Farewell
Deine Lakaien Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cannot turn my head to see
where my home was meant to be
something steady follows me
Forcing me to keep on track
no chance to retrace my steps
Trees as far as eyes can see
something steady follows me ...
Farewell, farewell, my own true love
blurred are the fields, we've been dreaming of
hazy the days I tried to foretell
farewell, my love, farewell
Wooden soldiers in a line
fix the law for thee and thine
wooden soldiers in a row
ordering me where I must go
Walls that never let me free
impervious to leniency
captured under a frozen spell
striding through the gates of hell
striding through the gates of hell
farewell, farewell ...
The lyrics of Deine Lakaien's song "Farewell" explore the theme of leaving behind the life one has known and stepping into the unknown. The singer sets out on a journey, unable to turn back and view what they have left behind. There is a sense of something constant following the singer, pushing them to stay on the path they have chosen, regardless of any doubts or hesitations. The trees in the landscape around them seem endless, but this steady force remains ever-present.
As the singer moves forward, they encounter "wooden soldiers in a line" who enforce the law and direct the singer's path. The walls that surround them feel impenetrable, and the singer feels trapped in a state of frozen numbness. The lyrics have a solemn tone, reflecting the uncertainty and difficulty of the journey that lies ahead. The chorus echoes a bittersweet farewell, a goodbye to a past that is now blurred and hazy, and the promise of a future that remains unknown.
Overall, the song "Farewell" reflects the difficulty and pain of leaving behind the familiar and stepping into the unknown. It speaks to the universal human experience of leaving one's comfort zone and embracing new challenges.

Set out for incertainty
Starting a journey into the unknown
cannot turn my head to see
No looking back, no regret
where my home was meant to be
No fixed direction, no set destination
something steady follows me
A constant presence, providing direction and purpose
Forcing me to keep on track
Motivating me to stay focused and determined
no chance to retrace my steps
No turning back, no second-guessing
Trees as far as eyes can see
Endless possibilities and opportunities
Farewell, farewell, my own true love
Saying goodbye to a loved one and a familiar life
blurred are the fields, we've been dreaming of
The future is uncertain and blurry, far from what we imagined
hazy the days I tried to foretell
The past is a distant memory, unable to predict or change it
Wooden soldiers in a line
Rigid, inflexible rules and expectations
fix the law for thee and thine
Enforcing strict, unyielding standards
wooden soldiers in a row
Following orders and conforming to authority
ordering me where I must go
Being directed towards a certain path, without any choice
Walls that never let me free
Being trapped and restricted by outside influences
impervious to leniency
Unwilling to allow any flexibility or mercy
captured under a frozen spell
Feeling stuck and helpless, unable to break free from circumstances
striding through the gates of hell
Enduring hardship and difficulty, persevering through challenges

Set out for incertanity
Cannot turn my head to see
Where my home was meant to be
Something steady follows me
Forcing me to keep on track
No chance to retrace my steps
Trees as far as eyes can see
Something steady follows me...
Farewell, farewell my own true love
Blurred are the fields, we've been dreaming
Of hazy the days I tried to foretell
Farewell, my love, farewell
Wooden soldiers in a line
Fix the law for thee and thine
Wooden soldiers in a row
Ordering me where I must go
Walls that never let me free
Impervious to leniency
Captured under a frozen spell
Strinding through the gates of hell...
Farewell, farewell my own true love
Blurred are the fields, we've been dreaming
Of hazy the days I tried to foretell
Farewell, my love, farewell...

I thought my spotify weekly list had gone a bit crazy when I heard the start of it, with a weird german band and a odd song, but nope it had not. The chorus won me over right away and I love it more and more each time, and have now started to discover a lot of other great songs from the band.

I have discovered their music thanks to YouTube random mixing few months ago and I am truly grateful.. I am completely enamoured with their music. I have been listening to white lies, kasmodiah and single songs like this on repeat..

Wieder ein schöner Song. Ich höre die Lakaien schon seit ca. 1998, und es wird niemals langweilig. Sie gehören zu den seltenen Spezies, deren Musik wirklich in die Tiefe geht und meine Seele und Gemütsverfassung anspricht. Einer meiner Lieblingsgruppen.

+Sonja Schulze Bei mir genau das Gleiche - selbst die Jahreszahl stimmt :)

bei mir das gleiche .. ich wurde hart reformiert von meiner damaligen Freundin (auch 98) und hänge seit dem an den Lakaien und ich respektiere es sehr das sie sich nicht wegen dem kurzfristigen billigen Ruhm dem Komerz anheim geschmissen haben. Lakaien sind Liebe und hohe Kunst.
