The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Zeichen" by the artist "Wincent Weiss"

In the song "Zeichen," Wincent Weiss sings about bitter regret for lost love, about how he, blinded by his own life, did not notice the "signs" – signals that his beloved gave him.

The song begins by describing the tense atmosphere in the relationship ("Three rooms, but family matters are bad"), where he feels uncomfortable and tries to isolate himself from problems ("Enter at your own risk"). He understands that the girl is trying to reach out to him ("Tell me, don't you see this? I'm doing all this just for you"), but he is not ready to listen ("Yes, you've asked me repeatedly, but honey, I can't talk right now..."). He brushes her off, promising to call back later, but as we understand from the further text, these "laters" never come.

As time passes ("I know it's been many years"), he continues to ignore her feelings and words ("You wanted to say: "Okay!" – I didn't listen. I ignored everything you said"). He was too busy with himself, with his own affairs, with his "restless life" to notice how his beloved was moving away from him. And only when she leaves ("It's too late now, because you're not here anymore"), he begins to understand how wrong he was.

The chorus of the song is a cry of his soul, belated repentance: he realizes that he did not notice the signs, that he was not there often enough, that he did not want to waste time on her. And now this obvious truth causes him unbearable pain.

At the end of the song, he repeats again and again: "I know I didn't notice the signs", as if trying to atone for his guilt with this confession. But the time is gone, and he can no longer get his beloved back.
