“Spinner” is Revolverheld’s shout-out to everyone who has ever been called crazy for dreaming big. Verse by verse we meet ordinary people with extraordinary hopes: a bedroom rockstar who belts out songs to his mirror, a job-seeker who never stops sending résumés, a future world-traveler counting every coin, an aspiring Hollywood actress stuck in small-town roles, a would-be Elvis reborn, and a hard-working waitress saving for her own café. They may look stuck in routine jobs and small rooms, yet inside they are buzzing with plans too wild for the doubters around them.
The chorus flings the doors wide open: “Lass dein altes Leben hinter dir… das geht raus an alle Spinner!” Roughly, that means “Leave your old life behind… this one goes out to all the dreamers!” The song turns the German word Spinner (literally “nutcase”) into a badge of honor, insisting that these so-called oddballs are actually the winners. Limits? None. Timeline? From today, forever. It is an anthem for anyone who has saved pennies for a far-off trip, rehearsed in secret, or scribbled plans in the margins—proof that without daring dreamers like you and me, life would have no spark at all.
