Die Bäume werden kahl
Yendri Lyrics

The lyrics of Yendri's song Die Bäume werden kahl describe the realities of change, impermanence, and loss. The first two lines of the song explicitly portray the idea of transition and decay. The trees, which were once vibrant and colorful, have now become bare and colorless. Similarly, everything in life is transient, and nothing lasts forever. The lines, "Und weil alles vergänglich ist, Werde ich dich nicht mehr seh'n," suggest that the person the singer loved is now gone, perhaps due to death, separation or just the passing of time. The fact that the person is gone means the singer is unable to see them again. This realization is the result of the changed perspective the singer now has since losing their loved one.

The second set of lyrics, "Jetzt bist du nicht mehr da, Nicht mehr bei mir Und jetzt wird mir klar, Du gehörst nicht mir," talks more explicitly about the loss of the person the singer loved. The person is no longer with the singer, and the singer seems to have accepted that the person was never really theirs to keep. The faint, melancholic tone of the song speaks to the emotion behind the singer's acceptance of the fact that everything in the world is temporary, and eventually, we have to let go of the people and things that we love.
