Monolith
Die Heart Lyrics

The lyrics to Die Heart's song "Monolith" convey a sense of frustration and feeling trapped in a monotonous and repetitive routine. The singer finds themselves sitting in the same place again, under the gaze of a large clock, realizing that it is almost half past three and questioning why they are still there.

They feel small and insignificant in comparison to the world around them, akin to the biblical story of David against Goliath. The singer had just wanted to break free from their current situation, to make a change or take a chance.

The repetition of the phrase "Ich seh dich" ("I see you") indicates that the singer has someone in mind, someone they recognize and are familiar with. However, they also acknowledge that this person will remain unchanged and true to themselves, despite the circumstances.

The person being referred to is described as unbreakable, like a monolith - a large, solid, and unchanging structure. This imagery suggests that no matter what challenges or obstacles come their way, they will remain strong and resilient.

In the second verse, the singer describes the daily grind they go through, with each second feeling like Monday morning and every day blending together. They feel suffocated and crave an escape from the mundane worries of everyday life. The repetition of "Ich hab's euch doch gesagt" ("I told you") suggests that the singer may have expressed their desire for change before, but it has fallen on deaf ears.

The mention of a desired house by the lake, which will remain until the earth shakes, symbolizes a place of bliss and tranquility that seems unattainable within their current situation.

The final lines reiterate the idea that no matter what happens, the person the singer addresses will not break down or give up. Even when there seems to be no way out, they will remain steadfast and unyielding.
