I know a thousand streets, but no way out of here
Like it's been a hundred years, please take me home
Leave a light on so I don't get lost
I hope you're still here, because I'm coming home now
Too few days when I was with my loved ones
Although I wished I had a family
Write songs to give us all a little strength
But my children would rather that I hug them
And all the money in my account doesn't do anything for me
Because it doesn't matter that my father is breathing again
And as beautiful and wild as they were, all the parties
They stole my body for just a few years
Why did my worst words only ever reach the best?
And why did my actions often help the bad?
Why does the realization only come at the very end?
But now I appreciate you
We live on credit and at some point you have to pay
But if the journey is the destination, fuck, then I'll never get there
So I pray every night that I can make it home
But when it gets dark, leave a light on for me
I know a thousand streets, but no way out of here
Like it's been a hundred years, please take me home
Leave a light on so I don't get lost
I hope you're still here, because I'm coming home now
I know someone is up there and he sees me
But I'm still afraid I'll lose you
Because some voice drives me around the world three times
Even if I no longer know where my destination is
We swore we would never grow older
But my bones hurt when I notice it's getting colder
Even though I have what half the world wants
I run away from myself far too often
Maybe I need the shadow to realize that I am light
And the evil to realize that it's not me
And only when I am where the sun and the horizon kiss
I'm learning to miss you
We're driving on the road to hell
And look for the way back to heaven
It seems we have lost our way
But leave a light on in case I find him
I know a thousand streets, but no way out of here
Like it's been a hundred years, please take me home
Leave a light on so I don't get lost
I hope you're still here, because I'm coming home now

Erkenntnisrealization / insight

Erkenntnis translates to "realization" or "insight." It's a profound word that goes beyond simple understanding, implying a deeper, often sudden, grasp of truth or a situation.

In the song, Kontra K reflects on life's regrets and asks, "Warum kommt erst ganz am Ende die Erkenntnis?" (Why does the realization only come at the very end?). This word captures the song's introspective and philosophical tone, making it particularly engaging for learners interested in deeper lyrical meaning.

Kontra K's "Bring Mich Nach Haus" featuring Santos is a really honest look at the struggles of success and the longing for what truly matters. He talks about knowing "tausend Straßen, aber keinen Weg hier raus" [a thousand roads, but no way out], feeling lost despite all his experiences. It's like he's been gone for "hundert Jahre" [a hundred years] and just wants to go home.

He reflects on how all the money and parties don't compare to being with family. He wishes his kids would rather have a hug than his songs, and he laments that money can't bring his father back. The song is a heartfelt plea to come home, asking someone to "Lass ein Licht an" [leave a light on] so he doesn't get lost, hoping that person is still there. It's a powerful reminder that even with everything, the simplest things are often what we miss the most.
