And it'd be so much easier if you were here too

In my head I'm killing time

In my head you smell like lilac

And I feel so helpless when you're not here

In my head I'm killing time

In my head you smell like lilac

And I scream so loud: "Give me more of you"

But the next morning you're gone

You help me lose myself

Even though you never wanted that yourself

My mind stops till you get it

That you need me and I need you

I don't feel quite so empty when you give me more

And it'd be so much easier if you were here too

In my head I'm killing time

In my head you smell like lilac

And I feel so helpless when you're not here

In my head I'm killing time

In my head you smell like lilac

April to May and it's already over

Purple-white days, your scent stays

But my heart's stuck in the same place

You were once a brief home

But your colors have long since faded

First love smells of longing in the wind

The prettiest flowers lose their petals in the wind

Only the lilac whispers your name into the wind

And it'd be so much easier if you were here too

In my head I'm killing time

In my head you smell like lilac

And I feel so helpless when you're not here

In my head I'm killing time

In my head you smell like lilac

Flieder — Lilac

Flieder translates to "lilac". It's a beautiful and evocative word that isn't commonly found in everyday German songs, making it stand out.

In the context of the song, the scent of lilac is deeply intertwined with the memory of a past love. The lyrics mention, "Im mei'm Kopf riechst du nach Flieder" (In my head, you smell like lilac) and "Nur der Flieder flüstert deinen Namen in den Wind" (Only the lilac whispers your name in the wind), highlighting its symbolic role in recalling a bittersweet romance.

Have you ever been completely consumed by thoughts of someone you miss? That's exactly what MilleniumKid explores in "Flieder." It's a song about longing for someone who isn't there, where their memory, and specifically the scent of lilac, fills every corner of the singer's mind.

He sings, "Im mei'm Kopf riechst du nach Flieder" [In my head, you smell like lilac], showing how deeply this person is ingrained in his thoughts. He feels helpless without them, constantly wishing they were there, even though he knows they're gone. The lyrics "April bis Mai, schon ist es vorbei" [April to May, it's already over] and "Doch deine Farben sind schon längst verblüht" [But your colors have long since faded] suggest a past love that, like the fleeting bloom of lilac, was beautiful but brief. Despite the pain, the scent of lilac keeps their memory alive, whispering their name in the wind.
