Megaherz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ich weiß, ich verehr
Ich fühle Lebensgier
Bin doch nur ein Herdentier
Ich weiß, ich bin verwirrt
Ich hab mich nur verirrt
Ich spür's an meinem Leib
wie ich ihn quäl und sklaventreib'
Ich will, ich kann, ich muss weiter
Ich weiß, ich bekehr mich
Ich weiß, ich gehör mir nicht
Ich fühle Lebensgier
Bin doch nur ein Herdentier
Ich weiß, ich bin verwirrt
Ich hab mich meist geirrt
Ich spür's in meinem Kopf
dies Gehämmer und Geklopfe
The lyrics of Megaherz's song "Weiter" talk about the internal struggle of the singer. He knows he destroys things, but he also holds things in high regard. He feels the need for life, yet he recognizes that he is just a part of the herd. He acknowledges his confusion and the fact that he has lost his way. He feels it in his body, how he abuses and enslaves it. The singer also recognizes that he must continue on, despite his inner turmoil. He knows he can change and redeem himself, but he also knows that he does not wholly belong to himself anymore. He feels this intense urge to live but also understands that he is just one among many in society. He acknowledges that he is confused, and he has made mistakes. The endless pounding and hammering in his head remind him of his inner demons that he cannot shake off.
The song's lyrics delve into the turbulent emotions of the singer, who desperately tries to come to terms with his internal struggles. The song's message is about the human condition, how we all recognize our imperfections, but we strive to continue living despite them. It also touches on how we all feel the need to belong, hence his reference to being a "Herdentier," or herd animal. The lyrics' repeated assertion that he wants to move forward echoes the idea that the human spirit is resilient and can overcome struggles to achieve a more hopeful future.
