Nazareths Sohn
Illuminate Lyrics

The lyrics of Illuminate's song Nazareths Sohn are quite powerful and speak to the themes of faith, truth, and power. The opening line "Aus tiefsten Tiefen ruf ich Dich" (From the deepest depths I call to You) suggests a sense of desperation or need for something greater than oneself. The next line "Deine Wahrheit ist mein Sein" (Your truth is my being) reinforces this idea of seeking truth and purpose. The following line "Unser Wissen ist die Macht" (Our knowledge is power) suggests that the truth and knowledge being sought has the potential to bring power and control.

The repetition of "Macht" (power) further emphasizes this idea, almost as if the singer is trying to convince themselves of its truth. The chorus shifts in tone with the invocation of "Nazareths Sohn" (Son of Nazareth), which is a biblical reference to Jesus Christ. The repetition of this phrase in the chorus is a plea for help or guidance from Jesus, but it is also tinged with bitterness and anger. The line "Dein toter Leib verfault zu Nichts!" (Your dead body rots to nothing!) is a direct attack on Jesus and his claim to divinity. The final line "Ich weiß genau, Du hörst mich nicht!" (I know exactly, you don't hear me!) is a statement of rejection and disbelief in Jesus' ability to answer the singer's call.

Overall, the song's lyrics seem to be a complex mix of longing, doubt, and anger towards religion and faith. It may reflect the struggles of the songwriter with their own faith or beliefs.
