Kremator
Törr Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

V černejch zdech
Příštích dnů
Spatříte
Svět jen ze snů
Záře z mých ohňů
Pálí strach
A těla dnes ztuhlá
Na marách

Kremator

Z pecí vzdech
Horkej vzduch
Začínáš
Snít jen na dluh
Prázdný je tunel
Plná síň
A mrtvý ma živý
Jenom stín

Ohněm z lamp
Klesáš níž
Poznáváš
Že už nespíš
Nevnímáš nářky
Bližních svých
Jen prach a popel
Uren tvých

Kremator

V černejch zdech
Příštích dnů
Spatříte
Svět jen ze snů
Záře z mých ohňů
Pálí strach
A duše dnes mrtvých
Žijí dál

Kremator

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Törr's song "Kremator" speak about the experience of death and the cremation process. The first verse sets the scene in a dark room, where the only thing that can be seen is the world of dreams. The light of the flames of the cremation oven burns the fear and the bodies become stiff on stretchers.

The chorus, "Kremator," gives the name to the song and refers to the crematorium itself. In the second verse, the singer describes a hot and empty tunnel, leading to a full hall of people waiting for their turn. The dead are alive only as shadows.

The final verse is the most metaphysical, speaking of the souls of the dead, which live on through the fire of the cremation. The lyrics allow for multiple interpretations, but the most obvious is the idea that the body is destroyed by the fire, but the soul lives on. The darkness of the room, the heat of the oven, and the finality of death all contribute to the eerie feeling of the song.
