Hellfire
Nu Pagadi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dein Reich
Ist die Versuchung in der Nacht
Der Fluch
Deiner Liebe hält mich wach
Wir werden untergeh'n
Aufersteh'n
Und uns im Morgen wiederseh'n
You steal lightning from the thunder
You eclypse the sun
You let heaven and earth go under
Load me like a gun
Deathdefying messia
Undying hellfire
Die Sucht
Verbietet jede Wiederkehr
Im Rausch
Hör'n wir nie auf und wollen mehr
Die Welt ist uns zu klein
Gehört uns allein
Wir werden wie Giganten sein
You steal lightning from the thunder
You eclypse the sun
You let heaven and earth go under
Load me like a gun
Deathdefying messia
Undying hellfire
Hellfire
Die Welt ist uns zu klein
Gehört uns allein
Wir werden wie Giganten sein
Nu Pagadi's song "Hellfire" is a story of temptation, addiction, and the consequences that come with it. The lyrics talk about how the feeling of being addicted to something can be overwhelming and consuming, as it keeps one awake at night and prevents them from feeling content with what they have. The lyrics suggest that addiction is a curse, and it can make the person feel like they are on fire, hence "undying hellfire." The repeated lines of "You steal lightning from the thunder, You eclipse the sun" suggest that the person's addiction is so strong that it is controlling their lives, even more powerful than natural phenomena.
The song also talks about how addiction makes people feel like they are giants, and they believe that the world belongs to them. Despite knowing that addiction is wrong, people find themselves obsessing over it, as it is too overwhelming to resist. The chorus of "Hellfire, Hellfire, Dein Reich Ist die Versuchung in der Nacht, Der Fluch Deiner Liebe hält mich wach, Wir werden untergeh'n Aufersteh'n Und uns im Morgen wiederseh'n" suggests that addiction is a never-ending cycle, and although it may bring you temporary pleasure, you will ultimately fall, rise again, and continue the circle.
