Liebestod
Morgan feat. Asia Argento Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Doors used to be open
But now they've been nailed shut

Lights are on
But no one is at home

What has been, what never will
Mirages of future springs
Always returning maybe

A sword of Damocles
Is hanging above your head
Will i turn out to be some kind of stranger
Ti you again

And after this no other love shall exist
After this no other love will, will, will

I'm out, there, somewhere
A ship with its sails, the cold black sea,
Unreachable, unavailable
The incarnation of your damnation
A curse you put upon yourself
For the one you'll never have

You will never find another
There will be no more, and no other lover
For you and i forever, and ever

After this no other love shall exist
After this no other lips will ever be kissed
After this no other kiss shall be missed
After this no other love





(Grazie a Tiziana per questo testo)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Morgan feat. Asia Argento's song Liebestod convey a sense of lost opportunity and unfulfilled love. The opening lines "Doors used to be open, but now they've been nailed shut" suggest that the singer had access to something, but now that access has been cut off or blocked. The next lines "Lights are on, but no one is at home" create an image of emptiness and loneliness - there may be a physical presence, but there is no emotional or intellectual engagement. The lines "What has been, what never will, mirages of future springs, always returning maybe" illustrate the idea of regret and missed chances - things that were once possible are now lost forever.


The middle section of the song uses the metaphor of the "sword of Damocles" - a symbol of impending doom or danger - to explore the idea that the singer might become a stranger to their loved one. The lines "And after this no other love shall exist, after this no other love will, will, will" repeat the idea that there is a finality to the situation - once this love ends, there will be no other. The closing lines "After this no other lips will ever be kissed, after this no other kiss shall be missed, after this no other love" reinforce the sense of finality and loss.
