The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Ich Tanze Leise" by the artist "Wincent Weiss"

In the song "Ich Tanze Leise" ("I dance quietly"), German singer Wincent Weiss tells a sad story about a breakup and the difficulty of coming to terms with the departure of a loved one. The lyrical hero returns to a bar that was a special place for him and his ex-lover. He remembers the time they spent there, arguing and making up.

The sound of "their song" awakens in him a bitter nostalgia, forcing him to move to the beat of the music, imagining that she is still there. The loneliness and emptiness of the surrounding space ("the hall has been empty for several hours") emphasize the depth of his feelings.

He does not hide his pain and lack of understanding ("I was not prepared", "Drowning the pain"). The phrase "Time heals all wounds" sounds more like a bitter statement than a hope for healing. The hero understands that time is the only cure, but he finds it hard to accept that his beloved, unlike him, still hasn’t recovered from the breakup ("You still haven’t managed, You still haven’t coped with it").

The repetition of the lines "And the band plays our song..." and "I want you to still be here" reinforces the feeling of longing and hopelessness. The lyrical hero seems to be stuck in the past, unable to move on.

Ich zieh' mich an, ich ziehe los

Wie in den alten Zeiten

In unsre Bar, in der ich war

Nach unsren ersten Streiten

Wir hab'n aus Elefanten Mücken gemacht

So konnt' es ewig bleiben

Wir hab'n 's geschafft, immer gepackt

Und die Band spielt unser Lied

Ich tanze leise zur Musik

Als wärst du immer noch hier

Als wär'n wir immer noch hier

Und der Saal ist schon seit Stunden leer

Das Licht ist an, die Beine schwer

Ich wünsch' mir, du wärst noch hier

Ich wünsch' mir, du wärst noch hier

Dass alles so kam,

Hätt' ich nie gedacht

Ich war nicht vorbereitet

War tagelang weg, hinter Flaschen versteckt

Trank ich den Schmerz beiseite

Wunden heil'n die Zeit –

Ey, als wär das so leicht,

Dass alles zu begreifen!

Hast bis jetzt nicht geschafft,

Es noch nicht gepackt

Und die Band spielt unser Lied...
