Monument
Der Weg einer Freiheit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Zwischen Schein und Wirklichkeit
Entlasse mich in den langersehnten Traum
Und in die vielleicht letzte Freiheit
Die ich dieser Tage doch so sehr vermisse
Lass mich im tiefsten
Schlafe ewig weiterleben
Nun wander ich in Sekunden zur See
Und auf den höchsten Berg
Schaue wie von außen durch ein
Fеnster auf die Welt
Sеh all die Andern leben
Zu Hauf und doch für sich allein
Auch wie ich, auch nur ein Punkt
Auch nur ein Stück Wirklichkeit
Erdrückt vom Gewicht unsrer
Unteilbaren Schätze
Wird uns das Leben Stück für Stück genommen
Und ich kehre mich ab
Ich richte meinen Blick dem Kosmos entgegen
Seh die Zeichen, die Sterne, die Wirklichkeit
Verborgen vor der Welt erricht
Ich hier ein Monument
The lyrics of "Monument" by Der Weg einer Freiheit explore themes of escapism, longing for freedom, and introspection. The song begins with the desire to return to the world, but it quickly becomes clear that the singer is disillusioned with the superficiality and falsehoods of reality. They yearn for a long-awaited dream and perhaps their last chance at true freedom, which they deeply miss in their daily life.
The lyrics then shift to a more introspective perspective. The singer envisions themselves wandering at sea and on the highest mountain, observing the world from the outside as if looking through a window. They see others living in abundance, yet each person is ultimately alone, just like themselves. They recognize that even they are just a small part of reality, weighed down by the burdens of our indivisible treasures. Life is taken from us piece by piece, which leads the singer to turn away from the world and direct their gaze towards the cosmos.
In the final lines, the singer sees the signs, the stars, and the reality hidden from the world. Here, they erect a monument, a symbol of their personal journey and introspection. This monument represents their rejection of the superficiality and falsehoods of the world, and their embrace of the deeper truths that lie beyond.

Joseph Bastidas
SO many great riffs just in this song alone. I can only imagine what the rest of the album will be like.
RipCity Raider
this drummer is so good. the whole band is but the drummer is has impressive stamina
Kleber Fainer
@Benjamin Bugl Exactly! Their drummer is absolute pure technique, it's pure finger work, even his arms doesn't move that much... nonetheless, he still need to have a good physical preparation, because there both legs and it is not easy to perform full concerts playing like this with no proper physical preparation.
Benjamin Bugl
it's really not that much stamina. it's technique. he doesn't really use a lot of strength at all. look at his left hand in the blast beat. nearly no movement except his fingers. this is even more impressive than stamina.
Baal☆
Per me uno dei migliori batteristi al mondo....Bravissimo !!.
Lucas Schacht
Nikita rasiert einfach alles. Der Rest der Band auch absolute Bestien. \m/
