Westkreuz Lyrics in English Von Wegen Lisbeth

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Westkreuz by Von Wegen Lisbeth from German to English.
If my new app is right
I'll smoke ten fewer cigarettes today
That saves me two euros thirty
I can get four beers at Edeka
A lot will change
The kebab shop is now a hair salon
And you know nothing about it
But the elevator at Westkreuz
Still smells like piss
And you don't know
How much I miss you
And the elevator at Westkreuz
Still smells like piss
And you don't know
How much I miss you
Things are different now
Look at the bakery on the corner there
It's much more expensive now
But it used to be tastier
There are different places now
Where your Wi-Fi connects automatically
And where no one can find you
But the elevator at Westkreuz
Still smells like piss
And you don't know
How much I miss you
And the elevator at Westkreuz
Still smells like piss
And you don't know
How much I miss you
Outro
And the elevator at Westkreuz
Still smells like piss
And you don't know
How much I miss you
And the elevator at Westkreuz
Still smells like piss
And you don't know
How much I miss you
And the elevator at Westkreuz
Still smells like piss
And you don't know
How much I miss you

SONG MEANING

Welcome to Berlin’s S-Bahn jungle. In “Westkreuz,” Von Wegen Lisbeth paint a witty city-scape where everything keeps getting an upgrade: health apps promise fewer cigarettes, kebab shops turn into hair salons, even the local bakery inflates its prices. The singer races through these micro-observations with tongue-in-cheek humor, reminding us how fast urban life transforms—yet somehow never gets any better.

But one thing stubbornly refuses to change: the elevator at Westkreuz station still “smells like pee,” and amid that stale stench the narrator is hit by the freshest ache of all—missing someone who no longer shares these everyday scenes. The song spins a bittersweet joke: cities evolve, apps update, habits shift, but heartbreak clings like that unforgettable smell, impossible to mask or delete.
