Letzte Instanz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Den faden Atem verhaucht
Ins kalte Wasser getaucht
Kein Ziel nur fort von hier
Das Leben war zerronnen dir
Ein Flügelschlag vom Tod entfernt
Einfach voraus geschaut
Fang einfach an und lauf
Wohin dein Weg dich führt
Zeig mir die Tränen die du weinst
Sei wie du bist du darfst es sein
Tanz, Tanz, Tanz, das Feuer brennt in dir
Tanz, Tanz, du wirst die Wärme spür'n
Tanz, Tanz, Tanz die ganze Nacht gehört dir
Tanz, Tanz, voll Leidenschaft und Gier
Von allen Fesseln befreit
Zu jeder Schandtat bereit
Kein Weg ist jetzt zu weit
Haben noch so viel Zeit
Dreh dich mit mir die ganze Nacht
Ein Schritt nur dann ist es vollbracht
Tanz, Tanz, Tanz, das Feuer brennt in dir..
The song "Tanz" by Letzte Instanz tells of a person who has left their old life behind and is ready to move forward. The first verse speaks of their previous life being consumed and their breath fading away. They have plunged themselves into cold water, with no specific destination - only the desire to leave where they were before. Their life before has slipped away from them, and they are almost touching death's wing. However, the person is looking forward, breaking down barriers to move forward. They are encouraged to start running, wherever the road takes them. The song continues with the singer asking the person to show them the tears they cry and not to be afraid to be themselves.
The chorus is all about dancing. The singer celebrates the fire that burns within the person, encouraging them to dance, feel the warmth and take ownership of the night. The person has broken free from all constraints and is prepared to do anything. There is nothing that can hold them back, and they will go as far as they need to. The singer implores the person to dance with them the entire night, delight in their passion and desire for more.
Overall, the song is about letting go of your past, breaking down barriers, and embracing your true self. It encourages the listener to dance their hearts out and acknowledges that life is a journey, so they should embrace it and never hold back.
