The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Nebelmann" by the artist "Triebwerk"

"Nebelmann" by Triebwerk is an anthem to chaos and destruction, a call to abandon order and morality. The lyrical hero, possessed by an inner voice, finds beauty in decay and agony.

The text is filled with contrasts: the tenderness of a kiss in a nightmare, the beauty of destruction, the birth of melody from agony. The "Nebelmann" (Fog Man) to whom the hero appeals is likely his own dark essence, craving chaos.

The song urges listeners to "glorify the decline", to reject the values imposed by society – "the right to buy", "mass taste", "beautiful words and ugly deeds". Instead, the hero proclaims the triumph of primal instincts: "stupid greed", "a small servant and a big whip".

The recurring lines "Forward, Nebelmann! Listen to the swan song! Forward, everyone! Glorify the decline!" sound like an incantation, calling for the destruction of the old world and the birth of a new one from chaos.

In mir flüstert eine Stimme,

Will das ich das Glück erklimme.

Küsst so lieblich tief im Nachtmahr,

Singt für mich: – ja – wunderbar wunderbar – Oh!

„Was zerschindet das niemals Gutes war“,

Das klingt für mich – ja – wunderbar wunderbar – Oh!

Rotes Blut und schwarze Tempel.

Tote Brut und blanke Schenkel.

Die Fantasie – es macht sie wahr

Und schwängert mich – ja – wunderbar wunderbar! Oh!

Vorwärts! Nebelmann!

Hört den Abgesang!

Vorwärts! Jedermann!

Preiset den Niedergang!

Wut und Böse in mir brennen.

Den Verstand sie rasch zertrennen.

Aus dem Nebel erklingt nun klar,

Dringt in mich – ja – wunderbar wunderbar – Oh!

Als Agonie die Melodie gebar

Da wurds mein Kind - ja – wunderbar wunderbar – Oh!

Karges Feld und alte Leiden.

Böser Held macht grüne Weiden.

Der brave Mensch ist was ich war.

Ich töte ihn – ja – wunderbar wunderbar! – Oh!

Vorwärts! Nebelmann!

Hört den Abgesang!

Vorwärts! Jedermann!

Preiset den Niedergang!

Vorwärts Vorwärts,

Nebelmann,

Vorwärts Vorwärts,

Niedergang.

Kannst Du dieses Liedchen hören,

Musst Du brave Menschen stören.

Auf ihren Trümmern wird Dir klar

Chaos ist so – wunderbar wunderbar – Oh!

Käuflich Recht und keine Werte,

Kleiner Knecht und große Gerte,

Schönes Wort und hässlich Taten,

Falsches Spiel mit schlechten Karten,

Stumpfe Gier – niemals Verzicht.

Massegeschmack ist Bürgerpflicht!

So zu Dir mein Wesen spricht:

„Eure Ordnung will ich nicht!“

Nein!

Ich will das nicht!

Vorwärts! Nebelmann!

Hört den Abgesang!

Vorwärts! Jedermann!

Preiset den Niedergang!

Vorwärts Vorwärts,

Niedergang,

Vorwärts Vorwärts,

Befrei Deinen Nebelmann!

Vorwärts!
