Song Meaning of “Ich muss immer an dich denken” by SDP
‘Ich muss immer an dich denken’ (I Always Think of You) is a song about the power of love and longing it can have over us. The lyrics tell a story of a man in love with someone he cannot have, yet despite his feelings of sorrow he cannot help but always think of his lost love.
The song starts with the man reflecting upon how he never got to say goodbye, and how his heart is aching with a longing for his lover that will never be fulfilled. Despite his feelings of loss, he holds on to his memories with his departed beloved and cherishes them, all his love and sorrow contained within them.
As the song continues, the man describes his love with painful but beautiful imagery. He compares it to an old sepia-toned photograph, missing its colours and tainted with time, of an adored memory that will never fade. He laments that he could not have stayed longer with his beloved, but still experiences the same feeling of comfort and longing that he did when they were together.
The chorus offers a moment of hope – the man realises that even though his love is bittersweet, he will never forget the one he loves. This embrace to the bittersweetness of love leads to the song’s conclusion, that despite the pain and grief, he is still in love with his lost one, always thinking of them, even in his darkest hours.
The song is a beautiful and raw testament to the power of love, and the way it can stay with us even after the person is gone.
