After Bill Kaulitz’s participation in a children’s Star Search in 2003 at age thirteen (which he lost in the quarter-final), he was discovered by music producer Peter Hoffmann. Devilish changed their name to Tokio Hotel: “Tokio” is the German spelling of the Japanese city Tokyo, due to a love of the city, and “Hotel” due to their constant touring and living in hotels.
Soon after Sony BMG took them under contract, Hoffmann hired David Jost and Pat Benzner into the team of creators and authors, and had them give the teens instruction on songwriting and instrument playing; most of the songs of the first album were written by Hoffmann, Jost and Benzer (including the singles Scream and Rescue Me which were completely written by them), only the single Unendlichkeit was written completely by Tokio Hotel themselves. However, shortly before release of their first album, Sony terminated their contract. In 2005, Universal Music Group took Tokio Hotel under contract and developed a marketing plan. The band has now become one of the biggest acts originating from Germany, The bands success has reached The United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico, France and various other countries.
Tokio Hotel released the album "Humanoid" in Europe And the United States, With translations in German and English.

Tokio Hotel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We won't make it together
We can't hide the truth
I'm giving up for you now
My final wish will guide you out
Before the ocean breaks apart
Underneath me
Remember
[Chorus]
To me you'll be forever sacred
I'm dying but I know
Our love will live
Your hand above
Like a dove
Over me
Remember
To me you'll be forever sacred
You break the ice when you speak
With every breath you take
You safe me
I know that one day
We'll meet again
Try to go on as long as you can
Even when the ocean breaks apart
Underneath you
Remember
[Chorus]
Forever you
Forever sacred
Forever you
You will be sacred
In your eyes
I see the hope
I once knew
I'm sinking
I'm sinking
Away from you
Don't turn around
You'll see
You can make it
Never forget
To me you'll be forever sacred
I'm dying but I know
Our love will live
Your hand above
Like a dove
Over me
And one day
The sea will guide you
Back to me
Remember
To me you'll be forever sacred
To me you'll be forever sacred
The lyrics to Tokio Hotel's song "Sacred" convey a message of love and devotion between two people who are separated by difficult circumstances. The opening lines reveal the singer's dedication to the other person, as they declare that they are still awake for them even though they know they won't make it together. This suggests some sort of loss or separation that prevents them from being together, perhaps even death. The singer then acknowledges the truth of their situation and gives up, but wishes to guide the other person out before the "ocean breaks apart" underneath them.
The chorus emphasizes the eternal nature of their love and the way this person will always be "sacred" to the singer, even though they are dying. The image of a hand above like a dove suggests protection and comfort, even in a difficult situation. The second verse continues this theme of hope for future reunion, as the singer describes how the other person's presence has saved them in the past and how they believe they will meet again someday. The final lines again emphasize the singer's devotion and the hope that the other person will never forget them, even as they are sinking away.
Overall, the lyrics to "Sacred" convey a deep and sincere connection between two people, even in the face of difficulty and loss. They express a desire for the other person to remember their love and a belief in the eternal nature of their bond.
