Die Welt auf links, lyric video sample

Style and material

Come on, let’s turn the world inside out: no plan, no goal, and every doubt gets lighter once you laugh. “Die Welt auf links” is a German song full of restless, happy energy. A pop-art comic: halftone dots, a neon city in the rain, a starburst speech bubble, polished shoes and a globe on the pavement. The lyrics are lettered like comic-book art, inside the scene, in white with bright colour shadows. The comic style comes from the title’s upside-down idea, and the lettering sits in the scene instead of on a caption bar.

About this clip

Die Welt auf links is a 30-second lyric video sample for a song in German.

Visual style: colorful pop-art comic lettering. Colorful pop-art comics: the lyrics are lettered like comic-book art, right inside the scene.

Why this look: the lyrics are lettered like comic-book art inside the scene.

Across the clip: Every scene is drawn as a loud pop-art comic panel with halftone dots, star bursts and neon pink, blue and yellow. Dancing feet in shiny shoes splash through a rainy night street under a lamp post, a big globe sits in front of a city skyline, and a record player spins under a glowing heart. Later the dancers fill a ballroom with a chequered floor and a mirror ball, and the clip ends with two hands holding on a train platform.

The first and the last line of the clip:

“Komm, wir drehen die Welt auf links”
“Und ich lass dich heut nicht los”

Lyrics (caption text)

The same text as the captions of the video.

Komm, wir drehen die Welt auf links
Bis der Morgen die Fenster küsst
Du und ich, kein Plan, kein Ziel
Nur ein Herz, das den Takt versteht
Komm, wir drehen die Welt auf links
Jeder Zweifel verliert sein Gewicht
Wenn du lachst, wird der Raum riesengroß
Und ich lass dich heut nicht los
