Literatur
Kapelle Petra Lyrics

The first two lines "Wissen sie was ich jetzt tu, Ich begleiche meine Rechnung" from Kapelle Petra's song "Literatur" signify the end of a bad experience. The singer is tired of being mistreated and decides to pay back for the wrongdoings committed against him. The following two lines, "Man lässt mir einfach keine Ruh, Augen zu - Augen zu," imply that the singer has been constantly bothered and wants to shut out the world, hence the advice to close one's eyes. This could also represent the singer's desire to let go off the negative energy and let his actions do the talking.

The next two lines "Was ist aus dem Mann geworden, In diesem Augenblick ist alles still" evoke a sense of contemplation and introspection. The singer reflects on the person he has become and what led him to take a stand. The line "Die Ruhe vor dem Sturm" is an idiom that implies that there is a period of calm before a disruptive event. Thus, it could mean that the singer has prepared himself mentally for the consequences of his action.
