Was Macht Das Schon?

Thomas Anders' song 'Was Macht Das Schon?' delves into the themes of unwavering devotion and the complexities of love. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is deeply committed to their partner, willing to spend sleepless nights waiting for a call, and always being there when needed. The phrase 'Was macht das schon' translates to 'What does it matter,' suggesting a sense of resignation or acceptance of the sacrifices made for love. This sentiment is reinforced by the repeated lines about spending the night on the phone, indicating a readiness to support and comfort the partner at any time.

The song also explores the dynamics of a relationship where one partner is seen as a stabilizing force. The lines 'Ich allein bin dein Joker in jedem Spiel' (I alone am your joker in every game) and 'Du suchst Feuer doch du gibst mir das Gefühl' (You seek fire but you give me the feeling) highlight the narrator's role as a crucial, dependable figure in their partner's life. This metaphor of being a 'joker' suggests versatility and indispensability, emphasizing the narrator's importance in the relationship.

Additionally, the song touches on the idea of freedom within the relationship. The narrator acknowledges that they cannot hold their partner with restrictions ('Ich halt dich mit Verboten sicher nicht'), but instead, their partner stays because they feel guided and filled with love. This reflects a mature understanding of love, where trust and emotional connection are more binding than any physical or verbal constraints. The song concludes with a sense of inevitability and naturalness in their bond, as expressed in the lines 'Dich mit Liebe füllt und dich nie verliert, ganz einfach passiert' (Filled with love and never loses you, it just happens). This encapsulates the essence of a love that is both profound and effortless.
