Again it sneaks up from behind

And it asks me if it can help

It flatters me with plush and velvet

And says "Just look at yourself"

The feeling's out of the box

And it looks dazzling again

And life becomes a department store

I'll keep it on right away

Ages come and go

I've tried them on more than once

Here too tight, there too strict

Somewhere it pinches me

Too bizarre, not my style

The feeling doesn't suit me

I'm just looking around

Just looking around

The feeling sneaks up on me again

Quietly asks me what I really want

And then it April-fools me and says

"We don't have that!"

The feeling's like the latest craze

As soon as it disappears and passes by

You laugh at it and think

"Oh, how dumb I was"

Ages come and go

I've tried them on more than once

Here too tight, there too strict

Somewhere it pinches me

Too bizarre, not my style

The feeling doesn't suit me

I'm just looking around

Just looking around

Bridge

The feeling's out of the box

And it already knocks my socks off

But life isn't a department store 'cause it takes nothing back

Ages come and go

I've tried them on more than once

Here too tight, there too strict

Somewhere it pinches me

Too bizarre, not my style

The feeling doesn't suit me

I'm just looking around

Just looking around

SONG MEANING

Annett Louisan turns emotions into fashion items in "Das Gefühl". A sly, almost teasing Feeling creeps up “from behind,” wraps the singer in plush and velvet, and invites her to browse life as if it were a gigantic department store. Each new mood looks dazzling on the rack, but once tried on it pinches, scratches, or simply feels “too skurril, nicht mein Stil.” The result is comic buyer’s remorse: as soon as the Feeling drifts away, she laughs at herself for ever thinking it was a perfect fit.

Beneath the playful boutique imagery lies a clever reminder: we treat emotions like fast-fashion trends, yet life offers no returns. Louisan’s lyrics nudge us to quit endlessly “looking around” for the next big sentiment and start choosing what genuinely suits us. Authenticity, after all, never goes out of style.
