Maerzfeld Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Zum Nachtgebet
Er singt mit dir ein kleines Lied
Bevor er sich an dir vergeht
Dein Wimmern erregt sein Schwert
Träne dir zu Tale fährt
Zarte Haut, bleich wie Schnee
Er ist bei dir und tut dir weh
Still
Ich singe dir mein Lied
Still
Die Melodie aus Fleisch und Blut
Still
Sing mit mir mein Lied
Still
Ja, es tut mir gut
Ein zartes Pflänzlein will er ernten
Legt den Spross in seinen Schoß
Er presst ihn sanft an seine Lenden
Lässt den Trieb nicht wieder los
Die Wellen seiner Leidenschaft
Schlagen ins Gesicht
Zarte Knospen will er kosten
Nur die Tränen sieht man nicht
Still
Ich singe dir mein Lied
Still
Die Melodie aus Fleisch und Blut
Still
Sing mit mir mein Lied
Still
Ja, es tut mir gut
Meines Schatten tiefste Neigung
Bringt mich fast zur Überzeugung
Nur für einen Augenblick
Der Hunger kehrt ins Hirn zurück
Still
Ich singe dir mein Lied
Still
Die Melodie aus Fleisch und Blut
Still
Sing mit mir mein Lied
Still
Ja, es tut mir gut
The lyrics to Maerzfeld's song "Still" tell a haunting story of abuse and manipulation, with the singer taking on the role of a predator who preys upon a vulnerable victim. The first verse describes a man offering his hand in prayer before ultimately using the opportunity to assault the victim. The second verse goes into greater detail, with the predator taking advantage of a young, delicate plant (representing the victim) and subjecting it to his will and desires. The language used is dark and disturbing, with sexual overtones and violent imagery.
The chorus, "Still, I sing you my song," is a twisted refrain that the predator uses to both entice and justify his actions. The melody of the song is described as being made from flesh and blood, further emphasizing the predatory nature of the situation. The final verse reveals that the singer himself may be struggling with dark desires, stating that his "deepest inclination" might be to give in to his own hunger and become the predator instead.
The haunting nature of the lyrics is further emphasized by the slow, atmospheric music that accompanies them. The use of minor key chords and sparse instrumentation help to create a sense of unease and tension throughout the song. Overall, "Still" is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the complex dynamics surrounding abuse and power.
