“Irgendwo da draußen” is a song by German singer/songwriter Max Giesinger. It appears on his 2021 album VIER.

Cultural References, Idioms and Explanations

irgendwo da draußen – I know, you’re asking “doesn’t this mean somewhere out there?” While this would be a correct translation, as changing the word order doesn’t change the meaning, I have chosen this option as, at least for me, it evokes fewer mental images of cartoon crickets. It also seemed like a more natural phrase in American English.

Kurt Cobain – This American singer and songwriter was the guitarist, lead vocalist and primary songwriter of the rock band Nirvana.

IKEA – This is a Swedish-founded, Dutch-based company that designs and sells ready-to-assemble furniture, kitchen appliances and home accessories.

fühlen vs sich fühlen – While both of these mean to feel, they are used in different contexts. The transitive verb fühlen is used when discussing feeling a thing or a sensation. The reflexive sich fühlen is used to discussing feeling an emotion or a state of mind.

Compound Words

Kinderzimmer – This noun meaning nursery is made up of the nouns Kinder meaning child and Zimmer meaning room.

Neonleuchten – This noun has been created from the noun Neon meaning neon and the verb leuchten meaning to shine, to glow or to flash.

Fernweh – This noun meaning wanderlust is made up of the adjective fern meaning distant, far-off or faraway and the noun Weh meaning woe, ache or grief.

Fotowand – This noun was made up of the nouns Foto meaning photo(graph) and Wand meaning wall.

Kerzenschein – This noun meaning candlight is made up of the nouns Kerzen (the plural of Kerze) meaning candles and Schein meaning light, glow or gleam.

einsvierzig – This is a combination of the numbers eins meaning one and vierzig meaning forty. Not to be confused with einundvierzig meaning forty-one.

hinterher – This adverb meaning behind or afterwards is made up of the preposition hinter meaning behind or after and the adverb her meaning hither or ago.

Lyrics with Translation

Songs in any language often leave room for multiple interpretations. Following is my interpretation of the song lyrics.

Irgendwo da draußen
Out there somewhere

[Verse 1]
Große Pläne im Kinderzimmer
Big plans in the nursery
Unter’m Poster von Kurt Cobain
Under the poster of Kurt Cobain
Ich weiß heute noch genau, wie ich da saß
I still know today exactly how I sat there
Unter Neonleuchten-Flimmern
Under flickering neon lights
Fernweh auf der Fotowand
Wanderlust on the photo wall
Dass ich irgendwann hier wegmuss, war mir klar
It was clear to me that someday I would have to leave here

[Pre-Chorus]
Es fühlt sich leichter an zu bleiben
It feels easier to stay
Doch es wär besser jetzt zu gehen
But it would be better to go now

[Chorus]
Irgendwo da draußen
Out there somewhere
In einer andren Stadt
In another city
Gibt’s noch ein andres Leben, das ich hier jеtzt grad verpass’
Is there another life that I’m missing out on right now
Würd alles einmal tauschеn, alles was ich hab’
Would everything suddenly change, everything I have
Denn irgendwo da draußen, da liegst du jetzt grade wach
Because somewhere out there, you’re lying awake right now
Sag, liegst du jetzt grade wach?
Tell me, are you lying awake right now?
Sag, liegst du jetzt grade wach?
Tell me, are you lying awake right now?

[Verse 2]
Sie war die zweite große Liebe
She was the second great love
Und im IKEA-Kerzenschein
And in the IKEA candlelight
Hab’ ich gedacht, dass das mit ihr für immer bleibt
Did I think that this with her would last forever
Unser Bett war nur einsvierzig
Our bed was only one forty
Es wurde irgendwann zu klein
At some point it became too small
Und mit der Zeit wurd’ aus „für immer“ ein „vielleicht“
And with time, “forever” turned into a “maybe”

[Pre-Chorus]
Es fühlt sich leichter an zu bleiben
It feels easier to stay
Doch es wär besser jetzt zu gehen
But it would be better to go now

[Chorus]
Irgendwo da draußen
Out there somewhere
In einer andren Stadt
In another city
Gibt’s noch ein andres Leben, das ich hier jеtzt grad verpass’
Is there another life that I’m missing out on right now
Würd alles einmal tauschеn, alles was ich hab’
Would everything suddenly change, everything I have
Denn irgendwo da draußen, da liegst du jetzt grade wach
Because somewhere out there, you’re lying awake right now
Sag, liegst du jetzt grade wach?
Tell me, are you lying awake right now?
Sag, liegst du jetzt grade wach?
Tell me, are you lying awake right now?

[Bridge]
Bist du irgendwo da draußen?
Are you out there somewhere?
Bist du irgendwo da draußen?
Are you out there somewhere?
Oder renn’ ich nur ‘nem Schatten hinterher?
Or am I just running after a shadow?
Bist du irgendwo da draußen?
Are you out there somewhere?
Muss ich immer weiterlaufen?
Do I always have to keep running?
Oder renn’ ich nur ‘nem Schatten hinterher?
Or am I just running after a shadow?

[Chorus]
Irgendwo da draußen
Out there somewhere
In einer andren Stadt
In another city
Gibt’s noch ein andres Leben, das ich hier jеtzt grad verpass’
Is there another life that I’m missing out on right now

Would everything suddenly change, everything I have

Sag, liegst du jetzt grade wach?

Sag, liegst du jetzt grade wach?
Tell me, are you lying awake right now?
Oder renn’ ich nur ‘nem Schatten hinterher?
Or am I just running after a shadow?
Sag, liegst du jetzt grade wach?
Tell me, are you lying awake right now?
Bist du irgendwo da draußen?
Are you out there somewhere?
Sag, liegst du jetzt grade wach?
Tell me, are you lying awake right now?
