Sehnsucht
Black Heaven Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mein Herz stirbt tausend Tode
Von der Welt so weit entfernt
Schaff es nicht dich zu erreichen
Hab dich nie verstehen gelernt
Mein Traum ist aufzuwachen
Will die Freiheit nicht geschenkt
Kenn dich seit so vielen Jahren
Doch du bist mir noch immer fremd

Manchmal kann ich nichts mehr fühlen
Keine Freude an der Welt verspüren
Es gibt nicht viel was mir noch bleibt
Doch die Angst, die Angst ist Wirklichkeit

Ich vermisse dich so sehr...

Ich tanzte auf den Strassen
War gefangen im Augenblick
Hinter mir schlossen sich die Türen
Und dann gab es kein zurück
Deine Hand zeigt in die Sterne
Für den Tod ist es zu spät

Gibt es keinen Weg nach Hause
Wenn die Seele Trauer trägt

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Black Heaven feat. Mantus's song Sehnsucht portray a deep sense of longing and disconnect from the world. The singer expresses their struggle to connect with someone they have known for many years, highlighting the feeling of being a stranger to someone they should feel comfortable around. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation to connect with this person and a desire for freedom. Additionally, the lyrics touch upon the theme of feeling numb and disconnected with the world around us, where joy seems to be an unattainable emotion. The final stanza speaks about the feeling of being stuck in a moment where we can't go back, and questioning if there is a way out of the sadness that one carries in their soul.

The use of metaphors in the song is quite remarkable as it enhances the depth and intensity of the emotions the lyrics intend to portray. The opening stanza, where the singer speaks about dying a thousand deaths, conveys a sense of immense pain and suffering, further emphasizing the feeling of disconnect. The line "Ich tanzte auf den Strassen" translates to "I danced on the streets", which can be understood as a metaphor for being free and careless until the moment when the door closes behind, trapping them. The final line, "Wenn die Seele Trauer trägt," translates to "When the soul carries sorrow," conveys the weight of the heaviness that the singer carries with them.
