Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Our love was cold and sleeping
You and i caught in a bad dream
But we never gave up hope to see the sun
Our hearts were waiting so long
For a brand new morning to come
After the pain
I can feel your blood rushing through my veins
After the nightmare
The demons are gone
Open our eyes to a new dawn
Our pulse was beating
Keeping us alive and breathing
Shaking our bones through the night
Guiding us the way back into life
Our hearts were waiting so long
For a brand new morning to come
After the nigthmare
After the pain
I can feel your blood rushing through my veins
After the nightmare
The demons are gone
Open our eyes to a new dawn

We were just like phantoms
We existed as mere apparitions
Our love was cold and sleeping
Our affection was devoid of warmth and slumbering
You and I caught in a bad dream
Both of us trapped in a distressing illusion
But we never gave up hope to see the sun
Nevertheless, we maintained optimism to witness the sunlight
Our hearts were waiting so long
Our souls patiently yearned
For a brand new morning to come
Anticipating the arrival of a fresh daybreak
After the nightmare
Following the distressing experience
After the pain
After enduring the suffering
I can feel your blood rushing through my veins
I can sense the vitality coursing within you
After the nightmare
Following the distressing experience
The demons are gone
The malevolent forces have departed
Open our eyes to a new dawn
Allowing us to perceive a fresh beginning
Our pulse was beating
Our heartbeat resonated
Keeping us alive and breathing
Sustaining our existence and respiration
Shaking our bones through the night
Trembling our very bones throughout the night
Guiding us the way back into life
Directing us on the path towards a rejuvenated existence
Our hearts were waiting so long
Our souls patiently yearned
For a brand new morning to come
Anticipating the arrival of a fresh daybreak
After the nightmare
Following the distressing experience
After the pain
After enduring the suffering
I can feel your blood rushing through my veins
I can sense the vitality coursing within you
After the nightmare
Following the distressing experience
The demons are gone
The malevolent forces have departed
Open our eyes to a new dawn
Allowing us to perceive a fresh beginning

Hammer song und stimme

Die Machart des Videos ist toll: ich mag die Verläufe der Bildausschnitte, insbesondere somit, dass jeder auf der riesigen Bühne seinen kleinen Raum groß ausfüllt und den Moment, wo die Maske fällt...somit die Dramatik des Albtraums sich in Erleichterung auflöst durch die Erkenntnis und Akzeptanz, dass auch der dunkle Teil ein Teil seiner selbst ist und dem Gefühl, bei sich angekommen zu sein...
Danke für deine Musik, die so herrlich unter die Haut geht und du sie so wunderbar auf die Bühne und ins bewegte Bild transportierst🙏💖🎶

Ich kenne bisher nur den kleinen Kreis mit Ilja, Eric und dir aus der Christuskirche im Dezember 2021 und das war für mich schon sensationell. Gänsehaut über fast 2 Stunden. Dieses Video macht Lust auf das große Bühnenprogramm mit einer kompletten Band. Das Video ist klasse und ich freue mich unbändig auf die Gänsehaut, die wiederkommen wird beim Konzert in Bochum am 02.12.2022.
