Megaherz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
durch vertrocknetes Gras
Durch verlassene Städte
über zerbrochenes Glas
Durch brennende Wälder
durch unendliches Leid
Die verlorene Unschuld
einer goldenen Zeit
Über tödliche Tiefen
mit gewaltigem Fleiß
Durch versunkene Meere
durch das ewige Eis
Dein Herz schlägt schneller
Es geht bergauf
Die Haut wird dünner
Bald platzt sie auf
Tanz tanz tanz
in ein neues Jahrtausend
Tanz tanz tanz
den sterbenden Schwan
Tanz tanz tanz
in eine goldene Zukunft
Tanz tanz tanz
auf dem Vulkan
Über schmelzende Pole
über staubigen Sand
Durch verheerende Kriege
durch geschändetes Land
Über menschliche Kälte
durch unendliche Not
Tanz mit dem Teufel
Tanz mit dem Tod
The song "Tanz auf dem Vulkan" by Megaherz is a call for radical change from the current state of the world. The lyrics describe the journey through seemingly insurmountable obstacles, from hot coals to dry grass to broken glass, and through abandoned cities and burning forests. The journey continues with a descent into deadly waters and through eternal ice.
Through all these hardships, the singer urges us to keep dancing, to keep moving forward towards a better future. The chorus "Tanz tanz tanz in ein neues Jahrtausend" (Dance dance dance into a new millennium) is a motivator to leave behind the old ways of thinking and embrace a new era of hope and possibility.
The bridge "Dein Herz schlägt schneller, Es geht bergauf, Die Haut wird dünner, Bald platzt sie auf" (Your heart beats faster, It's going uphill, The skin is thinner, Soon it will burst) adds a sense of urgency to the call for change. The journey through obstacles is not easy, but it is necessary if we want to reach the desired destination.
Overall, "Tanz auf dem Vulkan" is an anthem for those who want to break free from the current state of the world and create something new and better.

Làstima que este grupo esté tan infravalorado. A diferencia de Rammstein, que es muy famoso. Pero me gusta màs Megaherz. Hasta un perrito le puse Megaherz...
