Interpretation
In the lyrics of the song 'Alle Wege' by the
Puhdys, it is about a person who longs for freedom and a different kind of happiness, but still doesn't want to live without the beloved person. The person feels strong enough to break free and take new paths, but always ends up in a circle and returns to the loved one. The lines 'I love you and want to be free, I run away from you - your laughter catches me (again)' show that the person longs for freedom, but is always drawn back by the love and laughter of the beloved person.
