Wohin Du Gehst Lyrics in English AnnenMayKantereit

Ever run into an old friend and feel like you’re talking to a stranger? That is exactly the bittersweet vibe of “Wohin Du Gehst” by AnnenMayKantereit. The singer bumps into someone who used to be close – maybe a former best friend, maybe an ex – and realizes they now live in completely different worlds. The other person hangs out with “new people who know you better”, crashes on new couches after nights out, and leaves questions about where they are heading unanswered. Meanwhile, the singer is stuck with memories of “red eyes, long hair” and late-night laughs that have long since faded.

The song captures that awkward mix of nostalgia, regret, and quiet hurt that comes when relationships drift apart without a dramatic breakup. Both characters avoid asking the hard questions, each keeping their destinations secret, as if revealing them might reopen old wounds. In short, “Wohin Du Gehst” turns a simple chance meeting into a heartfelt reflection on how time changes people, how silence grows between once-close souls, and how hard it can be to say, out loud, “Where are you really going?”
