Stoppok Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
egal was dir irgendwer heut noch verspricht
er wird es nicht halten wird sich nicht mal bemhn
und du darfst zuschaun wie die Wolken wegziehn
wie die Wolken wegziehn
Wir knnen diskutieren wir knnen alles verstehn
wir knnen das ganze Theater hier sehen das Theater des Westens das Theater des Ostens
das Theater der Besten und das Drama des Ostens
Oh ich kann dir nicht sagen
wohin es jetzt geht
und woher der Wind weht
ich bin kein Wetterprophet
Gib mir'n Hinweis gib mir ne Spur
gib mir ne Fhrte eine Einzige nur
ich schwr dir ich war nicht der Einzige hier
der bereit war zu kmpfen wenn er wte wofr
wenn er wte wofr
Doch der Krieg ist verlorn das Biest ist besiegt
und der schwarze Peter da wo die Leiche jetzt liegt
die Leiche im Keller der Mangel an Charme
wenn der Krper schon kalt ist doch das Herz noch warm
The lyrics to Stoppok's song Wetterprophet describe the uncertainty and unpredictability of life. The first stanza suggests that there are certain things in life that are out of our control and cannot be promised or guaranteed by anyone. The metaphor of watching the clouds pass by symbolizes the transient nature of life and the realization that we must accept the ebb and flow of it.
The second stanza talks about the different types of drama and theater that exist in the world, in the West and in the East, among the best and the worst. It is clear that the artist wants to take a step back and observe the bigger picture, instead of getting caught up in the petty dramas of everyday life. The chorus then repeats the idea of not being able to predict the future, that life is an unpredictable force.
The final stanza talks about the notion of war and fighting for things we believe in. The "beast" being defeated could symbolize the end of a conflict, but the portrayal of the "black Peter" suggests that there is still something unsavory that remains. The last line, "when the body is already cold but the heart is still warm", could be interpreted as reading between the lines of what appears to be lost. There is something of value that is still alive and remains precious even though it seems like it has been defeated.

Entweder du hast es oder auch nicht
Either you have it, or you don't. It doesn't matter what promises someone else makes to you today. They won't fulfill them or even put effort into trying, and you'll have to watch as the clouds pass by.
Wir knnen diskutieren wir knnen alles verstehn
We can discuss anything and understand it all. We can see through all of the theatrics, no matter if it's in the West or the East or by the best or the worst actors.
Oh ich kann dir nicht sagen
Oh, I can't tell you
wohin es jetzt geht
where things are headed now
und woher der Wind weht
and where the winds are blowing from
ich bin kein Wetterprophet
I'm not a weather prophet
Gib mir'n Hinweis gib mir ne Spur
Give me a hint, give me a clue
gib mir ne Fhrte eine Einzige nur
give me just one lead
ich schwr dir ich war nicht der Einzige hier
I swear to you, I wasn't the only one here
der bereit war zu kmpfen wenn er wte wofr
who was willing to fight if only he knew what for
Doch der Krieg ist verlorn das Biest ist besiegt
But the war is lost, the beast is defeated
und der schwarze Peter da wo die Leiche jetzt liegt
And the blame is being passed around where the corpse is lying
die Leiche im Keller der Mangel an Charme
The corpse in the cellar and the shortage of charm
wenn der Krper schon kalt ist doch das Herz noch warm
Even though the body is already cold, the heart is still warm.
