Alle Märchen sind gelogen invites us into a dream-like free fall where childhood fairy tales crumble and reality pulls like gravity. Jolle looks up at the stars even after admitting they died long ago, capturing that bittersweet mix of wonder and disillusionment we feel when we learn the world is messier than the stories promised. Lines about Rapunzel’s greying hair and Peter Pan finally growing up show how every “happily ever after” can run out of magic, yet the singer keeps searching for a place higher than the sky—a place that may not exist, but still fuels hope.
Rather than surrendering, the song embraces contradiction: floating “two feet above the ground for safety,” lighting up cloud nine while knowing it might burn out, and believing the world isn’t lost even if proof is scarce. It’s a soaring indie-pop anthem for anyone who balances cynicism with a stubborn desire to dream, reminding us that even when fairy tales lie, looking up can still lift us beyond the weight of everyday life.
