Alles Neu Lyrics in English Peter Fox

Home / Lyrics Translation / Peter Fox / Alles Neu

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Alles Neu by Peter Fox from German to English.

I burn down my studio, snort the ash like coke

I kill my goldfish, bury him in the yard

I blow up my pad, let go of everything I've got

My old life tastes like soggy toast

Fry me a prime steak, Peter's cooking the finest meat now

I'm the update, Peter Fox 1.1

I wanna shake it, party, but my pond's too small

I'm growing a new row of chompers

Like a great white shark

Waxed, juiced, polished, brand-new teeth

I'm euphoric and I've got pricey plans

I'm buying construction machines

Excavators and rollers and cranes

I pounce on Berlin, hit the siren

I build beautiful speaker towers

Bass massages your soul better

I'm the wrecking ball for the German scene

Hey, everything shines, so brand-new

Hey, if you don't like it, redo it

The world's covered in dust yet

I wanna see where it's headed

Climb the mountain of dirt 'cause fresh wind blows up top

Hey, everything shines, so brand-new

I'm sick of my old stuff

And let them rot in a sack

Mothball the clothes and then I go shopping naked

I'm totally refurbished, chicks have something to ogle

Fit as a fiddle, ripped

World champ at chess and boxing

From now on just speak plain, give me yes or no

Enough of the wishy-washy, I'm ditching all the old tricks

If I ever blaze again, I'll axe my own leg

I never wanna lie again, I wanna mean every sentence

My head's exploding, everything's gotta change

I'm looking for the switch, meeting the mighty men

Force the country to be happy, buy banks and stations

Everything goes crazy, trembling sheep and lambs

I look better than Bono and I'm a man of the people

Ready to save the world

Even if that might be wanting too much

Hey, everything shines, so brand-new

Hey, if you don't like it, redo it

The air here's used up, breathing's getting hard

Bye-bye I need to get out, the walls are closing in

The world's covered in dust

Yet I wanna see where it's headed

Climb the mountain of dirt

'Cause fresh wind blows up top

Hey everything shines, so brand-new

SONG MEANING

“Alles Neu” – which means “Everything New” – is Peter Fox’s explosive pep-talk for anyone who’s ever felt stuck in yesterday’s skin. Right from the opening lines he torches his studio, buries the goldfish, and blows up his own apartment. These wild images aren’t literal crimes; they’re a cinematic way of saying goodbye to stale routines and hello to total reinvention. Fox celebrates throwing out the soggy toast of his past and upgrading himself into Version 1.1: fitter, sharper, louder, and ready to bulldoze a dusty world with booming speakers and fresh ideas.

Behind the fiery humor sits a bigger message: if the landscape around you feels cramped or toxic, tear it down and rebuild. Whether he’s buying cranes to reshape Berlin or vowing never to lie again, Fox insists that renewal can start with one person’s decision to change. The chorus nails it: “Hey, alles glänzt, so schön neu – wenn’s dir nicht gefällt, mach neu.” In other words, everything can shine brand-new; if you don’t like what you see, remake it. The song fuses rebellious energy with optimism, turning self-destruction into self-construction and inviting listeners to climb out of the dirt where the wind blows clean and free.
