Weiße Fahnen
The BossHoss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Es ist ein kalter Tag
In seinem heißen Herz
Und ein lautes Feuer
Zündet wieder den Himmel an

Und er rennt um sein Leben
Schon sein junges Leben lang
Hat den Krieg seiner Väter
Doch nie angefangen

Und immer wenn er einschläft
Träumt er sich weit weg
Träumt er sich in die Stille
Träumt er sich davon

Ein leiser Wind weht
Und der Himmel ist weit
Dieser Krieg ist aus
Und die Soldaten gehen heim
Und weiße Fahnen wehen
Und alle sind frei, frei, frei
Diese Nacht, mein Freund
Hab ich von Frieden geträumt

Und er wacht auf
Im Feuerregen
Die Nacht gelähmt
Keine Sterne zu sehen

Durch seine kleinen Hände
Fließt roter Sand
Er weiß wie Leben enden
Aber nicht wie sie anfangen

Und immer wenn er einschläft
Träumt er sich weit weg
Träumt er sich in die Stille
Träumt er sich davon

Ein leiser Wind weht
Und der Himmel ist weit
Dieser Krieg ist aus
Und die Soldaten gehen heim
Und weiße Fahnen wehen
Und alle sind frei, frei, frei
Und diese Nacht, mein Freund
Hab ich von Frieden geträumt

Zu viele Träume
Liegen hier begraben
Doch er hat nie aufgehört
Das Träumen zu wagen
Jetzt ist er weit weg
Mit geheilten Wunden
Und seine kleinen Hände
Haben den Frieden gefunden

Ein leiser Wind weht
Und der Himmel ist weit
Dieser Krieg ist aus
Und die Soldaten gehen heim
Weiße Fahnen wehen
Und alle sind frei, frei, frei




Diese Nacht, mein Freund
Hab ich von Frieden geträumt

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The BossHoss's song Weiße Fahnen address the theme of war and its aftermath in a poignant manner. The opening lines speak of a cold day and a hot heart, quite possibly referring to the singer's emotional state in the midst of a war. The lines suggest that even in the midst of violence and chaos, there is still a spark of hope that can ignite a fire, symbolized by the image of the sky being set ablaze.


The song then shifts to the perspective of a soldier who has grown up amidst ongoing war since his father's time, yet has never engaged in it himself. His recurrent dreams take him away from the cacophony of war and into a world of stillness and peace, where he can escape the harsh reality around him. The lyricist then highlights the tragedy of war, the loss of many lives and the destruction of dreams that are buried alongside those that perish. Amidst this bleak scenario, the singer's unwavering strength lies in his ability to dream of a world that is not plagued by war.


Finally, towards the end of the song, the lyricist speaks of the soldier having found peace, and of the war being over, signified by the presence of white flags waving. This suggests that the singer has come full circle, having gone through pain and despair, and finally arriving at a point of peace and hope, signified perhaps by the presence of a gentle wind blowing and the wide expanse of the sky above him.

White Flags (Weiße Fahnen - Silbermond) lyrics

It`s a cold day
in his hot heart
and a loud fire
lights the sky again

And he`s running for his life
his whole young life
never started the war
of his fathers

And everytime he falls asleep
he dreams himself far away
dreams of the silence
dreams himself away
A gentle wind blows
and the sky is wide
This war is over
the soldiers are going home
And white flags fly
and everybody is free, free, free
Tonight my friend
I dreamt of peace

And he wakes up
in the rain of fire
the night`s paralyzed
no stars to see

Red sand runs
through his little hands
he knows how lives end
but not how they start

And everytime he falls asleep
he dreams himself far away
dreams of the silence
dreams himself away
a gentle wind blows
and the sky is wide
This war is over
the soldiers are going home
And white flags fly
and everybody is free, free, free
Tonight my friend
I dreamt of peace

There are so many buried dreams
but he`s never stopped
dare dreaming
Now he`s far away
with healed wounds
His small hands
have found peace

Bernd Gerlach

Ein leider sehr aktuelles Lied, tief berührend gesungen ... Lasst uns für die Menschen die mit Krieg und Leid konfrontiert sind beten, und lasst uns positive Botschaften in die Welt tragen ...

Nico David

I am not German, and as much as I understand the words I cannot really deeply relate to the deep meaning of the song.
Despite all of that, I watched your performance multiple times and I found it absolutely great!
Authentic, honest, and incredibly strong!
WHAT A DUET GUYS!

Weniger ist mehr, and you are 100% the representation of it.
Thank you for this gift 🙏🎶🙏
