Glad you asked
I'm not coming back
Who needs virtual love
On their phone
Anything's possible, nothing's a must
Everyone's adrift in abundance
Glad you asked
I wanna go, I wanna go
I wanna go to Lisbon
So from there, so from there
Start over once more
Cross borders
To escape all of it
I wanna go to Lisbon
I wanna go to Lisbon
I wanna go to Lisbon
I wanna go to Lisbon
On black-and-white streets
Finally see some color
Maybe I've already arrived
Maybe still on the way
Not every road leads straight to Rome
Not every fence is electrified
Glad you asked
I wanna go, I wanna go
I wanna go to Lisbon
So from there, so from there
Start over once more
Cross borders
To escape all of it
I wanna go to Lisbon
I wanna go to Lisbon
I wanna go to Lisbon
I wanna go, I wanna go
Outro
I wanna go to Lisbon
So from there, so from there
Start over once more
Cross borders
To escape all of it
I wanna go to Lisbon
I wanna go to Lisbon
Hey real quick, that's, dagadagadagdagdag?
I wanna go to Lisbon
I wanna go to Lisbon

SONG MEANING

Picture the moment when your phone’s endless notifications finally feel like too much. In “Lissabon”, German singer-songwriter Philipp Dittberner teams up with Vize to capture that very urge to unplug and hit the road. The speaker thanks the digital world for asking but declares he won’t be coming back—he is done with “virtuelle Liebe” on a screen. Instead, he aches for something tangible, chanting “Ich will nach Lissabon” like a travel mantra that drowns out the buzz of modern overload.

Lisbon is more than a postcard destination here; it is a symbol of fresh starts and vivid color after a life lived in black-and-white routines. Crossing borders, seeing new streets, and maybe getting lost on the way all feel worth it if it means rewriting your story. The repeated refrain drives home a simple invitation: break free, chase the sun, and dare to begin again—wherever your own Lisbon might be.
