Jeden Morgen

AnnenMayKantereit's song 'Jeden Morgen' delves into the repetitive and often painful cycle of regret and longing that characterizes the protagonist's mornings. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of waking up each day with a sense of coldness and discomfort, both physically and emotionally. The 'Geräuschgewalt' or 'noise violence' that bites into the protagonist's ear symbolizes the harsh reality that intrudes upon their peace. This daily struggle raises existential questions about aging and conscience, highlighting a deep internal conflict.

The chorus reveals a desire to escape this cycle of regret. The protagonist expresses a wish to stop regretting the previous night's actions every morning. Instead, they yearn for the simplicity and comfort of dreaming about a loved one. This longing for a different kind of morning, one filled with dreams rather than regrets, underscores a profound sense of dissatisfaction with their current life. The mirror speaking 'schuldig' or 'guilty' to them and the stomach's complaints further emphasize the physical and emotional toll of their lifestyle.

The imagery of filling their stomach with coffee and cigarette smoke in seconds, and being driven by an unknown force despite knowing their mind is still lagging behind, captures the frantic and disjointed nature of their mornings. The repetition of the desire to dream of a loved one instead of facing the harsh reality suggests a deep-seated need for change and a longing for a more meaningful and fulfilling existence. 'Jeden Morgen' is a poignant reflection on the struggle between regret and the desire for a better, more hopeful start to each day.
