Discover the story of the song > Das Beste – Georg Kreisler

The protagonist is unsure if he is alive or dead. He feels disconnected from life and believes he is in control of his own fate, which makes others happy. He thinks that not knowing if he is dead or alive is the best thing because it allows him to feel weightless and free. He sees the world as vast and beautiful, but also believes that nothing can really happen. He mentions a girl that he sees every day, but if he were to follow her, he would lose himself and face his own guilt and flaws. He believes it is best to not know if he is alive or dead because it prevents him from facing his own judgment and allows him to avoid the negativity in his own life.
