Fütter Deine Angst
Rosenstolz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ohne deine Wut
Bist du ein halber Mensch
Ohne deinen Zorn
Verlierst du deinen Blick

Ohne deine Angst
Fehlt dir jeder Mut
Ohne die Gefahr

Geht es nur zurück

Geh lieber durch die Wand
Als immer durch die Tür
Durchbreche den Verstand
Dann findest du zu dir

Fütter deine Angst
Denn sie wird niemals satt
Verschwende deine Wut
Dein Leben schreit danach
Balsam für die Seele
Ist die Ruhe für den Sturm
Erliege der Versuchung
Denn sie gibt dir Kraft
Fütter deine Angst
Fütter deine Angst

Ohne deine Stimme
Wird es niemals laut
Ohne deine Schwäche
Wirst du niemals sehn

Ohne andrer Küsse
Wirst du niemals warm

Ohne deinen Atem
Wird es nie geschehen
