Discover the story of the song > Nicht Wecken Heute – Alligatoah

The lyrics of the song "Nicht wecken (Heute)" talk about a person who is in pain and doesn't want to bother anyone, including his partner. He has an injury on his foot and doesn't call an ambulance because he doesn't want to disturb the natural flow of things. He orders a beer but gets a glass of urine instead. He lies down while his colleagues make him tea, but he refuses it because he feels too ashamed. He apologizes to his partner for accidentally getting her shirt dirty.
The chorus expresses the protagonist's regret for disturbing his partner's sleep when he was being chased by demons. In the second verse, he takes the blame for a conflict and tries to protect those around him from emotional pain by keeping silent. The bridge reminds the listener that they are grown-ups and can handle things without crying. The song ends with the protagonist expressing his regret for waking his partner up, but now that she is awake, he will show her a little more of himself.
