Am Fenster

The song 'Am Fenster' by the German rock band City is a poetic exploration of timeless moments and the yearning for freedom. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing and the desire to capture a moment that feels eternal. The opening lines, 'Einmal wissen dies bleibt für immer,' suggest a wish to hold onto a moment that transcends the fleeting nature of time. This is contrasted with the imagery of the night and morning, symbolizing the passage of time and the inevitable changes that come with it.

The song delves into the emotional depth of feeling something profoundly personal and unique, as expressed in the lines 'Einmal fassen tief im blute fühlen dies ist mein und es ist nur durch dich.' This suggests a connection or experience that is deeply rooted in one's being, made possible through another person. The metaphor of cooling one's forehead against the window, with a heavy fog passing by, evokes a sense of melancholy and introspection, highlighting the transient nature of such moments.

The recurring theme of a bird longing to fly after the rain, 'Klagt ein vogel, ach auch mein gefieder / Nach der regen flieg ich durch die welt,' symbolizes the desire for freedom and exploration. This imagery captures the essence of breaking free from constraints and embracing the world with renewed vigor. The song's poetic language and evocative metaphors create a rich tapestry of emotions, blending a sense of timelessness with the ever-present urge to seek new horizons.
