Scarcely another band among the German-speaking Alternative /(Dark)Wave-scene has polarized media and audience within the last fifteen years as much as ILLUMINATE. Either praised up to the skies or torn apart as "Schlager" (a German derogatory term for bad pop songs) – be that as it may, for the last decade, Johannes Berthold and his band have left their mark on the Dark scene...

ILLUMINATE manage to combine classical elements, dance rhythms, electronic sound collages, romantic piano parts and heavy guitars without being unfaithful to their typical, unmistakable sound. After seventeen years of band history, 12 studio albums, world-wide life-performances, and having an enormous fan-base, ILLUMINATE are one of the most successful acts of the Alternative / Dark Wave-segment.

Ein neuer Tag
Illuminate Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Irgendwann einmal wird es gescheh'n,
das Wunder hier auf dieser Erde
Und eine Stimme sagt: Es werde
Ein neuer Tag...

Ich will durch Deine Augen sehen
will die Worte nur verstehen
die an mich gerichtet sind

und warte nur auf den Moment, denn:
Irgendwann einmal wird es gescheh'n,
das Wunder hier auf dieser Erde
Und eine Stimme sagt:
Es werde... Ein neuer Tag!

Ein neuer Tag bricht an für mich
alte Wunden werden heilen
Ein neuer Tag bricht an für Dich und mich

Ein neuer Tag bricht an für mich
lies zwischen meinen Zeilen:
Ein neuer Tag bricht an für Dich!

Und wenn die Zeit mich zu Dir führt
will ich in Dir verweilen

in Deinen Augen bleiben
warten auf den Sonnenuntergang...
