Schwarze Fee
Centhron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Der Mond verziert das Angesicht
Das Kind liegt tot im Mutterarm
Sie weint und hält es warm
Die Treppe führt ins Bunkerreich
Stahlbeton vom Tod geeicht
Weisser Nebel tötet Mensch
Weisser Rausch im Sturm entfacht
Asche die den Fluss verlacht
Das Wasser spürt den sanften Schnee
Es empfängt die schwarze Fee
Sei still und lausche der Qual
Sie führt den Geist hinab ins Tal
Wo die Birke das Lager verzückt
Wo der Tod den Toten schmückt
The lyrics of Centhron's song "Schwarze Fee" are difficult to interpret without any context. However, it seems to describe a morbid and gruesome scene of death and destruction. The opening lines talk about a ramp in pale light and a mother holding her dead child while weeping. The imagery used and the context seem to suggest that this is a war scene, where the child has been killed, and the mother is mourning her loss. The moon symbolizes the eerie silence that encompasses the area after the violence has taken place.
The second stanza talks about a bunker that leads to a realm of death, and the concrete is marked with the remnants of those who have died. A white mist kills people, and their sense of self burns out with their death. In the third stanza, the song talks about a white storm and the mockery that ashes make of flowing water. Black despair takes over as the death comes to claim the souls of the deceased. The phrase "Schwarze Fee" can be translated as the "black fairy," which appears to be a metaphor for death that visits those who have fallen in battle. The final stanza refers to listening to the screams of pain and misery that follow and how death takes the soul to the valley of death. The birch enchantingly embraces the bodies as death decorates the dead.
Overall, Centhron's "Schwarze Fee" is an intense and morbid song that talks about the horrors of war and the despair and hopelessness it brings forth. The lyrics are a poetic representation of death and the destruction that follows. The song paints a vivid picture of the destruction war leaves behind, and the innocent people who lose their lives.
