Lyrics & Translation

Learning German with 'Angst' by Die Nerven offers a unique opportunity to connect with the language on an emotional level. The song's direct and repetitive lyrics about the universal feeling of anxiety make it accessible for learners, while its raw post-punk energy provides a window into a significant part of contemporary German music culture. It's a special song because it's both sonically powerful and lyrically vulnerable.

[English]
I am afraid of events,
Fears of situations
Although I know that these fears
Are not worth it at all
Are you hiding?
Or are you turning away?
Are you hiding?
Or are you turning away?
Are you hiding?
Or are you turning away?
Are you hiding?
Or are you turning away?
Things are happening in my head
That no one understands, that no one wants to understand
Things are happening in my head
That no one understands, that no one wants to understand
Things are happening in my head
That no one understands, that no one wants to understand
Things are happening in my head
That no one understands, that no one wants to understand
Are you hiding?
Or are you turning away?
Are you hiding?
Or are you turning away?
Are you hiding?
Or are you turning away?
Are you hiding?
Or are you turning away?
