Rebirth
End Amen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

lost in a labyrinth
of growing hatred and cold winds
cabaret on wasted places
theatre with human faces
consumed by my own thoughts
bowing to almighty gods
a torment for the living body
please please please redeem me

walls of sadness seas of tears
filled by rivers of human fears
like needles on every nerve
I'm waiting for my rebirth

eternal lights shall rise
to show the way I have to go
sleepless nights and restless days
all I loved a fucked up haze
insensible ready for exit
to leave behind this growing shit
a torment for the living body
please please please redeem me

walls of sadness seas of tears
filled by rivers of human fears
like needles on every nerve
I'm waiting for my rebirth

(solo: Uwe)

lost in a labyrinth
of growing hatred and cold winds
cabaret on wasted places
theatre with human faces
consumed by my own thoughts
bowing to almighty gods
a torment for the living body
please please please redeem me

walls of sadness seas of tears
filled by rivers of human fears




like needles on every nerve
I'm waiting for my rebirth

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to End Amen's song "Rebirth" depict the pain and frustration of being trapped in a world filled with hatred, fear, and despair. The singer's use of language and imagery paints a vivid picture of a person lost in a labyrinth of confusion and sorrow, unable to escape the relentless onslaught of negative emotions and experiences.


The opening lines introduce the listener to a landscape of "growing hatred and cold winds," a world that has become toxic and uninviting. The reference to "cabaret on wasted places" and "theatre with human faces" suggest a sense of futility and emptiness, as if the people around the singer are putting on a show but nothing about their lives is meaningful or real.


As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer is struggling to find a way out of this dark place. The idea of being "consumed by my own thoughts" and "bowing to almighty gods" reinforces a sense of powerlessness, as if the singer is at the mercy of forces beyond their control. The repeated plea for redemption suggests a yearning for hope and a way to transcend the pain and suffering.


Ultimately, the song expresses a desire for rebirth, a new beginning that will allow the singer to shed the burden of the past and embrace a brighter future. The idea of "eternal lights" rising to show the way suggests a sense of optimism and hope, even as the singer acknowledges the struggles that lie ahead. The final repetition of the chorus, with its imagery of "walls of sadness," "seas of tears," and "needles on every nerve," reinforces the sense of desperation and longing, while hinting at the possibility of a better tomorrow.


Overall, "Rebirth" is a powerful expression of the human condition, capturing the pain and struggle of living in a world that can be cruel and unforgiving. Yet, even in the darkest moments, there is a glimmer of hope, a sense that redemption is possible and that rebirth is always within reach.
