The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Leb die Sekunde" by the artist "Tokio Hotel"

The song "Leb die Sekunde" ("Live this second") by the German band Tokio Hotel explores the theme of time's fleeting nature and the importance of living in the present moment. The lyrical hero feels how rapidly time flies, compressing days and erasing memories of the past ("From today, the day has been cut in half", "Yesterday was 100,000 years ago").

The world around is changing at a frantic pace ("From today, the course of time is replaced by a countdown", "Slow motion has become fast forward"), the future is uncertain, and the past slips from memory. In this chaos, the only constant, the true value becomes the present moment - the second.

The song encourages letting go of regrets about the past ("To hell with the past, think about the present") and not worrying about the future, but instead focusing on the present, "living this second," "here and now," before it disappears forever. The repeating refrain "Live this second" is not just a call, but a real mantra that helps to stay connected to reality in the frantic pace of modern life.

The image of rapidly running time that needs to be stopped ("Time is running, Stop it") enhances the feeling of anxiety and emphasizes the transience of life. The song encourages cherishing every moment because it might be gone tomorrow.

Ab heute sind Tage nur noch halb so lang

Zum Lachen gibt es gar nichts mehr

Gestern war vor 100.000 Jahren

Morgen weiss es keiner mehr

Ab heute wird die Uhr durch`n countdown ersetzt

Die Sonne scheint auch in der Nacht

’Tschuldigung — Ich hab mal eben nachgedacht

Doch dafur ist jetzt wirklich keine Zeit…

Keine Zeit X4

Leb' die Sekunde

Hier und jetzt —

Halt sie Fest

Leb' die Sekunde

Hier und jetzt —

Halt sie fest

Sonst ist sie weg!

Sonst ist sie weg!

Ab heute gibt es jeden Tag 'ne neue Welt

Planeten sind im Ausverkauf

Die ganze Galaxie wird ruhig gestellt

Und Zeitraffer im Schnelldurchlauf

Scheiss auf gestern und erinner' dich an jetzt

Bevor du es vergessen hast

’Tschuldigung ich hab mal eben drueber nachgedacht

Doch dafur ist jetzt wirklich keine Zeit…

Keine Zeit X4

Leb' die Sekunde

Hier und jetzt —

Halt sie Fest

Leb' die Sekunde

Hier und jetzt —

Halt sie fest

Sonst ist sie weg!

Zeit lauft

Die Zeit lauft

Die Zeit lauft

Halt sie auf!

Die Zeit lauft X6

Leb' die Sekunde

Hier und jetzt — X2

Halt sie fest

Sonst ist sie weg! X2

Zeit lauft!

Halt sie fest!
