Puppenspieler
Unheilig Lyrics

The song "Puppenspieler" by Unheilig talks about a journey through different experiences and emotions of life. The beginning of the song portrays the journey as one through valleys, forests, bridges, and lands - all guided by stars, floods, and lights. The path may be unknown but it leads to something worthwhile. The next lines talk about how every street and every place visited during the journey becomes a stage for a puppet show that showcases the stories of life. The puppets become characters in a play that tells a tale of life with every spoken word.

The chorus of the song focuses on the singer of the journey who is a "Puppenspieler" or a puppeteer. The lyrics suggest that in every act of this puppet show, there is a sense of tragedy and playfulness. The puppets become mirrors reflecting the audience's own lives, and in that reflection, the singer finds answers to the big questions and fears of life. The singer highlights that the journey is not just a physical one but also a mental and emotional one. The journey takes them to a different world - one that lies beyond the limits of ordinary experiences. The singer suggests that in that world lies the answer to the big questions of life.

The last lines of the song talk about the end of the journey. The singer hopes that someday he gets to the final stage where the lights turn and the curtains rise. He looks forward to receiving applause from the audience, indicating that he has arrived at his destination of "home." The song touches on themes about journey, self-discovery, and the search for meaning in life, making it a powerful and emotional song.
