Discover the story of the song > Die Wüste lebt – Peter Schilling

The protagonist sings about how after thousands of years, the Earth is fed up with humans and decides to shut down the computers and give up on giving them oxygen. The first mistake causes a chain reaction, and the seismograph shows that there's a problem. Meanwhile, the protagonist urges people to pay attention and fight for something before it's too late, as the sun remains motionless in the sky and the beauty industry adapts to the new weather. The electronics start to malfunction and the heat becomes unbearable, but the scientist is still puzzled and asks for patience. The sun burns hotter than ever, the desert shakes, and the air vibrates.
