Welcome to Berlin’s S-Bahn jungle. In “Westkreuz,” Von Wegen Lisbeth paint a witty city-scape where everything keeps getting an upgrade: health apps promise fewer cigarettes, kebab shops turn into hair salons, even the local bakery inflates its prices. The singer races through these micro-observations with tongue-in-cheek humor, reminding us how fast urban life transforms—yet somehow never gets any better.
But one thing stubbornly refuses to change: the elevator at Westkreuz station still “smells like pee,” and amid that stale stench the narrator is hit by the freshest ache of all—missing someone who no longer shares these everyday scenes. The song spins a bittersweet joke: cities evolve, apps update, habits shift, but heartbreak clings like that unforgettable smell, impossible to mask or delete.
