Megaherz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ich werde immer ehrlich sein
Ich würde euch doch nie etwas sagen
Was nicht der Wahrheit entspricht
Hand auf's Herz
Hand auf's Herz
Hand auf's Herz
Hand auf's Herz
Ich bin ein Diener
Hand auf's Herz
Bin euer Vater
Hand auf's Herz
Der Freund und Helfer
Hand auf's Herz
In der Not
Ich schenke euch den Himmel auf Erden
In meiner Brust ein Herz aus Gold
Ich bin so grenzenlos gütig
Der Idealist der euch nie vergisst (der Idealist der euch nie vergisst)
Hand auf's Herz
Hand auf's Herz
Hand auf's Herz
Hand auf's Herz
Hand auf's Herz
Ich bin ein Diener
Hand auf's Herz
Bin euer Vater
Hand auf's Herz
Der Freund und Helfer
Hand auf's Herz
In der Not
(Ich war nie käuflich, ich habe nie Geld genommen
(I wanna say one thing to the American people
I did not have sexual relations with that woman)
(Gebe ich ihnen mein Ehrenwort)
(Ich schwöre, dass ich meine Kraft dem Tode des deutsches Volkes)
(Es wird niemanden (?))
(Ich liebe doch alle)
(Indeed I did have a relationship with Miss Lewinsky
That was not appropriate)
Ich bin euer Glück
Ich bin euer Licht
Ich bin die starke Hand, die euren Willen bricht, ja

Der Kopf der für euch denkt (der Kopf der für euch denkt)

The lyrics of Megaherz's song "Hand auf's Herz" is a sarcastic take on the idea of being truthful and sincere morally, while being a complete opposite of it. The song highlights the various instances where public figures have been dishonest in their personal and professional lives, including the infamous Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky scandal. The opening lines of the song state that the singer will never lie and be truthful, however, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that the lyrics are insincere, and the singer goes on to boast about being a diener, euer Vater, and der Freund und Helfer, constantly proclaiming "Hand auf's Herz" (hand on heart).
The second stanza of the song is particularly ironic as it talks about the singer being the epitome of goodness and having a heart of gold. The singer claims that he is the idealist who will never forget his audience. However, these lines are followed by a series of quotes from various public figures who have lied in their public speeches or have been caught in scandals. The chorus "Hand auf's Herz" is repeated several times, mocking the concept of honesty and sincerity that the singer initially claimed.
Overall, the lyrics of "Hand auf's Herz" are a commentary on how people in positions of power and authority often make false promises and deceive the public with their motivations. The song highlights the irony of politicians and figures of authority who claim to be righteous and honest while, in reality, are far from it.
