Frische Luft Lyrics in English Wincent Weiss

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Frische Luft by Wincent Weiss from German to English.
I'm still the boy from the old stories
Even though there's so much new up north
It'd be exciting to know if anything will change
But if I stay, I'll despair
Blindfold me and I'll be born blind
I already know every corner here by heart
I feel like a stranger where my home is
Will it get better again? I don't think so
I'll surely miss it a little bit
But it'd be better to leave
I need fresh air
So I can breathe a bit again
Be somewhere I've never been before
Grab my jacket and just set off
I need fresh air
So I can breathe a bit again
When something ends, something new begins
Just gotta believe and then everything'll be fine
I need fresh air
Since we moved in together it feels different
I thought we'd grow old together
Now I'm glad whenever I'm outside
If it'll get better again, I don't know
I'll surely miss you a little bit
But it'd be better to leave
I need fresh air
So I can breathe a bit again
Be somewhere I've never been before
Grab my jacket and just set off
I need fresh air
So I can breathe a bit again
When something ends, something new begins
Just gotta believe and then everything'll be fine
I need fresh air
Bridge
I need fresh air
I need fresh air
So I can breathe a bit again
Bridge
When something ends, something new begins
I need fresh air
So I can breathe a bit again
Be somewhere I've never been before
Grab my jacket and just set off
I need fresh air
So I can breathe a bit again
When something ends, something new begins
Just gotta believe and then everything'll be fine
I need fresh air
Outro
I need fresh air
I need fresh air

SONG MEANING

Need a breath of Frische Luft? Wincent Weiss sings about that restless moment when everything familiar starts to feel too small. He is still “the boy from the old stories,” yet his hometown and even a once-cozy relationship now feel stifling. The chorus bursts out like opening a window: “I need fresh air so I can breathe again.” It is a catchy reminder that stepping into the unknown can be healthier than staying in a place where you are gasping for space.

The song captures the bittersweet mix of excitement and fear that comes with change. Weiss admits he will “miss a piece” of what he leaves behind, but he trusts that “when something ends, something new begins.” With every beat, he zips up his jacket, heads for the door, and invites us to join him on a walk toward new horizons and renewed self-belief.
