Buried Alive
Bombenalarm Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eingeschweißt in Metall und Beton
Vergraben in Alltags-Zeit und Privileg
Und Privileg
Ertragen wir geduldig
Die Einsamkeit unserer domestizierten Gräber
Unserer Gräber
No need to be commanded
We buried ourselves alive
Our comfort is our coffin
We buried ourselves alive
Beigesetzt in blinder Akzeptanz
Die Stimme zertrümmert
Gehorsam bis zum letzten Moment
Bis zum letzten Moment
Um uns die Freiheit zu rauben
Brauchen wir schon lange keine Gitter mehr
Keine Gitter mehr
Now our world is secure
We buried ourselves alive
Alive
Each nation a graveyard
We buried ourselves alive
Alive
We buried ourselves alive
Alive
Alive
We buried ourselves alive
Alive




Alive
We buried ourselves alive

Overall Meaning

The song "Buried Alive" by Bombenalarm deals with themes of confinement, oppression, and control. The first verse describes being encapsulated in metal and concrete and buried in the mundane routine of everyday life that offers familiar comforts but ultimately results in isolation and loneliness. The second verse speaks of blind acceptance and obedience leading to the loss of freedom, which does not necessarily require physical confinement in a prison but can exist within the mental confines of our own minds. The chorus emphasizes how we have buried ourselves alive, not being forced into this state but willingly doing so in exchange for a false sense of security and privilege.


The lyrics are powerful and thought-provoking, presenting a bleak picture of the modern world and the dangers of becoming too comfortable and complacent in our lives. It's a call to action, urging listeners to break free from the constraints that hold them back and to demand true freedom and autonomy.
