Eispalast
Eisregen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In tristen Morgenlicht
Gesichter voller Leben
Die Erinnerung an sie getrübt
Hier oben sind es viele
Ihre Namen längst versiegt
Hier oben ist die Luft wie Eis ...
Bei Tag habe ich gemordet
Und nachts war ich bei dir
Manche fallen auf die Knie
Ich weiß nicht mehr wofür
Bei Tag war ich dein Killer
Und nachts im Eispalast
Manche fallen auf die Knie
Ich habe sie umgebracht
Ich zähl die Zeit ...
Ein Augenblick voll Ruhe
Wie festgefügt im Eis
Ewigkeit wieder dieser Schmerz
Ewigkeit hat ihren Preis
Tausend Jahre ziehen vorbei und
nichts ist wie es scheint
Meine Jugend hab ich verleugnet
Genau wie meinen Tod
Gefühle hab ich längst vergessen
Keine Freude mehr in meinem Sein
Das einzige, was mir geblieben
Ist dein eisiger Kuss bei Kerzenschein
Hier oben gibt es keine Reue
Hier oben herrscht die Ewigkeit
Viele hab ich mitgenommen
Und noch viel mehr werden bald kommen
Eispalast ...
The lyrics to the song "Eispalast" by Eisregen describe the perspective of a soldier who has committed atrocities during war and is now haunted by his memories. The first verse paints a picture of the soldier's bleak existence, where he sees faces full of life, but the memory of them is clouded. He is in a place where many have fallen, and their names have been forgotten. The air is like ice, and the soldier describes this as his last war.
The second verse describes the soldier's dual existence as a killer during the day and a lover at night. He is haunted by his actions and doesn't know why some people kneel before him. He is a killer at your service. He counts time, perhaps to keep himself sane in his solitary existence. The third verse illustrates a moment of peace for the soldier, like being frozen in ice. However, this moment of peace is short-lived, and eternity will bring pain. Time passes, years slip by, and nothing is as it seems. The soldier has denied his youth and his death. He has forgotten his emotions and does not find joy in life. The only thing he has is the memory of a cold kiss by candlelight.
Overall, "Eispalast" by Eisregen is a haunting yet moving song that portrays the horrors of war and the lasting effects of committing atrocities. The lyrics suggest a sort of purgatory where the soldier has been trapped, forced to relive the memories of his past actions. The song is a reminder of the cost of violence on individuals and society as a whole.
