Isolation
Todessehnsucht Lyrics

The lyrics of Todessehnsucht's song Isolation convey a sense of profound loneliness and isolation. The singer's screams of loneliness are described as emanating from a shell that used to be their body. The dreams that once obscured the pain of isolation are gone, leaving the singer with a naked and weak body struggling to breathe. The decay of all the films that once brought meaning to the singer's life is emphasized in the line "An all den Filmen nagt Zerfall" (Decay gnaws at all the films). The singer tries to hold on to the rays of an unknown sun with all their might, but sees only incomprehension and scorn in the eyes of the stranger who looks at them. This only drives the singer further into isolation, with feelings of fear and isolation becoming all that they can feel.

The overall theme of the song appears to be the despair and hopelessness that come with the experience of extreme isolation. The lyrics express the deep-seated pain of being trapped inside oneself, cut off from the rest of the world. The singer's struggle to breathe and their inability to connect with others highlight the physical and emotional toll of being isolated. The imagery of decay suggests that the singer is losing grip on their life, with nothing to hold onto except their fear and sense of isolation.
