Not today, I'll check again tomorrow
To see whether the stars might stand differently after all
Don't ask me, I've perfected it
Getting out of the way of every question
I don't fit the picture, don't belong here
What you don't understand is that after the rush
Sobriety eats me up and
No matter how I twist and turn it, I go
Hand in hand with ethanol into no man's land
I need a forest fire
Under my skin
Burn me out
Make it so I can start again, I
Run through the chaos, wipe everything out
Rise from the ashes again
I need a forest fire
I wonder what has to happen so that I
Go through life as deaf-mute as you
Don't ask me exactly how long it's been like that
I can't recall, I think it's always been like this
I don't fit the picture, don't belong here
What you don't understand is that after the rush
Reality kicks in and
No matter how I twist and turn it, I go
Hand in hand with my demons into no man's land
I need a forest fire
Under my skin
Burn me out
Make it so I can start again, I
Run through the chaos, wipe everything out
Rise from the ashes again
Under my skin
Burn me out
Make it so I can start again, I
Run through the chaos, wipe everything out
Rise from the ashes again
Under my skin
Burn me out
Make it so I can start again, I
Run through the chaos, wipe everything out
Rise from the ashes again
I need a forest fire
Under my skin, burn me out
Make it so I can start again, I
Run through the chaos, wipe everything out
Rise from the ashes again
I need a forest fire
I need a forest fire

SONG MEANING

Fire up your headphones! In "Waldbrand," German singer-songwriter Madeline Juno turns personal turmoil into a cinematic blaze. She sings about feeling like an outsider who slips "hand in hand with ethanol" into a numb escape, only to be devoured by sobering reality the next morning. Rather than hiding, she craves a forest fire under her own skin—a fierce, cleansing inferno that will burn away doubt, addiction, and every last demon.

The chorus is a rallying cry for rebirth: "Brenn mich aus … steh' aus der Asche wieder auf." Picture a phoenix sprinting through chaos, extinguishing the past, and rising from the ashes brighter than before. "Waldbrand" is equal parts confession and battle song, reminding us that sometimes you have to let everything go up in flames before you can start fresh—and dance while it happens!
