Oh, this is a weird song and very sad. I don't know what it means but I want to throw in some new aspects. When you hear it and when you are German, than "where is the leader who leads me?" is a very.. vell.. a phrase like it is to everyone, whereas "wo ist der führer der mich führt" (which means exactly the same) sounds very negative, reminding of Hitler, who called himself Führer. I don't think that it is a coincidence, that the German term is used first after the war is mentioned. I think the song is about someone being lost, not knowing where to go, what to think, whom to follow. He is looking for someone to guide him, but we know, that this can absolutely go wrong (see Hitler). God doens't seem to be a big help. He watches and divides a lot of things from others but does not take the role of the leader.. nor does anyone else. It is all to ourselves to decide what is right and what is wrong.
