Style
Annett Louisan plays a wide variety of music with blues, soul, jazz and swing. The lyrics of her songs are mostly about love, failure and disappointment. Annett Louisan is one of the few German artists who have obtained a high-profile with chanson-style songs. Apart from Louisan's own musical interpretation this is due to the lyrics of her producer, Frank Ramond, as well as the compositions of her songwriters, Hardy Kayser and Matthias Hass. Her lyrics also deal with the politicized issues of female self-conception and societal roles, creating a complex ambivalence. This became most apparent with her first single Das Spiel. In this song roles with contrary approaches to sexuality and interpersonal relationships (i.e. the child, the woman and the emancipated career) are combined. Musically, her second album moves away from pop and concentrates more on the French-German chanson-tradition. Bal-musette, Tango and Bossa Nova rhythms give the songs diversity. Unobtrusive backings allow the often breathy voice of Louisan to remain prominent.

Died in your Arms
Annett Louisan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way
To get out of this
Her diary sits by the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cat's in her cradle
Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this?
Oh-oh-oh, whoa
I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh-oh-oh, whoa
I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away
I should've walked away
Is there any just 'cause for feeling like this?
On the surface, I'm a name of the list, I try to be discreet
But then blow it again
I've lost and found, it's my final mistake
She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy
One too many times
Oh-oh-oh, whoa
I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh-oh-oh, whoa
I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away
I should've walked away
It was a long hot night
She made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it's over, the moment is gone
I followed my hands, not my head
I know I was wrong
I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh-oh-oh, whoa
I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away
I should've walked away

In the final verse, the singer reflects on a passionate night with the other person, emphasizing that it felt right at the time. However, they now see that they followed their desires instead of using their better judgment. They admit to being wrong and express the regret of not walking away from this destructive relationship.

But now it's over, the moment is gone
However, it is now finished, and the opportunity has passed
I followed my hands, not my head
I relied on emotions instead of rational thinking
I know I was wrong
I am aware that I made a mistake
I, I just died in your arms tonight
Once again, I have experienced tremendous emotional pain in your embrace
It must've been something you said
Your words must have had a significant impact on my emotional state
I just died in your arms tonight
Once again, I have suffered emotionally in your embrace
Oh-oh-oh, whoa
Expressing surprise or astonishment
I, I just died in your arms tonight
Once again, I have experienced immense pain in your embrace
It must've been some kind of kiss
Your kiss must have had a profound impact on me
I should've walked away
I should have chosen to remove myself from the circumstances
I should've walked away
I should have left the situation
