Interpretation
The lyrics of
Roland Kaiser's 'Ich glaub' es geht schon wieder los' are a passionate portrayal of love rekindling and the fear of falling in love again. The singer describes how he tried to stay alone and not be obligated to have feelings for someone, as in the lines 'Ich hab' mir geschwor'n: Jetzt bleib' ich allein / Um keinem Gefühl verpflichtet zu sein'. Despite his previous determination not to fall in love, he finds himself surprised by the love reemerging when he encounters someone who ignites his feelings. This is described in the lines 'Doch irgendwann ist mal wieder alles zu spät / Wenn eine wie du auf einmal vor einem steht'.
The repeated line 'Ich glaub' es geht schon wieder los' represents the return of his feelings and the fear of losing control. At the same time, it also shows the joy and vibrant feeling that comes with being in love.
In the verse 'Am Morgen danach liegst du neben mir / Ich spüre die Angst / Daß ich dich verlier'', he expresses his fear of loss and hurt. The lines 'Du hast mir gezeigt / Wie nachts die Sonne aufgeht' and 'Und Hals über Kopf Vernunft in Lust übergeht' illustrate the intense feelings and strong desire he feels for his new love.
Finally, the singer questions whether his new love has the same intense feelings for him and whether she wants more than just a game without a goal, expressing the desire for a real, deep relationship.
