Sascha Funke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Red Raw And Sore
Blades (Sascha K. And Chris Sheppard Remix)
(remix lyrics coming)
You hold my head, I cannot hurt
You touch my heart, I cannot bleed
You close my eyes and I can see
My dreams are golden
My dreams are golden
She said "The leper sleeps tonight"
She said...
The greatest good for the greatest number
From the greatest evil comes though they slumber
The greatest triumph proves the greatest blunder
Greatness dies but will still hunger
She strokes and tumbles into my vein
She gently turns the tide of shame
Steal to the city with no name
The scent of darkness smothers pain
My dreams are golden
My dreams are golden
She said "Your wounds will heal tonight"
She said...
The greatest good for the greatest number
From the greatest evil comes though they slumber
The greatest triumph proves the greatest blunder
Greatness dies but will still hunger
The song "Double-Checked" by Sascha Funke's has a very unique and abstract meaning. The lyrics are very symbolic and metaphoric in nature. The opening lines of the song "Pig, red raw and sore, blades" creates a vivid and scary image. It refers to the act of someone self harming themselves. The line "You hold my head, I cannot hurt" signifies that someone is stopping the singer from self-harming. The following line "You touch my heart, I cannot bleed" is again symbolizing how the singer's emotions have been suppressed and they cannot express their feelings or let their emotions bleed out.
The next part of the song talks about the singer's dreams being golden and the leper sleeping tonight. This is again very metaphorical in nature as it represents the idea of hope and redemption. It symbolizes how despite the darkness surrounding the singer, there is still hope for them. This is followed by the line "The greatest good for the greatest number from the greatest evil comes though they slumber," which suggests that even though there may be great suffering and evil in the world, there is a possibility of greater good that can emerge.
The song then talks about someone turning the tide of shame and stealing to the city with no name. This can be seen as a reference to someone who is trying to get away from their past and start fresh. The line "The scent of darkness smothers pain" suggests that even though there may be dark times ahead, there is still hope for a better tomorrow. The song ends with the line "Greatness dies but will still hunger," which is again symbolic in nature. It suggests that even though there may be great achievements and accomplishments, there will always be a desire for more.
