The fourth guy is Malte Huck, he joined the band later on & left when the pandemic hit. But he was a part of the band for years. They started as a 3 member band in school.

Good morning! They take a line from Rainer Maria Rilke‘s (well known German poet 1875-1925) poem Der Panther (teachers‘ favourite): Ihm ist, als ob es tausend Stäbe gäbe und hinter tausend Stäben keine Welt. Where the panther lives in a zoo and goes numb running back and forth behind the bars. And he sees nothing else beyond the bars. Henning replaces Stäbe (bars) with Städte (towns/cities). It is as if there were thousand cities and beyond thousand cities no world. Maybe traveling/ touring with his band plays a role?

this is my take: Marie is the narrators (probably Hennings) late mother who he searches for in the sky among the birds. She can only watch him from heaven and misses his most important life experiences, like losing his best friend, falling in love, generally learning about hardship. Henning feels a deep need to share his ideas with her but at the same time he is cynical about the afterlife. „Birds shitting from the sky“ seems like the unromanticised reality of nature and death. The unresolved grief is trapping him (reference to Rilkes „Panther“) from exploring the world and looking foward to the future. Also his mothers name seems to be the only thing he can clearly remember an thus holds on to it very strongly. I am really enjoying your AMK reactions! You have a good ear for languages and great sensibility to tone and emotion!

I could totally buy this interpretation. I don't know much of Henning's mom, but he refers to her in many songs. Definitely a complex relationship there.

The lines with "passing by of the cities" are actually a refference to the poem 'Der Panther' by the famous german poet Rainer Maria Rilke. The OG is like: His gaze has been so worn from the procession of bars, that there is nothing it can hold. There are a thousand bars in his impression; and there behind a thousand bars, no world. ... if the translation works. It sounds way better in german 😉 Sein Blick ist vom Vorübergehn der Stäbe so müd geworden, daß er nichts mehr hält. Ihm ist, als ob es tausend Stäbe gäbe und hinter tausend Stäben keine Welt. Greetings from Berlin 🤓

I remember when I started listening to AMK, I knew only a bit of German (2 years of basic German in high school), but cuss words.. we knew them. And when this song started, I swear I thought: wait... did he really say "the birds are shitting from the sky"??? AND HE DID. (that's literally the opening line.) So, I did actually learn some proper German in school 😂
