The lyrics of the song "The Lightness of Being" by
Udo Jürgens describe the special moments in life when one feels free and carefree. On such days, the burden of worries and fears seems to have disappeared. One feels reborn and floats into the wonderful. The text emphasizes the lightness of these moments, which weigh more than all negativity and burdens.
The lines convey the feeling of liberation and happiness. One breathes deeply from the depths of the soul and feels how the chest and throat open. These moments are like feathers, light yet of infinite weight. They bring a radiant smile to the face and make the heart open wide in the boundless.
The text also makes it clear that this lightness of being is permeated by the sun and the warm hands of light. It is suggested that everything will end well and one feels safe. The lightness of being is a state in which one feels at one with oneself and everything around them.
