Schrei Es Raus Lyrics in English by Joris
Baufällig literally translates to "dilapidated" or "ramshackle," often used to describe a building that is structurally unsound and in disrepair. It's not a word you hear every day, especially in song lyrics.
In this song, Joris uses it metaphorically to describe "Dein Schicksal, baufällig" (Your destiny, dilapidated). This powerful image suggests a fate that is crumbling, unstable, and on the verge of collapse, making it a compelling and unique choice to convey a sense of impending doom or fragility.
Joris opens "Schrei Es Raus" ("Scream It Out") already mid-collapse: "Dein Verstand in Flammen steht" ("Your mind is in flames"), and whoever is carrying it is doing it alone. "Und du mal wieder viel zu viel auf den Schultern trägst" ("And once again you're carrying too much on your shoulders"), while life keeps clapping anyway: "Und durch die Trümmer schallt Applaus" ("And applause echoes through the rubble"). The chorus offers no fix, just the title as an instruction: "Schrei' es raus, schrei' es raus" ("Scream it out, scream it out").
By the bridge the weather actually turns. "Ein Tropfen Sonne / Und erste Farben tragen auf" ("A drop of sun / And the first colors emerge") brings back the same person who was collapsing in verse one, now "Hand in Hand mit dem Glück" ("hand in hand with happiness"), their reflection wearing a smile again: "Dein Spiegelbild wieder Lächeln trägt."
