Laß Mich In Ruhe!
Nina Hagen · Other Songs - Nina Hagen
they made me this way
everyone's against me,
they'll be sorry one day
lass mich in ruhe, leave me alone
lass mich, lass mich in ruhe
leave me, leave me alone
lass mich, lass mich in ruhe
ignoranten, seht sie euch an one by one
alles mutanten, spoiling my fun
lass mich in ruhe, leave me alone
lass mich, lass mich in ruhe
leave me, leave me alone
lass mich, lass mich in ruhe
helmut, ich hasse dich
du machst mich krank
aber ich passe nicht,
gott sei dank bin ich punk
lass mich in ruhe, leave me alone
lass mich, lass mich in ruhe
leave me, leave me alone
lass mich, lass mich in ruhe
lass mich in ruhe, leave me alone
lass mich, lass mich in ruhe
leave me, leave me alone
lass mich, lass mich in ruhe
Laß Mich In Ruhe!
Nina Hagen's 1985 track 'Laß Mich In Ruhe!' stands as a defining anthem of the Berlin punk and new wave scene. Recorded during her prolific period with the band Die Toten Hagen, the song exemplifies her signature style: a fusion of aggressive rock energy, theatrical vocal delivery, and sharp social commentary. Released in the mid-1980s, the recording captures the raw, unpolished aesthetic that characterized the city's underground music culture at the time. The lyrics, delivered with her trademark intensity, reflect a defiant attitude toward authority and societal norms, themes central to Hagen's public persona and artistic output throughout the decade. As a staple of her discography, the song remains a powerful representation of the era's alternative rock movement and Hagen's enduring influence on German-language pop music.
