All die schönen Worte Lyrics (English Translation) – Kraftklub, Faber

All die schönen Worte (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1: Felix]
The singer imagines all sorts of random and dramatic ways life could end, showing how unpredictable everything is. He never actually expected his own death to happen so suddenly. By comparing big accidents to something as small as a peanut, he highlights how fragile life can be and how quickly everything can change without warning.

[Pre-Chorus: Felix]
He realizes he always assumed he had endless time to sort things out, especially an important conversation he kept postponing. Now, as paramedics try to save him in the ambulance, he’s fighting to speak but his body is giving up. It hits him that the future he relied on is slipping away, and he can’t do anything about it because he can barely breathe.

[Chorus: Faber]
He thinks about all the things he wanted to say but never did, and now those unspoken thoughts will disappear with him. They’re left unused, like old items gathering dust. He always believed he would eventually find the right moment to talk, but that moment will never come.

[Verse 2: Felix]
He imagines more situations where life could end in an instant, whether out in nature or even from something as simple as stage fright. He admits he might have been careless or too proud to protect himself, like not wearing a helmet. Just a small mistake or a brief slip can be enough to take him out of the world for good.

[Pre-Chorus: Felix]
Once again, he reflects on how he took time for granted, assuming he’d always have later to clear the air with someone important. But as the medical team works on him, he feels his voice failing and his breath running out. The moment he thought he could postpone forever is gone, and he’s powerless to fix anything now.

[Chorus: Faber]
He thinks about all the conversations he avoided, the heartfelt words he always meant to share but never did. Now that his life is ending, those thoughts will disappear with him. They grow old inside him, untouched and unsaid, even though he truly believed he’d express them someday. That hope now feels painfully distant and too late.

[Post-Chorus: Faber]
All the beautiful words

[Outro: Faber]
He pictures himself lying on the road at the very end, with only a siren echoing around him. He feels strangely weightless, as if his soul is drifting away. In that moment, he realizes his life is ending before he ever really had the chance to live the way he wanted or say what mattered most.
