Flut
Silly Lyrics

In "Flut," Silly explores the theme of feeling lost and overwhelmed in a world that is becoming increasingly hostile to its inhabitants. The song opens with the lines "Unsre Liebe hat das Spiel verlor'n / wir sind im Glasbeton erfror'n," which translates to "Our love has lost the game / we are frozen in glass and concrete." These lines suggest that the singer is feeling trapped and disconnected from the world around them, as if they are living in a cage made out of modern urbanization. The second verse continues the theme of a world gone awry, with the lines "Der Himmel weint, er trauert um sein blau / die Radios dudeln Popmusik im Stau," which translate to "The sky is crying, mourning its blue / radios play pop music in traffic jams." These lines suggest that the world has become so artificial and disconnected from nature that it is even affecting the weather.

The chorus of the song, "Flut, bitte komm, Flut / kühl mich, spül mir das Salz von der Haut / nimm mich mit, trag mich hier raus," which translates to "Flood, please come, flood / cool me, wash the salt off my skin / take me with you, carry me out," suggests that the singer is yearning for a cleansing, purifying force to come and wash away the pollution and chaos of the world. The final verse tells of how the singer is searching for a way out, but feels that they are trapped in a world that is closing in on them. The line "Das einzige was mir noch droht / ist ein Leben, noch so ein Leben / nach dem Tod," which translates to "The only thing that threatens me now / is another life, another life / after death," suggests that the singer is contemplating the possibility of escaping their current reality through death.

Overall, "Flut" is a powerful commentary on the disconnection and alienation that many people feel in a world that is becoming increasingly artificial and polluted.
