Nie Mehr

Alexander Veljanov's song 'Nie Mehr' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the painful process of letting go. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who has been waiting in vain for a loved one to return, only to be met with disappointment and heartache. The opening lines, 'Kommst du wieder / Alles warten war umsonst,' set the tone for the song, expressing the futility of waiting and the emotional exhaustion that comes with it. The imagery of 'Schwere Lider / Matt der müden Augen Glanz' further emphasizes the weariness and despair felt by the narrator.

As the song progresses, the narrator reflects on their past, revealing a sense of hopelessness and self-deprecation. The lines 'Gab ich mich schon auf / Dort lag ich am Boden / Nur Spott als Lohn' suggest that the narrator has reached a low point, feeling mocked and ridiculed for their feelings. The repeated mention of 'In deinem Namen' indicates that the source of their pain is the person they long for, who remains absent. This absence is a recurring theme, as seen in 'Und Du bist nicht hier / Will mich nie mehr sehnen,' where the narrator resolves to stop yearning for someone who is not present.

The song's climax comes with the plea for the loved one to stay away, despite the lingering affection. 'Doch bitte bleib mir fern' and 'Streich ihn aus / Meinen Namen' are powerful declarations of the need to move on and erase the past. The narrator wishes the best for their loved one, 'Alles Gold der Welt / Glückseligkeit,' but ultimately recognizes that they must part ways for their own well-being. The final lines, 'Geh mit Gott, doch geh!' encapsulate the bittersweet nature of this farewell, blending a sense of finality with a hope for peace and closure.
