Stolpern literally means 'to stumble' or 'to trip'. It's a vivid word that evokes a physical action, but in the context of this song, it takes on a deeper, metaphorical meaning.
LOTTE sings, "Auf jedes Stolpern, jedes Scheitern" (To every stumble, every failure). Here, Stolpern represents the small setbacks, missteps, and challenges we encounter on life's journey. It's an enticing word because it suggests embracing imperfections and learning from them, making it both relatable and inspiring.
Auf das, was da noch kommt is a sparkling toast to the future, a musical high-five to every twist and turn that lies ahead. LOTTE and Max Giesinger sing about jumping headfirst into life: crashing into walls, dusting yourself off, basking in sunshine, and even dancing in the rain. Instead of fearing mistakes, they celebrate each stumble as a stepping-stone that nudges us closer to who we really are. The song’s chorus raises an imaginary glass to optimism, spontaneity, and the thrill of not knowing what tomorrow will bring.
Wrapped in catchy pop hooks, the lyrics sketch a bucket list of joyful rebellion: wasting hours without guilt, getting lost in dreams, moving south to slow life down, and making more room for love. It is an anthem for anyone who wants to swap pessimism for possibility and greet every new day with wide-eyed excitement. Press play, lift your glass, and join the celebration of everything that is still on its way!
