Flucht
Sanguis et Cinis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

An meine Tür klopft mein Verstand
den ich mit Flucht vertrieb
zurückgekehrt
meine Tränen in seinen Augen-so hat wenigstens er begriffen
ich lasse ihn nicht herein-mit tausend Spiegeln
mir alles andere als Einsamkeit vorgegaukelt
doch er hat verstanden-sein Schreien bricht die Stille
aber ich halte mir die Ohren zu

mit einem weiteren Krug Verleumdung
meinen Geist betrunken-verstecke ich mich vor einem Tag
der Dein Zeichen nicht mehr trügt
in den Hallen meiner Flucht-gibt es keinen Tag solcher Tage
zu viele Jahre vergangen
und der Wein des Selbstbetrugs versiegt
-mein Geist ernüchtert
alle Spiegel brachen wie meine Seele
deren Scherben die Tür öffnen

erfroren mein Verstand verharrt
sein Schrein erlischt...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sanguis et Cinis's song Flucht reflect on the struggle of the singer's mind and their desire to escape reality. The first line establishes the metaphor of the singer's mind as a visitor knocking at their door. They had previously tried to escape their mind, but now it has returned with tears in its eyes. While the mind understands that the singer wants to keep it out, it screams out in pain and the singer tries to drown out the noise with alcohol and distraction. The mirrors in the room offer a false sense of companionship, but ultimately, the singer's mind breaks through, and they are left to face their reality.

The second half of the song conveys a sense of clarity and acceptance. The singer realizes that they can no longer run away from their problems and the pain in their life. The self-deception and illusion of companionship have run dry, and they are left to face their shattered soul. The final lines describe the singer's mind fading away, perhaps indicating a moment of peace or acceptance.
