Imagine sending a postcard from a roller coaster instead of an office desk. That is exactly what Clueso does in “Achterbahn” (“Roller Coaster”). While family, friends, and society hand him a long to-do list—plant a tree, build a house, write radio hits, plan for grandchildren—he cheerfully waves from the whirling tracks of life and shouts: “Ich fahr immer noch ohne Plan!” He would rather enjoy the rush of spontaneity than tick off conventional milestones.
The song is a playful anthem for anyone who feels squeezed by other people’s expectations. Over a breezy beat, Clueso celebrates staying flexible, curious, and a little rebellious, choosing momentum over meticulous planning. “Achterbahn” reminds us that growth does not have to follow a blueprint; sometimes the best way to feel alive is to keep riding without a map, savoring every twist and turn.
