Flugmodus Lyrics in English Clueso

Home / Lyrics Translation / Clueso / Flugmodus

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Flugmodus by Clueso from German to English.

Permanent jet lag

Never in top shape

Live on the road like a Cadillac

Send you a photo when I land

I don't know how many days of action there were, how long we stayed up

I'm looking forward to the flight, just take off, unwind

I've been away too long, we aren't talking much

Just one dying word from each

And it's all okay, all good, eyes closed, airplane mode on

Baby, I'll be there soon

You're with me, I'm with you, c'mon, let yourself fall

Falling, backward into quicksand

Cloudless, white bed

Hold tight, California king size

You're with me, I'm with you, c'mon, let yourself fall

We're falling backward into quicksand

The lobby's dobby, the room monotone

Outside the neon sign's holding a monologue

Need strength, tape up the smoke alarm

Thoughts loud like a rock through a shop window

I could freak out

But I gotta stay on course

Could bite right through my phone

I'd love to be in your time zone, your time zone, yeah

Black clouds, ice-blue swimming pool

I listen to your voice

And it's all okay, all good, eyes closed, airplane mode on

Baby, I'll be there soon

You're with me, I'm with you, c'mon, let yourself fall

Falling, backward into quicksand

Cloudless, white bed

Hold tight, California king size

You're with me, I'm with you, c'mon, let yourself fall

We're falling backward into quicksand

C'mon, let's just slip away

Lie somewhere nobody finds us

No pressure like penciled sketches

I'm counting the days backwards

Candles cast shadows on the wall

Above, chandeliers big as America

Black clouds, ice-blue swimming pool

I listen to your voice

And it's all okay, all good, eyes closed, airplane mode on

Baby, I'll be there soon

You're with me, I'm with you, c'mon, let yourself fall

Falling, backward into quicksand

Cloudless, white bed

Hold tight, California king size

You're with me, I'm with you, c'mon, let yourself fall

We're falling backward into quicksand

SONG MEANING

Flugmodus puts us right into the hazy headspace of a touring artist who has been bouncing between time zones for so long that jet lag feels permanent. Clueso paints quick snapshots of hotel rooms, neon signs, and sleepless flights, then contrasts them with dreamy images of a "wolkenloses, weißes Bett" and a "California Kingsize." He is exhausted, running on fumes, and the only remedy he can picture is switching his phone to flight mode, closing his eyes, and imagining the moment he finally sinks next to the person he loves.

Beneath the cool travel imagery, the song is really about yearning for connection and calm. "Flugmodus an" becomes a metaphor for shutting out the noise of touring life so he can mentally land in his partner’s arms. Every chorus invites both listener and singer to fall "rückwärts in den Treibsand"—to surrender control, slow down, and recharge together. It is a modern lullaby for anyone who has ever been stuck in constant motion, dreaming of that soft, quiet place called home.
