Mein Herz
Letzte Instanz Lyrics

In "Mein Herz," Letzte Instanz presents a reflective look at the condition of one's heart. The song starts with the singer talking about being born soft, without worry or pain, like every child. However, the smoothness of the heart soon fades away. "Wäre fast erfroren" (Almost frozen) and the "Glut" (Embers) of another saved it from its sluggish state. Even though the heart is now full of scars, the singer can still feel it beating passionately thanks to the glows that rejuvenated it.

In the chorus, Letzte Instanz illustrates the significance of these wounds that mark our hearts from lost love or betrayal. They point out that even though these heartaches amass with time, they do not harden the heart entirely. Instead, despite the impact of scars, the child that lived in the singer's heart remains delicate at the core. The song continues and introduces a wonderful metaphor for the ebbs and flows that the heart goes through, comparing it to a small child living within. This "Kind" (Child) inside listens to the singer's heartbeat and learns to understand its ever-changing moods. At this point, the singer acknowledges that though this heart-on-fire guides them, it also occasionally leads them astray.

"Mein Herz" is a wistful melody that speaks of the pain that life inflicts upon the heart; it's a reminder to remain kind to oneself and to others. But even with this weight on our hearts, the singer reminds us that we must listen to our inner child, who is still soft in spite of the challenges we face.
