Lichtsucher
Centhron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ein Wanderer in Dunkelheit
Ist der Hass der Stürme fängt
Auf einen Weg der ewig scheint
Die Lust am Fleisch ist ungebrochen
Das Ziel ist weit und stark der Schmerz
Blut rinnt aus dem Kind der Tränen
Der Horizont wird weiß
Das Augenlicht von Staub bedeckt
Nie wieder eine Sicht
Es sucht das Licht
Immerwährend kalte Angst
Es steht still und fählt die Kraft
Es wächst die Macht, der Gott entsteht
Und stolz das C auf seiner Fahne weht
In Centhron's song "Lichtsucher," the singer describes the journey of a wanderer in darkness who is consumed by the desire for flesh and power. The first verse speaks of a gaze that cannot see, indicating a blindness that goes beyond the physical. The wanderer is surrounded by darkness and storms that fuel their hate, and they are on a path that seems never-ending. The lust for flesh is insatiable, and the pain is strong but desirable. The use of "child" may symbolize innocence or purity, which is tainted by the wanderer's journey in the sound of hate. In the end, the wanderer dies, consumed by their own darkness.
The second verse of the song discusses the search for light, which is an ongoing theme throughout the piece. The horizon becomes white, and the wanderer's eyes are covered in dust, indicating that they cannot see the light. The use of "immerwährend kalte Angst" (everlasting cold fear) suggests that the wanderer is aware of their hopeless situation but feels helpless in its face. The wanderer's strength fails them, and they become powerless as a god arises, with the proud "C" flying on its flag.
Overall, "Lichtsucher" is a dark and harrowing song that explores the themes of powerlessness, self-destruction, and the search for light in the darkness.
