Achterbahn Lyrics in English Helene Fischer

Home / Lyrics Translation / Helene Fischer / Achterbahn

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Achterbahn by Helene Fischer from German to English.

Intro

There's a roller coaster inside my head

I fall asleep alone, wake up alone

And in between I dream of you

Day in, day out, the same daily routine

I wonder if you even exist

But everyone says you find the best things

When you don't look for them

The answer to every question

You're my jackpot

Suddenly you're standing there, smiling at me

There's a roller coaster inside my head

Everything around us goes quiet, no people left

And the lights shine in a thousand colors

Tell me, do you feel it too? Feelings off-script

There's a roller coaster inside my head

Totally lifted, no gravity anymore

Only you and me and a sea of lights

And a sea of lights

Feelings off-script

Like on a roller coaster

Feelings off-script

Like on a roller coaster

This is my new self, glowing in new light

Like fireworks on New Year's

Just you and me, I don't need anything else

If you believe, dreams come true

Everyone says you find the best things

When you don't look for them

After all those lonely years

Everything makes sense and that's you

Suddenly you're standing there, smiling at me

There's a roller coaster inside my head

Everything around us goes quiet, no people left

And the lights shine in a thousand colors

Tell me, do you feel it too? Feelings off-script

There's a roller coaster inside my head

Totally lifted, no gravity anymore

Only you and me and a sea of lights

And a sea of lights

Feelings off-script

Like on a roller coaster

Feelings off-script

Like on a roller coaster

Bridge

There's a roller coaster inside my head

Feelings off-script

There's a roller coaster inside my head

Tell me, do you feel that?

Tell me, do you feel it too?

No gravity anymore

Only you and me and a sea of lights

And a sea of lights

Outro

There's a roller coaster inside my head

SONG MEANING

Buckle up for an emotional thrill ride! In “Achterbahn,” Helene Fischer compares falling head-over-heels in love to racing along a roller coaster track inside her mind. One moment she is stuck in a lonely routine, wondering if her dream partner even exists; the next moment, that special someone suddenly appears, and the world around them seems to freeze while lights explode in “tausend Farben” (a thousand colors). The song captures the dizzy rush of unexpected love: weightlessness, fireworks, and feelings that refuse to follow any logical plan.

At its heart, the track delivers a hopeful message: the best things in life often arrive when you stop hunting for them. Through sparkling imagery of neon lights and a boundless Lichtermeer (“sea of lights”), Fischer celebrates how love can flip your life upside down, transform solitude into joy, and turn every day into an exhilarating adventure—just like riding an endless roller coaster.
