Centhron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Warum sollte das Leben nach dem Tod anders sein?
Das Leben ist herzlos
Astraler Sturm auf hoher See
Ein herzloser toter Geist
Verliebt in eine kleine Fee
Tausend Leichen tanzen nackt
An fahlen Mondgestaden
Es treibt sie Blutgeschmack
Aus dem die Fische lasen
Das Leben ist herzlos
Warum sollte das Leben nach dem Tod anders sein?
Das Leben ist herzlos
Vendetta weht wie kalter Hass
Es ist sein klarer Wahn
Die Augen tot und blass
Eine Stimme schreit Orkan
Orkan
Die See speit ihren Samen
Auf sein ewig nasses Grab
An dem sich Meerjungfrauen laben
Sie werden feucht an seinem Sarg
Vendetta weht wie kalter Hass
Es ist sein klarer Wahn
Die Augen tot und blass
Eine Stimme schreit Orkan
Orkan
The lyrics of Centhron's "Orkan" express a nihilistic and fatalistic view of life and death. The opening lines "Das Leben ist herzlos / Warum sollte das Leben nach dem Tod anders sein?" mean "Life is heartless / Why should life be any different after death?" The idea is that life has no inherent meaning or purpose, and death does not bring any kind of redemption or transcendence. The reference to a "heartless astral storm" and a "dead spirit" suggest a bleak and eerie atmosphere, where even love and desire are twisted and perverse ("A small fairy biting his balls"). The image of a thousand naked corpses dancing by the pale moonlit shores evokes a sense of macabre celebration, where death and decay are accepted as natural and inevitable. The chorus repeats the line "Life is heartless" as a kind of mantra, emphasizing the song's main theme of existential despair. The final verse introduces the motif of vendetta, suggesting that the singer seeks revenge or retribution for some past transgression, but without any hope of finding meaning or redemption ("A voice screams Orkan").
Overall, the lyrics of "Orkan" are a reflection of the darker and more nihilistic side of industrial metal music, but they also touch upon some universal themes of human suffering and mortality.
