Chaos
The Die-Hards Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Entsteht, wer du wirklich bist
Warm und weich, kalt und grau
Komatös, niemals im Reinen
Unbeständig und rotierend
Ringst du mit dir selbst
Im Fieber und in schönsten Träumen
Ich mag das Chaos, das du bringst
Alle Windungen und Wendungen
Führen dich zum Sinn
Deine Seele ist ein Teppich
Sie legt sich in den Raum
Und macht ihn erst bequem
Ich mag das Chaos, das du bringst
Ich mag das Chaos, das du bringst
Unbeständig und rotierend
Ringst du mit dir selbst
Im Fieber und in schönsten Träumen
These lyrics, from The Die-Hards' song "Chaos," explore the multifaceted nature of the self and the allure of chaos. The song suggests that our true selves are shaped by the intricate twists and turns of our lives. It acknowledges that we are a combination of warmth and softness, as well as coldness and greyness. We exist in a state of constant flux, never truly at peace within ourselves. The line "komatös, niemals im Reinen" (comatose, never at peace) emphasizes this inner conflict and restlessness.
The lyrics further describe the self as unpredictable and constantly spinning in circles, engaged in a struggle with itself. This internal battle takes place both in moments of feverish intensity and in the most beautiful dreams. It is in these chaotic moments that the true essence of the self emerges. The repetition of the line "Ich mag das Chaos, das du bringst" (I like the chaos that you bring) suggests an acceptance of this chaos and an appreciation for its role in shaping one's identity.
The song also suggests that the winding and turning path of the self ultimately leads to meaning. It describes the soul as a carpet that spreads throughout the room, making it comfortable. This imagery symbolizes the way our inner selves expand and fill the space around us, creating a sense of belonging and purpose.
