The Union
Silke Bischoff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never alone, no one's on the phone
You and me in a little house
Making love the whole day through
The times we have been going through
Does it mean anything for me and you
The union for eternity
Now I'm all alone again
The frying pan's much too wide
The bed's too big
I haven't seen you for some weeks
And when you're on the phone
I'm so week
Why - Oh why?
It's hard to believe but it's true
Oh why - Oh why?
Alone in the crowd without you
Winter sadness - A dream in white
Lost union - A dream in black
Winter sadness - A dream in White
Lost union - A dream in white
Just a dream in black
The lyrics to Silke Bischoff's song "The Union" describe a romantic relationship that is built on a strong foundation of family and physical intimacy. The first part of the verse highlights the domesticity of the couple's life together, emphasizing their isolation from the outside world and their commitment to each other. The second part of the verse introduces a note of uncertainty, questioning whether the struggles they have endured together will ultimately strengthen or weaken their bond. The chorus then turns to the present, where the singer finds herself suddenly alone and adrift, unable to cope with the absence of her partner. The dream imagery of the final line suggests that the perfect union they once shared has become an elusive fantasy, haunting her in her waking moments.
Overall, "The Union" paints a complicated portrait of a relationship that is both fulfilling and challenging. It acknowledges the difficulties that come with maintaining a long-term commitment and asks whether the rewards are worth the sacrifices. The emotion conveyed in the lyrics is raw and immediate, conveying the urgency of the singer's need for her partner's companionship.

You and me in a family
We are together in a committed relationship, possibly with children
Never alone, no one's on the phone
We always have each other's company and attention
You and me in a little house
We share a small, intimate living space
Making love the whole day through
We have an active and fulfilling sexual relationship
The times we have been going through
The experiences we have shared together
Does it mean anything for me and you
Do these experiences hold any significance for our relationship?
The union for eternity
The bond we share is meant to last forever
Does it mean anything for you and me
Does the idea of lifetime commitment hold the same importance for you?
Now I'm all alone again
I am currently without your physical presence
The frying pan's much too wide
Cooking for one feels too large of a task
The bed's too big
Sleeping alone takes getting used to
I haven't seen you for some weeks
We have been physically separated for a period of time
And when you're on the phone
Even hearing your voice brings me comfort
I'm so weak
I feel vulnerable without you
Why - Oh why?
I am filled with confusion and sadness
It's hard to believe but it's true
The reality of our situation is difficult to accept
Winter sadness - A dream in white
Cold, melancholy feelings surround me like snow
Lost union - A dream in black
The absence of our togetherness feels like darkness
Winter sadness - A dream in white
The emotions I feel are like a winter landscape
Lost union - A dream in white
Separation from our love feels surreal and unreal
Just a dream in black
The pain of being apart is like a bad dream
