Erwachen
Agrypnie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Gleissend schneidend kaltes Licht
Feindlich naht das Morgengrauen
Morpheus′ Reich in Trümmern
Wirklichkeit durchbricht den Frieden
Wieder einer dieser Tage
An dem die Welt in Scherben liegt
Wieder einer dieser Tage
An dem Leere deinen Geist in Ketten legt
Karge Luft, du ringst um Atem
Bleischwer lastet das Bewusstsein
Grau in grau dies triste Dasein
Haltlos stürzt du in den Abgrund
Wieder einer dieser Tage
An dem die Zeit in Stillstand harrt
Wieder einer dieser Tage
An dem Wahnsinn sich deines Geistes bemächtigt
Dein Wille in Gefangenschaft
Der Puls schweigt still in deiner Brust
Welk erlischt der letzte Lebensfunke
Schleppend naht der Untergang
Totenbleich, dein Körper zittert
Fiebrig rinnt der kalte Schweiss
Chaos lässt die Sinne irren
Finster dein einst lichtes Wesen
Wieder einer dieser Tage
An dem die letzte Hoffnung fällt
Wieder einer dieser Tage
An dem Lüge deinen Geist in Ohnmacht zwingt
Teilnahmslos zerbricht dein Alltag
Betäubt vom Nichts siechst du dahin
Der Weg zurück längst unpassierbar
Und drohend naht der nächste Morgen
Wieder einer dieser Tage
An dem die Welt in Scherben liegt




Wieder einer dieser Tage
An dem Schmerz deinen Geist begräbt

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Erwachen" by Agrypnie describe a person's struggle to find meaning and hope amidst an overwhelming sense of despair and chaos. The opening line paints a stark picture of the cold, cutting light of dawn which heralds the arrival of another day of inner turmoil. The dream world of Morpheus has been shattered, and harsh reality breaks through the peace of sleep. The songwriter speaks of how this is "one of those days" where the world is in pieces and emptiness and despair are wearing down the singer's spirit. The air is thin and the weight of consciousness is heavy. Life seems bleak and pointless, and the singer feels like they are falling into an abyss.


As the song progresses, the sense of hopelessness only becomes stronger. The singer's will is captive, and they feel like they are dying as their body weakens and their mind becomes consumed by madness. The last vestiges of light in their being fade away, leaving them in darkness. The cycle continues as the next morning approaches ominously, carrying with it the same sense of despair and chaos.
