Leidenschaft
Illuminate Lyrics

The lyrics of "Leidenschaft" by Illuminate are about somebody who is madly in love with another person. The first verse describes how the person sees their loved one's image as if it's veiled in smoke. They look upon them with tender, cruel, and dreamy eyes. The second line of the verse says that the loved one recognizes the singer in the reflection of their own eyes. This line alludes to the idea that the two are connected, even reflected in each other.

The chorus talks about worshipping the loved one as a figure of passion and idolized as the messenger of eternity. The words "meine Große Leidenschaft" directly translate to "my great passion," which displays the intense devotion the singer has for the person they're singing about. The second time the chorus is sung, the focus is slightly changed. Instead of being a deity-like figure, the loved one has become the singer's love and lust, through which they live. The singer compares their loved one to the angel of immortality, indicating that they will go on forever, as the singer's love and lust will never die.

Overall, the lyrics to "Leidenschaft" by Illuminate are very romantic and passionate. The song builds upon an idea that love is a deity that can keep one immortal. The song's slow, dreamy melody paired with deeply meaningful, Germanic lyrics offers a profound sense of intimacy to the listener. The sense of unity and everlasting love is one that truly touches the listener's soul.
