Megaherz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
weil ich voll Unschuld bin
Voll Freude riech ich
an deinem Rosenkranz
Falte die Hände
in deinen feuchten Schoß
Die Glocke läutet
Der Gottesdienst beginnt
Knie nieder und sing
und sprich ein Gebet
und steck mir die Zunge
ganz tief in den Hals
Gereinigt und gut
die heilige Flut
Wir schlachten das Opferlamm
Denn wir sind die Kraft
und die Macht
und die Herrlichkeit
der Anfang vom Ende
der Weg und das Ziel
Auf die Knie
Danke deinem Gott
Diene deinem Gott
Auf die Knie
Danke deinem Gott
Liebe deinen Gott
do suchst Vergebung
doch do bekommst sie nicht
Heilige Lieder
aus einem keuschen Mund
Ave Maria
Lass mich dein Josef sein
Sprich nur ein Wort
und meine Seele wird gesund
Knie nieder und sprich
dein letztes Gebet
bevor do die Frucht
meines Leibes empfängst
Der Dorn voller Blut
Die heilige Flut
Wir schlachten das goldene Kalb
Denn wir sind die Kraft
und die Macht
in alle Ewigkeit
Dein Leib ist das Brot
das uns nährt
The lyrics of Megaherz's song "Falsche Götter" can be interpreted as a critique of blind faith and religious extremism. The lyrics depict a scene of a religious service or ritual, where the singer seems to be a willing participant. He is fully immersed in the sensory experience of the church, from the smell of the roses to the sound of the ringing bell, and he describes himself as innocent and joyful.
But as the song progresses, the lyrics become more disturbing. The singer is instructed to kneel and pray, and is then violated by the person leading the service ("steck mir die Zunge ganz tief in den Hals"). He is promised salvation through this ritual, but is also expected to sacrifice an innocent lamb and a golden calf. The singer seems to be grappling with the idea that this religious experience may not be genuine, or that the people leading it may not have pure intentions. He asks for forgiveness, but feels like he cannot receive it through the church's teachings ("do suchst Vergebung, doch do bekommst sie nicht").
Overall, the lyrics seem to be a condemnation of people who use religion as a tool for power and control, rather than as a means to connect with a higher power. The use of violent imagery and sensual language underscores the idea that there are dark, manipulative elements lurking beneath the surface of organized religion.
