Eisbär

The speaker imagines becoming a polar bear, far away in the cold Arctic. They believe that as a bear they would no longer have to scream, and that everything would feel clear. The repeated lines make the wish sound both simple and deeply felt; by the end, the song narrows to the thought that polar bears never have to cry.

The “cold ice” and “cold Polar” suggest a distant, stark world, perhaps one that feels easier to understand than the speaker’s present life. Becoming a polar bear may be a fantasy of escape: a way to leave behind painful feelings or confusion. “Everything would be so clear” can mean that life would seem simpler, without the emotional troubles the speaker associates with being human.

The lyrics do not explain what causes the speaker’s distress, or whether the wish is playful, sad, or both. The claim that polar bears never cry is best understood as an imagined contrast, not a literal statement about animals. The repetition gives the words a chant-like quality, while also hinting that the wish may not solve the speaker’s feelings; it may simply offer a comforting picture to hold on to.
