Posthum
Der Weg einer Freiheit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fleischgewordene Gefühle durchströmen die klare Atmosphäre
Ziehen hinter sich her einen weißen Schweif von Schnee
Der langsam die Erde bedeckt und jeden Laut verschluckt
Das Gesicht der Welt verborgen unter grenzenlosem Weiss
So ziehe ich durch Wind und Frost
Rastlos entgegen dem ewigen Fluss der Zeit
Besiegelt vom Schicksal dieser totgeborenen Welt
Eine Festung - Uneinnehmbar vom Feinde Sturm
Ragen heute Ruinen aus der Asche empor
Die erinnern an die alten Zeiten
An das, was der Schnee uns nahm
An das, was wir einmal waren
Die Ruhe in unserem Geist
Die Hoffnung in unseren Augen
Die Wärme in unserem Herzen
Der Traum vom Menschsein
Erloschen
Unerreichbar
Und
Verloren
The lyrics of "Posthum" by Der Weg einer Freiheit reflect on the cyclical nature of time and the impermanence of human existence. The dream mentioned in the first verse is born out of the cold and represents the fleeting moments of warmth and emotions that are rare in a cold and desolate world. The imagery of snow and the white trail it leaves behind alludes to the idea of a blank slate, where everything that was once there is lost or forgotten. The face of the world is hidden underneath the boundless white, representing the suppression of life and the constant battle against time. The singer continues to wander aimlessly through the wind and frost, indicating a sense of hopelessness and futility in trying to overcome the inevitable passage of time.
The second verse refers to a fortress that was once impenetrable, but now lies in ruins. This fortress symbolizes the strength and unity that humanity once had but lost due to the harshness of life. The snow took away what made them human, which was their spirit, hope, and warmth. The lyrics suggest that these qualities are now extinct and unattainable, and the dream of being human is forever lost. The chorus ends the song on a melancholic note, emphasizing the loss and inability to recover what was once lost.
