While Everything Dies
Mortal Love Lyrics

The lyrics to Mortal Love's song "While Everything Dies" explore themes of sacrifice, loss, and the struggle to cope with grief. The first line, "Schon es sieht nach Regen aus," which translates to "Already it looks like rain," sets a somber tone as the singer reflects on the destruction they have caused for the object of their affection. The preceding lines, "Now I have burned the skies for you / Now I have drowned the world for you," express the lengths to which the singer has gone to demonstrate their love.

However, the singer is left grappling with the consequences of their actions. The line, "How could I know you earth and sky," suggests that the singer did not fully understand the magnitude of their actions or the impact it would have on their loved one. They are now plagued by guilt and feelings of isolation. The lines, "Now life is death and light is dark / My sins have left their precious mark," emphasize the extent to which the singer feels responsible for the destruction around them.

The final stanzas reveal the extent of the singer's despair. They have lost their loved one, and are left alone to cope with the aftermath. The line, "I have left you cold," reveals that the singer is also responsible for hurting the one they love. They are tormented by the shadows of their past and are left feeling haunted ("The shadows haunt me / to my broken glass bed"). The final two lines, "Kein Herz und immer Nacht," which translates to "No heart and always night," underscore the finality of the singer's loss, implying that they are now trapped in a perpetual state of darkness.
