The name "B.o.N.n." is not only refering to the former capital of the Federal republic of Germany, moreover it refers to any other place or city on earth. That's the reason why the band didn't change its name into "Kapitulation B.e.R.l.I.n." in 1999 when Berlin became the new German capital.

Sadfully, they only managed to play about a hundred times since their founding in 1989. One reasong might be the geographical distance between the band members but also the critical state of health of the vocal chord of the band's drummer , Oliver.

So watch out for one of their rare upcoming gigs!

Herz
Kapitulation B.o.N.n. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wir fahren besoffen und wir fahren ohne Licht
Wie das gut gehen konnte, das weiß ich bis heute nicht
Hin und Her auf der Autobahn
Und dann zurück, wo die Mühle steht
Für einen kurzen Moment ist alles klar
Als eine Flasche aus dem Auto fliegt.

Durch die Nacht tönt unser dummes Lachen

Und nur der Irrsinn treibt die bösen Geister aus
Heute Nacht wird abgehoben
Und ich schreie in den Mond
"Gottverdammt, jetzt komm und
Reiß mir endlich mein Herz heraus!"

Der Weg ist das Ziel an's andere Ende der Nacht
Kein Notausgang hat uns zum Halten gebracht
Kreuz und quer durch die Innenstadt
Und noch den Bordstein abrasiert

Für einen kurzen Moment ist es totenstill
Als eine Streife vorüberfährt

Wir fahren besoffen und wir fahren ohne Licht
We are driving under the influence and without proper lighting

Wie das gut gehen konnte, das weiß ich bis heute nicht
I still don't know how we managed to avoid disaster

Hin und Her auf der Autobahn
We're swerving back and forth on the highway

Und dann zurück, wo die Mühle steht
And then back to where the windmill stands

Für einen kurzen Moment ist alles klar
For a fleeting moment, everything is clear

Als eine Flasche aus dem Auto fliegt.
Until a bottle is thrown out of the car

Durch die Nacht tönt unser dummes Lachen
Our foolish laughter echoes through the night

Und nur der Irrsinn treibt die bösen Geister aus
Only madness dispels our demons

Heute Nacht wird abgehoben
Tonight we'll take off

Und ich schreie in den Mond
And I scream at the moon

"Gottverdammt, jetzt komm und
"God damn it, come and
