Deichkind - Luftbahn

Hmm, I discovered this song the other day, and I like the song a lot, but I have to say, the music video is not my type at all. Too much partial nudity! Argh! Well, I like the song enough that I'm posting it anyway. From the other songs I've heard from the band, this is not their usual style. They're a fusion between hip hop and electronica, but usually are much closer to the hip hop side of things.




Lyrics translation:

We drive with the air train through the night
The moon shines only for us
We've soon made it
And all the problems
On earth
Are far away from us

We drive with the air train through the night
Where the starry sky laughs for us
And all the problems
On earth
Are far away from us

From your shoulders
Fall the whole burden
You never feel it again
The gravity

And if it really should happen
That we get lost in the universe
Then I'll burn up for you
So that you never freeze

Weightless, we feel weightless
Weightless, we feel weightless

Your doubts were huge
Nobody was interested
You feel how it gets easier slowly
The worst is behind you now
You're still a little dazed
We've soon arrived
You don't need to cry now anymore
Because I took you by the hand
Sometimes you just have to get out
Because sometimes the world is too small
Do you want eternity
Then let yourself fall and get in
I show you true love
And how good it feels to clench one's fist
We fly from the darkness into the sunlight
Until we fall to dust

We drive with the air train through the night
The moon shines only for us
We've soon made it
And all the problems
On earth
Are far away from us

We drive with the air train through the night
Where the starry sky laughs for us
And all the problems
On earth
Are far away from us

Weightless, we feel weightless
Weightless, we feel weightless

  1. I just found this song today, and your blog came up in my search for it. I didn't like the music video at first but as I watched until the end I found it funny when one guy ate a sandwich and another played with chocolate and sprinkles and such. :D I think the image of the big guys contrasting the sweets and gentle animals (rabbits and deer) definitely shows the "schwerelos" message.
