Kein schöner land
Stahlhammer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In dieser zeit
Wo ist mein heimat?
Panik auf strassen
Uberall nur rauch
Feuer und flammen
Wut in meiner bauch
Denn die sünde
Ist er magnetenstein
Der das eisen
Zieht ins land herein
Erinnerung an umsturz
Denk an wiederstand
Zerbrochen, verdammt
Verbannt ins heimatland
Goldenes zepter
Nur ein stock
In des königshand
Wer nichts wagt
Der darf nicht hoffen
Auf ein schöner land
Trommeln und pfeifen kriegerischer klang
Wandern und streifen
Die welt entlang
The lyrics to Stahlhammer's song Kein schöner land reflect feelings of displacement and despair in the midst of chaos and destruction. The first line immediately addresses the sense of loss and longing that one feels when they are separated from their homeland. The following verse describes the chaos and panic on the streets, where smoke and fire provide a backdrop for the singer's inner turmoil.
The lyrics take on a more philosophical edge in the third verse, where the nature of sin is discussed. The metaphor of a magnet pulling iron into the land is used to describe the power of sin, which draws negativity and destruction into our homes and hearts. The next verse recalls memories of resistance and rebellion that ultimately ended in banishment from one's homeland, effectively separating them from their roots.
The song's chorus speaks to the desire for stability and prosperity, using the image of a golden scepter as a symbol of power and control. However, the singer recognizes that without the willingness to take risks, one cannot hope to achieve any lasting success. The final verse suggests a sense of wanderlust and an embrace of the unknown, as the singer declares his intentions to explore the world and find his place in it.
