repeated line, "Die Ferne ist ein schöner Ort" (The distance is a beautiful place), highlights the allure of the unknown and the excitement of the journey towards it.

However, the song also acknowledges the frustration of never quite reaching that faraway destination, as the line "Ich geh und geh und komm nicht hin" (I walk and walk and never get there) suggests. The distance remains just out of reach, and the wistful tone of the song captures the bittersweet feeling of yearning for something unattainable.

Overall, "Die Ferne" paints a vivid picture of the human desire for exploration and the romanticism of the unknown, while also acknowledging the inevitable disappointment that comes with never quite reaching our goals.
