Alles Was Ich Will Lyrics in English by Brenner
Sehnsucht is a deeply evocative German word that goes beyond a simple translation of "longing" or "yearning". It encapsulates a profound, often melancholic, desire for something distant, unattainable, or lost.
In "Alles Was Ich Will," the lyric "Dort am Horizont liegt Sehnsucht" (There on the horizon lies longing) perfectly captures the song's theme of seeking a new life and freedom. It's not just a wish, but a powerful, almost spiritual, yearning for an unknown future, making it a truly unique and compelling word.
This song is a powerful anthem about leaving everything behind to find yourself. The singer is hitting the road, declaring, "Verdammte Welt, dich lasse ich hier" (Damned world, I'm leaving you here) and driving off into the night. It's all about the feeling of escape and the promise of a new beginning, described as "Nur Asphalt und der Weg zur Freiheit" (Just asphalt and the road to freedom). He has no map and no plan, but that's the whole point. What he wants is the feeling of a new life and the freedom of the open road.
This isn't just a physical journey; it's about returning to his true self. The chorus repeats that this feeling is "was ich will" (what I want) and that it's his "Weg zu mir" (path to myself). He's not running away so much as running towards the person he's meant to be. The song ends with him feeling like he's finally back, declaring, "Das alles bin ich, einfach nur ich" (This is all me, just me).
