Sehnsucht
Equilibrium Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Die Menschen müssen weiterhin kämpfen, aber nur wofür zu kämpfen lohnt
Und das sind nicht imaginäre Grenzen, Rassen vorurteile oder Bereicherungsgelüste
Die sich die Fahne des Patriotismus umhängen
Unsere Waffen, seien Waffen des Geistes, nicht Panzer & Geschosse
Was für eine Welt können wir bauen, wenn Wir die Kräfte die den Krieg entfesselt, für den Aufbau einsetzen.
The lyrics to Equilibrium's song Sehnsucht are a reflection on the concept of war and its toll on humanity. The opening line "It will not be possible to eradicate the warrior instincts of a single generation" suggests that violence and conflict are inherent in human nature and cannot simply be eradicated by one generation. However, the lyrics go on to suggest that people should continue to fight, but only for causes that are truly worthwhile.
The lyrics reject the idea of fighting over "imaginary borders, race prejudices, or desires for enrichment" and instead call for a more meaningful purpose to combat. The line "Our weapons will be weapons of the mind, not tanks and bullets" highlights the need for us to use our intelligence and creativity to resolve conflicts, rather than resorting to violence.
In conclusion, Sehnsucht is a song that asks people to rethink their approach to war and conflict. It is a call to action for individuals to consider what is truly worth fighting for and to use their minds, rather than weapons, to build a better world.
