In 1999, together with Grant Stevens and José Alvarez-Brill (also of Wolfsheim, Joachim Witt, and De/Vision), the foundation for Unheilig came into being from a dark vision of singer Der Graf (born Bernd Heinrich Graf). Their songs have fused heavy guitars, dancable beats, and infectious synth-driven melodies with Der Graf's brooding croon and have met with considerable success.

The band principally consists of Der Graf ("The Count") along with various musical partners. He has been accompanied for live shows with musicians Christoph "Licky" Termühlen, Henning Verlage, and Martin "Potti" Potthoff. The group's debut, 'Phosphor', came out in 2001. Their fans believe that their eclectic style features a very appealing combination of sounds, unlike a lot of bands that play a similar mix of elements, while also giving a nice depth of atmosphere. As well, Unheilg are stylistically connected to the 'dark culture' that has arisen among many of the youth.

Das Meer
Unheilig Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Komm geh mit mir zum Meer
Um auf ein Schiff zu gehen

Komm geh mit mir zum Meer
Um in die Welt zu sehen

Komm geh mit mir zum Meer
Um mit der Flut zu gehen

Komm geh mit mir zum Meer
Um in den Sturm zu sehen

Komm geh mit mir zum Meer
Um mit auf Kurs zu gehen

Komm geh mit mir zum Meer
Um neues Land zu sehen

Komm geh mit mir zum Meer
Um Freiheit zu verstehen

Komm geh mit mir zum Meer
Auch wenn wir untergehen

Ferne Welt ich komme

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Unheilig's song Das Meer invite the listener to join the singer on a journey to the sea. This journey symbolizes a longing for adventure, exploration, freedom, and a deeper understanding of life. The repeated phrase "Komm geh mit mir zum Meer" (Come with me to the sea) serves as an invitation to the listener to join the singer on this quest.

The first two lines express a desire to board a ship and leave the shore behind. The sea is seen as a gateway to the world, an opportunity to broaden one's horizons and gain new perspectives. The third line indicates a willingness to go with the flow, to let the tides guide the way. The fourth line acknowledges the tumultuous nature of the sea but also suggests an attraction to its power and unpredictability.

The next three lines allude to the idea of setting a course and navigating towards new lands, ideas, and experiences. The notion of understanding the concept of freedom lies in line 8, an essencial value and theme in this song. The last line, "Komm geh mit mir zum Meer, Auch wenn wir untergehen" (Come with me to the sea, Even if we go under), implies a willingness to take risks and face the possibility of failure or even death, in the pursuit of something greater.
