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.

This Corrosion
Unheilig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gimme something that I missed (Gimme the ring)
A hand to hold, wild and what it seems(Gimme the ring)
Kill the king, when love is the law,
And the we'll turn round... (Gimme the ring)
Gimme dream child
And do you hear me call? (Gimme the ring)
On the loan and on the level
Sing dream child
And do you hear at all?
CHORUS
(Sing)
(Sing)
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing...
Gimme siren, child and do you hear me?
Gimme siren, child, and do you hear me call?
Sing, child, of right and wrong
Gimme things that don't last long
Gimme siren, child, and do you hear me call?
CHORUS
On daze, like this
In times like these
I feel an animal deep inside
Heel to haunch on bended knees
Living on if and if I tried,
Somebody send me... please...
Dream wars and a ticket to seem
Giving out and in
Selling the don't belong
Well, what do you say
D'you have a word for Giving Away?
Got a song for me?
CHORUS
I got nothing to say I ain't said before
I bled all I can, I won't bleed no more
I don't need no one to understand
Why the blood run hold
The hired hand
On heart
Hand of God
Floodland and Driven Apart
Run cold
Turn
Cold
Burn
Like a healing hand
Like a healing hand
Like a healing hand
Like a healing hand
The lyrics of Unheilig's song "This Corrosion" seem to be disjointed and surrealistic in nature, as they jump from one thought to the next without any clear rhyme or reason. However, upon closer inspection, one can begin to discern possible meanings and connections between the different lines and verses.
In the first verse, the singer seems to be asking for something he has missed, both in terms of tangible objects (such as a ring) and emotional or spiritual needs (a hand to hold, something wild and unbridled). He then goes on to speak of killing the king, perhaps as a metaphor for overthrowing traditional or societal norms that have held him back from fully experiencing love and freedom.
The chorus of the song is a plea for someone to sing "This Corrosion" to him, perhaps as a way to provide comfort and healing during difficult times. The second verse continues the theme of asking for something that may be fleeting or elusive, such as the wail of a siren, and imploring a child to sing of right and wrong. The third and final verse seems to be a stream of consciousness rambling about feeling like an animal, yearning for something that does not belong to him, and seeking respite from the pain of bleeding out emotionally.
Overall, the lyrics of "This Corrosion" seem to convey a sense of longing and a desire for something more, while also acknowledging the difficulties and pain that often come with such pursuits.

Dream wars and a ticket to seem Giving out and in Selling the don't belong Well, what do you say D'you have a word for Giving Away? Got a song for me?
I struggle between chasing my dreams and giving in to societal expectations. Do you have any advice? A song to lift me up?
I got nothing to say I ain't said before I bled all I can, I won't bleed no more I don't need no one to understand
I have said all I can, I have given all I can, there is no more to give. I do not need anyone to understand my struggle
Why the blood run hold The hired hand On heart Hand of God Floodland and Driven Apart Run cold Turn Cold Burn Like a healing hand Like a healing hand Like a healing hand Like a healing hand
I question why there is so much suffering and pain. The hand of God appears to be absent, and destruction ensues. Things turn cold and lifeless, but I hope for a healing hand to come and bring warmth and life back into the world
