Megaherz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Es ziert sich
Es weckt den Instinkt
Deiner Neugier
Es lockt und es flüstert
Do spürst seine wärmende Kraft
Doch meide die Glut
Sonst kocht dir das Blut
Do bist schon ganz gefährlich nah
Doch fass es nicht an
Sonst frisst es dich auf
Nimm die Beine in die Hand und lauf
Das Leuchten so hell
Wie niemals zuvor
Tief aus der Seele schießt die Flamme empor
Spiel
Spiel nicht
Spiel nicht mit dem Feuer
Spiel nicht mit mir
Es wärmt dich
Es schützt dich
Es weist dir den Weg
Aus dem Dunkel
So zart so zerbrechlich
Doch do weißt es kann dich zerstörn
Spürst do die Glut
Die feurige Flut
Sie spendet dir Trost in der Nacht
Es zischt und es flüstert
Es lockt und es knistert
These lyrics describe the allure and danger of playing with fire, both metaphorically and literally. The use of fire as a symbol represents a powerful force that can both captivate and destroy. The first verse sets the scene by mentioning the flickering flames and their seductive nature. They awaken the instinct of curiosity, tempting the listener to approach and feel their warming power. However, the lyrics caution against getting too close, as the fire can become overwhelming and make one's blood boil.
The second verse continues the warning, advising against touching the fire, as it has the potential to consume and devour. Instead, it urges the listener to run away, recognizing the danger and seeking safety. The brightness of the fire is emphasized, highlighting its intensity and the powerful impact it has on the soul. It shoots up from within with a burning flame, fueling the desire to engage in the dangerous act of playing with fire.
The chorus delivers a direct message: "Spiel nicht" which translates to "Don't play." It serves as a warning not to engage in this risky behavior. Playing with fire is seen as a metaphor for engaging in a dangerous relationship, where someone can be alluring and protective but also have the potential to destroy. The fire is seen as a guiding light in the darkness, offering warmth and protection, but it's also described as fragile and capable of causing destruction.
The final lines of the lyrics continue to describe the seductive and tempting qualities of fire. It hisses and whispers, luring and crackling, implying that even though it can be destructive, the listener can still feel drawn to its power. Although there may be comfort and solace found in the fiery embrace, the cautionary message remains clear throughout the song: playing with fire can lead to dangerous consequences.
