Westkreuz Lyrics in English Von Wegen Lisbeth

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Westkreuz by Von Wegen Lisbeth from German to English.
If my new app's right
I'll smoke ten fewer cigarettes today
I'll save two euro thirty
That gets me four beers at Edeka
A lot's gonna change
The kebab place's a hair salon now
And you don't know about it
But the elevator at Westkreuz
Still smells like piss
And you don't know
How much I miss you
And the elevator at Westkreuz
Still smells like piss
And you don't know
How much I miss you
A lot's different here now
Look, the baker on the corner there
It's way more expensive now
But it used to taste better
There are different spots now
Where your Wi-Fi connects by itself
And where nobody finds you
But the elevator at Westkreuz
Still smells like piss
And you don't know
How much I miss you
And the elevator at Westkreuz
Still smells like piss
And you don't know
How much I miss you
Outro
And the elevator at Westkreuz
Still smells like piss
And you don't know
How much I miss you
And the elevator at Westkreuz
Still smells like piss
And you don't know
How much I miss you
And the elevator at Westkreuz
Still smells like piss
And you don't know
How much I miss you

SONG MEANING

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.
