Interpretation
The song 'Aufsteh'n, aufeinander zugeh'n' by
Kirchenlieder is a message about community, solidarity, and the desire for harmony and understanding among people.
In the first part, it is about the call to action ('We want to rise up'), to come together and learn from each other to enable better coexistence ('Approach each other, Learn from each other, Live together'). It encourages us not to run away when we don't understand something, but to strive for understanding and closeness ('And not move away, When we don't understand something').
The second part criticizes the time wasted in discussions and calls for action ('Too much time lying around, Too much discussion. It's time to move, It's time for something to happen').
In the third section, the beauty and importance of diversity are highlighted ('Everyone has something to contribute, This diversity is wonderful') and the creation of new songs and messages is called for to promote these values ('We want to sing new songs, New texts loud and clear').
The fourth section is about the realization that we are all guests in this world and that the survival of humanity depends on our shared life ('This world has been given to us, We are all guests here. If we don't live together, Humanity can only lose').
The last section emphasizes the need to actively work to turn strangers into neighbors and neighbors into friends ('That strangers become neighbors, That doesn't happen on its own. That neighbors become friends, That's what we strive for').
