The music of Weena Morloch is difficult to describe, because many of his songs are instrumental in a very weird way. Alexander Kaschte himself put it this way: "a death-industrial inferno, which doesn't leave anything except for burned earth" (back of the "Einer gegen alle" DVD).
The first release was entitled "Kunst - X = ?" and contained only "noise."
it was later rereleased as a DVD in the "Einer gegen Alle" - Ltd. box set after "Kunst.." Kaschte released the CD "Kadaverkomplex"
on this CD, on which the songs were more danceable and also had vocals and lyrics.
The first EP, called "Trauma 7," appeared as the bonus disc of "Samsas TraumTineoidea, oder: Die Folgen einer Nacht: Eine Gothic-Oper in Blut-Moll" (2003).
Weena Morloch apeared on the remix album of "Tineoidea" entitled "Arachnoidea oder: von Babalon, Scheiterhaufen und Zerstörungswut," which in English would be "Arachnoids, or, Concerning Babylon, Stake (for burning people alive) [or, depending on context, funeral pyre!], and Destruction."
After that, Weena Morloch got some attention when Samsas Traum's fanbox "Einer gegen alle" was released—including a remix album and a huge live concert of those songs along with a visual image of Weena Morloch and the album "Epanalepsis," which was paraphrased as a "death-industrial-inferno."
The name "Weena Morloch" owes its origin to a mistake of Alexander Kaschte's. Morlocks were a fictional species created by British author H. G. Wells for his 1895 novel The Time Machine. "Weena" is the name of the girl that the unnamed male protagonist falls in love with in the future world he travels to, and the name "Morloch" is derived from the Morlocks, the cannibalistic hominids.

Weena Morloch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Zwei Prädestinierte
Für das Ultrakomplizierte
Teilen alles Sessel, Traubentorte
Kurznachrichten ohne Worte
Ziegenkäse, Eifersucht
Katzenhaare, Filmaufzucht
Konfliktgezitter, Fliegengitter
Die Traumfrau und ihr Göttergatte
Knochenmehl mit Zuckerwatte
Der Anfang war beachtlich
Nicht passabel, formidabel
Oder in wie auch immer
Gearteter Weise diskutabel
Die reine Hölle in zartbitter
Ein Schneckenhaus, davor ein Ritter
Von null auf hundert "lieb und teuer"
Faszinierend "nicht geheuer"
Doch am Ende bleiben wir, ein Strick
Zwei Gelsen und ein Zaubertrick
Die Gelsen kleben an der Wand
Der Strick verbindet Hand mit Hand,
Und durch den tollen Zaubertrick
Gehts ab ins Traumland: Klick
....und durch das fiese Trickgezäuber holen uns die Räuber
Und webt die Spinne ihren Bann
Und ich weiß, daß sie spinnen kann
Dann hörst du dir ganz einfach
Dieses gottverdammte Lied an
Ich sags dir jetzt, du kennst die Zahl
Deutlicher als beim ersten Mal
Ich hab damit angefangen
Mich selbst dir zu gönnen
Doch was besseres als du
Hätte mir nicht passieren können
Komm hauch mir auf der Borderline
Noch mehr von deinem Atem ein
Und lieb mich, Baby, lieb mich
Lieb mich runter bis aufs Blut
Nach dir kommt wirklich niemand mehr
Nicht einmal die Sintflut.
The song by Weena Morloch, "DerDieDas," is a lyrical exploration of the complexities and contradictions of love. The opening verse introduces two people who are "predestined" for the "ultracomplex" nature of their relationship. They share everything from seats to grape cake and communicate through brief messages without words. The list of items they share is both mundane and deeply personal, reflecting the full spectrum of their connection. The inclusion of seemingly discordant elements like goat cheese, jealousy, cat hair, and bone meal with cotton candy serve to underscore the intense contrasts and unpredictable nature of the relationship.
The next verse describes the journey of the relationship, noting that it began with an impressive start and only grew more complex from there. The "pure hell" of the relationship is described with the metaphor of a "snail shell" being guarded by a knight, highlighting the ways in which the singer feels enclosed and trapped by their love. Despite this, they share a deep fascination with each other that the singer describes as both "not normal" and compelling. The final lines suggest that they will remain together, bound by a tie that is both strong and flexible, like the cord connecting two insects in flight.
The final section of the song contains a mix of imagery related to love and death. The spider weaving its web represents the traps people set for themselves in relationships, while the repeated reference to "loving me down to the blood" reflects the darker, more destructive aspects of love. The mention of the "borderline" highlights the unstable nature of the singer's emotional state, while the promise that "after you, no one will come" suggests a sense of finality and doom. Despite the heavy themes of the song, the repeated refrain urging the listener to "love me" underscores the deep desire for intimacy and closeness that drives the lyrics.

Und ich weiß, daß sie spinnen kann
And I know that she can spin
Dann hörst du dir ganz einfach
Then, you simply listen
Dieses gottverdammte Lied an
To this goddamn song
Ich sags dir jetzt, du kennst die Zahl
I'll tell you now, you know the number
Deutlicher als beim ersten Mal
Clearer than the first time
Ich hab damit angefangen
I started it
Mich selbst dir zu gönnen
To indulge myself with you
Doch was besseres als du
But there's nothing better than you
Hätte mir nicht passieren können
That could have happened to me
Komm hauch mir auf der Borderline
Come, breathe on me at the borderline
Noch mehr von deinem Atem ein
Even more of your breath
Und lieb mich, Baby, lieb mich
And love me, baby, love me
Lieb mich runter bis aufs Blut
Love me down to the bone
Nach dir kommt wirklich niemand mehr
After you, there really is no one else
Nicht einmal die Sintflut.
Not even the flood.
