Lindemann Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your blood is cold
Your skin is rough
You have a heart of gold
Your face so dark
Feel clammy hair
Upon your flesh
Wet creatures everywhere
White river
You stole my eyes
Never gave them back
You tried to kiss me
And sent a shiver
Round my neck
White river
Wet golden shrine
You sold my mind and
Tried to kill me
Sent a shiver down my spine
You hate the sun
But rain is nice
You love the snow
But you are afraid of ice
You're dressed in mud
Unsafe to dive
I want your gold
But you...
You want my life
You want my life
White river
You stole my eyes
Never gave them back
You tried to kiss me
Send a shiver down my neck
White river
Wet golden shrine
You sold my mind
And tried to kill me
Send a shiver down my spine
You tried to drown me
Never mind to swim
And tried to eat me
Put a shiver on my skin
You tried to hold me
With million things
And tried to heal me
Wash off my sins
Your kingdom come
We kneeling on the planks
All the trees
Bend over on the banks
Gives me a shiver
White river
You stole my eyes
Never gave them back
You tried to kiss me
Send a shiver down my neck
White river
Wet golden shrine
You sold my mind
And tried to kill me
Send a shiver down my spine
You tried to hold me
With million things
And tried to eat me
Bite of my skins
You tried to drown me
And never mind to swim
You tried to kill me
And send a shiver on my skin
The lyrics of Lindemann's "Yukon" are a deeply metaphorical exploration of a dangerous relationship that leaves the singer feeling trapped, afraid, and powerless. The opening stanza serves as an introduction to the person he is singing about, who is described as having both good and bad qualities. Their "soul is black" and "blood is cold" while their "skin is rough" but they "have a heart of gold." The singer seems to be drawn in by this person but is equally repulsed and frightened by them. The second stanza introduces the "White river," which is a symbol of the dangerous relationship that the singer is trapped in. He sings about how the river has "stolen his eyes" and "sold his mind" while also trying to kill him. He further describes how the river's touch sends shivers down his spine, emphasizing how emotionally and physically intense this situation is for him. The third stanza describes the singer's conflicting feelings towards the person he's singing about. He describes them as being "dressed in mud" and "unsafe to dive" and confesses that he wants their gold, but they want his life. This highlights the power dynamic at play in this relationship and suggests that the singer is in a dangerous position. The fourth and final stanza describes the ending of the relationship, with the singer describing how they were "tried to heal" him and "wash off his sins" before eventually killing him. The final lines of the song depict the singer and his lover kneeling on the plank and surrounded by bending trees, creating an eerie but compelling conclusion to the song.
