Endstation im Labyrinth
Melotron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wo man uns viel versprach
Und man sich selbst vergaß
In einer Welt aus Glas
Der Klang schöner Worte ist uns nicht genug
Wir kennen jeden Weg
Und haben dann gespürt
Daß man nur Zeit verliert
Wenn man auf andre hört
Der Klang eurer Worte ist uns nicht genug
Wir wollen mehr, ihr kennt uns nur zu gut
Niemand sagt uns, wer wir sind
Die Illusion in uns ist vorbestimmt
Niemand sagt uns, wo wir sind
Hier ist Endstation im Labyrinth
Das Leben wartet nicht
Wir müssen weitergehen
Auch wenn sich nichts bewegt
Solang die Hoffnung lebt
Werden wir weiterziehen
Niemand sagt uns, wer wir sind
Die Illusion in uns ist vorbestimmt
Niemand sagt uns, wo wir sind
Hier ist Endstation im Labyrinth
Jeder sagt uns, wer wir sind
Die Illusion in uns ist vorbestimmt
Jeder sagt uns, wo wir sind
Hier ist Endstation im Labyrinth
Der Klang eurer Worte ist uns nicht genug
Wir wollen mehr, wir kennen euch zu gut
In Melotron's "Endstation im Labyrinth," the band expresses their frustration with the world around them and the superficial promises it often makes. They have been everywhere and have heard all the empty promises of success and happiness, but they have found it to be nothing more than an illusion. They have realized that listening to others and following their paths only leads to wasted time. The band wants more than just words, they want to understand who they are and where they are going. They reject the notion that their fate is predetermined and strive to make their own way and create their own destiny in a world that often tries to control them. The song talks about the importance of hope and the need to keep going, even when it seems like the world around them has stopped moving.
Overall, "Endstation im Labyrinth" is a song that celebrates individuality and the power of choice. It is about breaking free of societal constraints and finding one's own path. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt lost or trapped in a world that doesn't understand them. The repetition of the phrase "Der Klang eurer Worte ist uns nicht genug" (the sound of your words is not enough for us) emphasizes the band's desire for something more meaningful than just empty promises.
