Energie
Illuminate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Zwei Heere aufeinanderprallen
Un weißer Staub bedeckt die Schlacht.
Wenn das Licht des Tages schwindet,
Dann gib mir Kraft für diese Nacht!

Schwarze Schemen sich verstecken
Ein Lichterspiel die reizt
Du baust mich auf und wirfst mich nieder
Verleihst und raubst mir alle Macht!

Gib mir deine Energie!!!

Die Heeres ich schon fast vernichtet,
Der Staub den Tag zum Dunkel macht
Und alles Licht in sich gesogen.
Gib mir die Kraft für diese Nacht!

Schwarze Schemen sich verstecken
Ein Lichterspiel die Sinne reizt
Oh bau' mich auf - oh wirf mich nieder!
Verleih'und raube mir die Macht!





Gib mir deine Energie!!!

Overall Meaning

In Illuminate's song "Energie," the singer describes a battle between two armies. The first verse sets the scene: two armies clash and a white dust covers the battlefield. As the daylight fades, the singer asks for strength to make it through the night. The second verse seems to focus on the internal struggle of the singer. The use of the metaphor of "black shadows" hiding and a "play of lights" tantalizing suggests that the battle may be more of a mental one. The chorus repeats the plea for "energy," perhaps meaning the emotional and spiritual strength to face whatever battle awaits.


The third verse describes the near defeat of one army, with the dust making everything dark. The singer again asks for strength to make it through the night. The final chorus reinforces the theme of "energy," but also adds a sense of desperation, as the singer seems almost to be begging for it.


The lyrics of "Energie" can be interpreted in a few different ways. One interpretation is that the song is about a literal battle, possibly even a war. However, the language of the song also suggests a more metaphorical interpretation, where the battle represents an internal struggle. It is possible that this could be a spiritual struggle, with the singer asking for divine energy to help them through the night.

This is the best recent DnB production i've heard so far. Gives some Pendulum vibes, as someone mentioned already. Wish it was longer.

@johnscherf2089

Definitely pendulum

@kiwiconnection3580

Tarantula vibes

@alexricketts1365

At least Pendulum actually played it live. Real musicians just makes you realise just how good they really are live

@geraldlecar0s

I don’t care if anyone says its generic this is an incredible hook for a double drop

@simplycryptowithdjpetervas2827

I can remix this

@locke_7265

One thing I agree on with this! Sub Focus tunes are pretty basic, but mixed with something they are on top. Ultrafunk, X-Ray, Desire, Solar System and this one are all tunes which become so much better with a double drop

@thesuperiorbench6307

Second that

@Matty9Fingers

Agree 100%

@pepamaster10

exactly!
