Truck Stop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
wenn du wirklich gehst
schau mir dabei - offen ins Gesicht
ich will sehn, ob du weinst
und ob dus wirklich meinst
schau mir ins Gesicht
- sonst glaub ich's nicht -
und daß da noch ein Fünkchen Hoffnung ist?
Kann es sein, daß du aufgibst?
schau mir ins Gesicht
- sonst glaub ich's nicht -
Meinst du nicht
du machst es dir zu leicht?
versagen kann man immer
doch immer nur zu zweit!
Nicht nur ich trag die Schuld
dir fehlt oft die Geduld
gib uns noch die Zeit
wir sind schon viel zu weit
Merkst du nicht, wie du zögerst?
weil da noch ein Fünkchen Hoffnung ist
kommst du weiter, wenn du aufgibst?
schau mir ins Gesicht
- sonst glaub ich's nicht -
schau mir ins Gesicht
- sonst glaub ich's nicht -
In this song, Truck Stop is begging someone not to give up on their relationship. The singer wants their partner to look them in the eyes when they say goodbye, just to make sure that they really mean it. The singer feels as though the relationship is salvageable and wonders if their partner feels the same. They mention that both parties are responsible for the state of the relationship, but that they just need more time to work things out. The singer believes that their partner is hesitant to leave because there is still a glimmer of hope left, but they will only believe that their partner is leaving if they see the pain and sincerity in their eyes.
The song seems to be about the struggle of a failing relationship and the desperation to hold onto what little hope there may be left. The lyrics are emotional and introspective, as the singers reflect on their own faults and shortcomings while asking their partner not to give up.
Overall, the song is a plea for communication and honesty between the two people in the relationship. The singer wants to know the truth, to see the pain and emotions in their partner's eyes before they accept that the relationship is over.
