Interpretation
The song 'Bauchgefühl' by
Julia Engelmann addresses the inner voice and intuition, often referred to as 'bauchgefühl', and the importance of listening to it and trusting it.
In the opening lines 'How long can one resist? Forbid oneself, despite everything, to listen to one's intuition?' the singer poses the question of how long one can fight against their intuition and ignore it, even though it often speaks the truth.
In the chorus lines 'I always knew, just didn't want to listen. Don't see you until I have to. I don't need another opinion, just need you for the decision. Finally got it, now I'd rather go with you', Julia Engelmann shows that she has realized that it is better to listen to her intuition rather than ignore it or fight against it.
The lines 'I've been racking my brain for years and shutting myself off from you more and more. What things have I never said? What people have I never met? What places have I never seen? Is it already too late for that?' could be a reflection on missed opportunities that arose from ignoring the bauchgefühl.
Overall, the song encourages to trust our intuition and follow it instead of ignoring it or fighting against it. It is a reminder that our bauchgefühl often knows best and can guide us if we allow it.
