Influences on ENGELSBLUTs music come from In Extremo, Subway To Sally, Schandmaul and others. But there is a completely unique sound that stands for ENGELSBLUT. The voice of Benjamin is very recognizable and seems to fit perfect into this music.
The crazy fact is, that ENGELSBLUT became relatively famous within the german and mexican Gothic-scene without being contracted by any record label. A suprising but also sad fact this is, as ENGELSBLUT offers nearly 200 songs for free. Sad because it is award-winning music, but labels didn't recognize till now. They may have wasted a bunch of money...
Several releases in german Gothic magazines like ORKUS and ASTAN increased the popularity of ENGELSBLUT.
Now, 2007 ENGELSBLUT is still releasing new music, 2 full length albums a year in average. All these songs are released on the german music platform called mp3.de. ENGELSBLUT reached the 1st place of their Gothic Charts for about 50 times - with 50 different songs!
The latest album, called "Orkan" is very succesful. Since release of it's first track, every single song hit the 1st place of the Gothic Charts.
But after all, ENGELSBLUT is just music for people who live, love, hate, laugh and cry - for just everyone. It's not too much gothic and it ain't too much pop. It's just good - pretty god. And heartbreaking.
Seelenhüter
Engelsblut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
machst dir einen Kopf um das, was war.
So hilflos bin ich,
kann nicht in dich sehn!
Deine Seele, wie sie nun schreit,
ganz wie ein Kind, das verlassen worden ist.
Meine Hand, die nach dir greift,
was dich von unsrem Glück ablenkt.
Mit dir bin ich frei,
doch ich fühl, du kannst noch nicht frei sein!
Ein Schatten, der stets auf dir liegt,
du sagst es mir nicht, verrätst es mir nicht!
Wie soll ich dir helfen,
wenn du dir nie helfen lässt?
Ich halte dich fest,
bis deine Seele untergeht!
Und wenn die Flammen dich verbrennen,
bin ich das Wasser, das nie vergeht!
Jeder kennt dein Lachen,
aber keiner weiß, wie du fühlst,
jeder hört, was du sagst,
aber keiner weiß, was du denkst,
jeder schaut dich an,
aber keiner sieht die Tränen!
Ich halte dich fest,
bis deine Seele untergeht!
Und wenn die Flammen dich verbrennen,
bin ich das Wasser, das nie vergeht!
The lyrics of Engelsblut's "Seelenhüter" deal with the desire to help someone who is struggling with their inner demons. The singer addresses someone who is lying in bed, worrying about the past and feeling helpless. The person's soul is described as screaming, like a child who has been abandoned. The singer tries to reach out to the person, but is unable to understand what is distracting them from their happiness. The singer wants to help, but doesn't know how to do so when the person is not receptive to help.
The singer feels a strong connection to the person and feels free when they are together. However, it is clear that the person is not yet free from their inner struggles. The person is described as a shadow, hiding what is really going on inside. The singer wants to help, but feels frustrated by the person's unwillingness to accept help.
Despite this, the singer promises to hold the person tight until their soul reaches peace, and to provide a constant source of strength, like water that never dries up.

Du liegst wieder da,
machst dir einen Kopf um das, was war.
So hilflos bin ich,
kann nicht in dich sehn!
You are lying there again,
obsessing over what happened in the past.
I feel helpless
not being able to see into your mind and understand you!
Deine Seele, wie sie nun schreit,
ganz wie ein Kind, das verlassen worden ist.
Meine Hand, die nach dir greift,

was dich von unsrem Glück ablenkt.
Your soul cries out
like a child who has been abandoned.
My hand reaching for you
cannot sense what you think,
what distracts you from our happiness.

doch ich fühl, du kannst noch nicht frei sein!
Ein Schatten, der stets auf dir liegt,
du sagst es mir nicht, verrätst es mir nicht!
With you, I am free,
but I feel like you are not yet free!
A shadow always over you,
you do not tell me about it, you do not confess it to me!
Wie soll ich dir helfen,
wenn du dir nie helfen lässt?
How can I help you
if you never allow yourself to be helped?
Ich halte dich fest,

until your soul sinks!
And if the flames burn you,
I am the water that never runs dry!

but no one knows how you feel,
everyone hears what you say,
but no one knows what you think,
everyone looks at you,
but no one sees the tears!
Ich halte dich fest,
bis deine Seele untergeht!
Und wenn die Flammen dich verbrennen,
bin ich das Wasser, das nie vergeht!
I will hold you tight
until your soul sinks!
And if the flames burn you,
I am the water that never runs dry!
