Lacrimosa was at the beginning a solo project of Tilo Wolff and his musical genre originally was neue deutsche todeskunst (New German Death Art). Between Satura and Inferno, when Anne Nurmi (ex-Two Witches) joined a group, their music style has shifted much more towards hard rock/(neo)progressive rock with gothic influences. Their musical style mixes heavy metal and gothic rock sounds along with violin, trumpet and more classical instruments, although their musical development throughout the years has also led to changes in instrumentation. Lacrimosa's lyrics are written almost exclusively in German, although since the 1995 album Inferno every album has featured one or two songs in English, generally written by Anne Nurmi. Finnish has also appeared in brief spoken intros to two songs (Schakal on Inferno and The Turning Point on Elodia) and on a bonus track in a limited edition release of Fassade. Their lyrics are mainly about loneliness, sadness, darkness, despair and love.
All albums were released through Wolff's own label Hall of Sermon.

Liebesspiel
Lacrimosa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do - nur do
Und ewig do - nur do
Und immer lauter
Ich gehÃ¶r' Dir

Ich in dir
Und do jetzt Ã¼ber mir
Und immer fester

Do gehÃ¶rst mir

Nie allein - ich will immer bei dir sein
Do bist mein - do wirst nie alleine sein

Nackt am Boden
Deine Demut riechend
Dich verderben
Ich gehÃ¶r dir

Zwischen deinen Schenkeln
Zwischen deinen feuchten Lippen
Dir erlegen
Do gehÃ¶rst mir

Nie allein - ich will immer bei dir sein
Do bist mein - do wirst nie alleine sein

[English translation:]

[Loveplay]

You - Just you
For ever you - just you
Louder and louder
I am yours

Me in you
And now you over me
Harder and harder
You are mine

Never alone - I want always to be with you
You are mine - you will never be alone
Lying naked on the ground
Smelling your humility
Corrupting you
I am yours

Between your thighs
Between your moist lips

Vanquished by you
You are mine
