Song Meaning of “Alles richtig” by Olli Schulz
The melancholy and introspective song “Alles Richtig” by Olli Schulz speaks to the feelings of confusion and doubt that come with trying to figure out life’s meaning. Through bitterly honest lyrics, Schulz expresses his feelings of isolation as he questions the decisions he has made and doubts his own path in life: “Am Ende stehe ich da und weiß nicht was heut richtig ist.” (In the end I stand here, not knowing what’s right today).
Schulz also talks about how his dreams and ambitions have not come to fruition as he had hoped, creating a sense of frustration and powerlessness “Ist der Weg flies wenn er nirgends hinführt?“ (Is the path still true, if it leads nowhere?). He further ponders his purpose and how it fits into a bigger picture. Feeling overwhelmed by the infinite possibilities and unsure of how to make sense of them, Schulz finds himself caught in an existential struggle of uncertainty.
Determined to make sense of it all and to find his place within this grand universe, Schulz searches for a sense of purpose, but “wenn es keinen [Gott] gibt, dann suche ich ihn.” (if there is no God, then I will search for Him). Throughout the song, Schulz finds himself stuck in a cycle of struggle and acceptance as he tries to make sense of it all, ultimately questioning and analyzing his own life choices to find a sense of peace and clarity.
