Reigen
Xmal Deutschland Lyrics

The lyrics to Xmal Deutschland's song Reigen are haunting and poetic, speaking to themes of death and the oppressive heat of the sun in an ambiguous and mysterious way. The song begins with the line "Als sie dich hängen steht die Sonne hoch," which translates to "When they hang you, the sun stands high." This could be interpreted as a reference to a public execution or lynching, with the sun serving as a symbol of the unforgiving nature of the world in the face of such brutality. The repetition of this line throughout the song adds to its eerie and foreboding feel.

The next few lines of the song continue in this vein, with references to the hot sun and a body that is cold to the touch. The word "Orient" is repeated multiple times throughout the song, adding to its mystical and exotic quality. The line "Karawane holt deinen Körper" can be interpreted in a few different ways, but it seems to suggest that a caravan will come to collect the body of the deceased.

The second half of the song focuses more on the family of the deceased, with the lines "Dein Vater hört dein Schreien nicht / Deine Mutter sieht deine Augen nicht." These lines could suggest that the family is either absent or powerless to stop the events that led to their loved one's death. The song ends abruptly, leaving the listener to grapple with its enigmatic and powerful imagery.
