Irgendwo Da Draußen Lyrics in English Max Giesinger

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Irgendwo Da Draußen by Max Giesinger from German to English.
Big plans in the kids' room
And a poster of Kurt Cobain
I still remember exactly how I sat there
Under the flicker of neon lights
Wanderlust on the photo wall
It was clear to me I'd have to leave here someday
It feels easier to stay
But it'd be better to go now
Somewhere out there in another city
There's another life I'm missing right now
I'd trade it all once, everything I have
'Cause somewhere out there, you're lying awake right now
Tell me, are you lying awake right now?
Tell me, are you lying awake right now?
She was the second big love and in IKEA candlelight
Didn't think it'd last forever with her
Our bed was only one-forty, it eventually got too small
And over time 'forever' turned into 'maybe'
It feels easier to stay
But it'd be better to go now
Somewhere out there in another city
There's another life I'm missing right now
I'd trade it all once, everything I have
'Cause somewhere out there, you're lying awake right now
Tell me, are you lying awake right now?
Tell me, are you lying awake right now?
Are you somewhere out there?
Are you somewhere out there?
Or am I just chasing a shadow?
Are you somewhere out there?
Do I have to keep on running?
Or am I just chasing a shadow?
Somewhere out there in another city
There's another life I'm missing right now
I'd trade it all once, everything I have
'Cause somewhere out there, you're lying awake right now
Tell me, are you lying awake right now?
Are you somewhere out there?
Tell me, are you lying awake right now?
Or am I just chasing a shadow?
Tell me, are you lying awake right now?
Are you somewhere out there?
Tell me, are you lying awake right now?
Or am I just chasing a shadow?
Are you somewhere out there

SONG MEANING

Have you ever lain awake wondering what amazing adventures might be unfolding somewhere out there while you sit in the same old room? Max Giesinger turns that late-night restlessness into an anthem. Starting with childhood memories of big dreams, a flickering neon light, and a Kurt Cobain poster, he paints the picture of a kid who always knew he would have to leave his small town. The song’s driving beat mirrors the urgency of wanderlust: staying feels comfortable, but the pull to explore new cities and new versions of yourself is even stronger.

In the chorus, this thirst for change collides with the search for love. Giesinger reflects on a past relationship that shrank—like the 1.40-meter-wide bed they shared—until “forever” became “maybe.” Now he imagines a soulmate lying awake in another city, just as restless, while he questions whether he is chasing a real possibility or only a shadow. The result is an uplifting yet contemplative pop track about daring to trade familiarity for the unknown, fueled by the hope that both dreams and true connection are waiting somewhere beyond the horizon.
