Schwarze Rosen
Black Heaven feat. Mantus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Immerfort in meinem Herz
Und aus den blauen Himmeln
Entspringt der süße Schmerz
Ich lege meinen Kopf
Ganz sanft in ihren Schoß
Verloren ist die Heimat
Und so singe ich still in meinem Winterloch
Und Scharen von Engeln kommen zu mir herab
Auch wenn dort oben die Sterne tanzen
Tanze ich lieber hier unten mir dir
Eine schwarze Sonne glüht
Tiefe Sehnsucht mir ins Fleisch
Die Krone jeder Schöpfung
Erwacht in Einsamkeit
Du blickst mich an und legst
Deine Hand auf meine Faust
Und wir schreien unsere Liebe
In das Weltenall hinaus
Wir sind die Unglücklichen
Verdammt zu lieben was wir hassen
Die weiße Fee spricht im Schlaf
Wenn wir die Schlösser besetzt halten
Der Krieg hat begonnen
Und wir liegen faul auf unseren Barrikaden
Die Erde spaltet sich unter den Füßen
Und wir ziehen weiter Richtung Westen
Das Wunder der Geburt genießend
Bricht das Zepter entzwei
Wir sind die Unglücklichen
Verdammt zu wandeln in der Nacht
The lyrics of Schwarze Rosen by Black Heaven feat. Mantus describe a person's deep emotional pain brought about by unrequited love. The opening lines "Eine schwarze Rose blüht / Immerfort in meinem Herz" (A black rose blooms / Continuously in my heart) reveal that despite the pain, the individual cannot help but keep the memory of their loved one alive. The line "Und aus den blauen Himmeln / Entspringt der süße Schmerz" (And from the blue skies / Sprouts sweet pain) further emphasizes this feeling of emotional torment.
Throughout the song, the individual seeks comfort in the black rose that symbolizes their pain. They lay their head gently in her lap, suggesting a surrender to the situation. The line "Dein Lächeln sei mein Trost" (Your smile be my solace) shows that the person yearns for the return of the affections of the one they love, believing that their loved one's smile can heal their heartache. The chorus "Und so singe ich still in meinem Winterloch / Und Scharen von Engeln kommen zu mir herab / Auch wenn dort oben die Sterne tanzen / Tanze ich lieber hier unten mit dir" (And so I sing quietly in my winter hole / And swarms of angels come down to me / Even if the stars dance up there / I prefer to dance down here with you) depicts the individual's desire to remain in the present moment with their loved one, even though the rest of the celestial world may be dancing above them.
Overall, Schwarze Rosen tells a story of a person who is burdened by the pain of unrequited love, seeking solace and comfort in a powerful symbol of that pain, the black rose. By the end of the song, the person realizes that they are destined to walk alone in the night, forever held captive by their love for someone who will never love them in return.
