Lorelei
Kleingott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come with me, shade your mind within smoke
Here's what you were looking for
Here's the only thing that you will ever know.
She drove me away among her fog
Then kissed me, blurred my face within smoke
Thunders shaked our voices
She lit up my day by sprinkling me with grey.
Follow me
Leave yourself behind.
Can't help yelling out while my bones shake
While my pith bleeds away, while heart breaks
She now owns my body
And what I am
She sings by my breath, but knows I'm not dead yet.
We're fog, we're nowhere
We're not, we're not what we thought.
She owns a smoky diaphanous whisper that ill-conceals our sad muteness
Then disappears, and I just can't speak anymore
And it's silent, it's never, it's like
We're fog.
The lyrics to Kleingott's song Lorelei seem to convey a sense of loss and surrender to the unknown, represented by a mysterious woman who embodies smoke and fog, and who seems to offer an escape from the painful realities of life. The first verses describe the singer being led away by this woman, who promises to show him what he's been looking for, but also warns him to leave himself behind. The imagery of smoke and fog creates a sense of disorientation and confusion, as if the singer is being sucked into an alternate reality that erases everything else.
The second part of the song intensifies the feeling of desperation and despair, as the singer can't control his own reactions to the woman's spell. He yells and shakes, as if he's being possessed, and feels a deep connection to the woman, who seems to know him better than he knows himself. However, this connection is also tainted by the awareness that he's not dead yet, and that the woman's singing is only a temporary respite from a painful reality. The final verse confirms the sense of ambiguity and uncertainty, as the fog becomes a metaphor for the singer's inability to express himself, to communicate with the outside world, and to escape the woman's hold.
Overall, the lyrics to Lorelei reflect a certain kind of melancholy and introspection, typical of Kleingott's style, and underscores the power of music to convey complex emotions and experiences. The use of smoke and fog as metaphors adds an ethereal quality to the song, leaving the listener with the impression that they've been transported to a different realm.

Here's what you were looking for
This is the experience you were searching for.

She drove me away among her fog
The mysterious woman led me into a hazy distance.
Then kissed me, blurred my face within smoke
She kissed me and enveloped me in a veil of smoke, further obscuring my already blurred senses.
Thunders shaked our voices
Thunderous sounds made our voices quiver and shake.

She brightened my day by covering it with a dreary, gray haze.
Follow me
Follow me on this journey.
Leave yourself behind.
Let go of your previous identity and become someone new.
Can't help yelling out while my bones shake
I can't help but scream as my body trembles with fear.
While my pith bleeds away, while heart breaks
As my essence and heart are drained away by the woman's power.
She now owns my body
The woman has complete control of my physical being.
And what I am
And also my essential self.
She sings by my breath, but knows I'm not dead yet.
She controls my every breath and move, but knows that I am still alive and present.
We're fog, we're nowhere
We are all just like the fog, shapeless and directionless, with no destination or purpose.
We're not, we're not what we thought.
We are not the people we thought we were or the ones we hoped to become.
