Du hast mich 1000 Mal belogen

Andrea Berg's song 'Du hast mich 1000 Mal belogen' delves deep into the tumultuous emotions of love, betrayal, and longing. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship filled with intense highs and devastating lows. The protagonist reflects on the paradox of feeling both liberated and deeply hurt by their partner. The line 'Du brauchst das Gefühl frei zu sein' (You need to feel free) suggests a partner who values their independence, yet this freedom comes at the cost of honesty and fidelity, leading to repeated betrayals and emotional wounds.

The chorus, 'Du hast mich 1.000 mal belogen, Du hast mich 1.000 mal verletzt' (You lied to me a thousand times, You hurt me a thousand times), underscores the depth of the protagonist's pain. Despite the repeated betrayals, there's a sense of nostalgia and longing for the moments of joy and connection they shared. The imagery of flying high together, only to find the sky occupied, symbolizes the unattainable dreams and aspirations within the relationship. The partner is described as 'der Wind in meinen Flügeln' (the wind in my wings), indicating that they were a source of inspiration and support, even if fleetingly.

The song also touches on the theme of loneliness and the search for comfort. The protagonist's yearning for their partner's presence, especially during the night, highlights the void left by their absence. The repeated question 'Wo bist du?' (Where are you?) emphasizes the lingering impact of the relationship and the difficulty of moving on. Despite the pain, there's a poignant admission that the protagonist would choose to relive the experience, indicating the complex nature of love and the human tendency to hold on to cherished memories, even when they come with heartache.
