All die schönen Worte Lyrics Meaning

[Strophe 1: Felix]
The singer imagines a bunch of random, almost absurd ways he could suddenly die, showing how unpredictable life can be. He’s shocked by the idea that death could come out of nowhere, whether through an accident, bad luck, or something tiny and unexpected. This part highlights how fragile life feels and how little control we really have over what might happen next.

[Pre-Refrain: Felix]
He realizes he always assumed there would be plenty of time to fix things or talk things out with someone important. Now he’s in an ambulance, trying to hold on, but his body is failing. He wants to speak, maybe say something meaningful, but he can barely breathe. It’s that moment when he understands time has run out far sooner than he ever believed.

[Refrain: Faber]
He’s frustrated that he kept so many important thoughts locked inside. Now that he’s gone, those words stay unspoken forever, fading away like they never mattered. He truly thought he’d get around to saying them one day, but that chance has slipped away, leaving only regret.

[Strophe 2: Felix]
He continues imagining unexpected, almost ironic ways he could die, whether in nature or while performing. He jokes about his own careless behavior, like going too fast or being too proud to wear proper protection. Even something small could knock him out of the world instantly. This section keeps pointing to how easily life can end without warning, no matter what you’re doing.

[Pre-Refrain: Felix]
Again, he reflects on how he believed life would stretch on and give him endless chances to sort things out. But now he’s in the hands of paramedics, fighting to stay conscious, wanting to speak but unable to. It hits him that the conversation he always planned to have will never happen now, because his breath is slipping away.

[Refrain: Faber]
He repeats how many important things he never spoke out loud, and now he carries them into the grave with him. All those thoughts and feelings just sit there, unused and forgotten, aging like objects left on a shelf. He was convinced he’d share them someday, but “someday” kept being pushed off until it was too late, and now those once-beautiful words have no place to go.

[Post-Refrain: Faber]
Unspoken precious words.

[Outro: Faber]
He describes his final moments, lying on the street with only the sound of a siren echoing around him. He feels strangely weightless, as if everything is slipping away. His life ends before he ever really got the chance to live it, leaving a sense of unfinished beginnings and thoughts that never made it out.
