The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Alles Schwarz" by the artist "Umbra Et Imago"

Contents

The lyrics of the song "Alles Schwarz" ("Everything Black") by the German band Umbra Et Imago paint a bleak picture of the lyrical hero's inner world. Black here is not just an aesthetic choice, but a symbol of deep disappointment in the world and humanity.

The hero sees lies, hypocrisy, greed, and violence around him, disguised under the mask of religion, morality, and social norms. He feels powerless in the face of human stupidity and evil ("The realization that nothing changes... There is no power, little strength that can resist this").

The hero's inner world is full of "trouble," "hatred," and "sincerity that is so lacking." He feels isolated ("Black is my isolation") and silently observes the decay of the world around him ("Black is my silence"). His "black" is both a judgment on society and a manifestation of his own pain ("Black is my judgment").

The lyrics of the song do not provide answers but merely state the hopelessness of the situation. Black becomes a symbol of hopelessness, despair, and deep pessimism.

Man fragt mich, was es bedeuten mag,

All das Schwarz, das ich am Leibe trag',

Gern will ich Euch geben meine Kund',

Die Schleier heben, zu meines Herzens Grund

Die Not die in mir frißt,

Die Aufrichtigkeit, die man so vermißt,

Der Haß auf die menschliche Kreatur

Die Ignoranz, Lügen, der falsche Schwur —

Das alles ist schwarz an mir.

Die Habgier und die kurze Sicht

Die Religion, die Menschen bricht,

Die Moral, die mordet und verbrennt,

Die Scheinheiligkeit, die ein jeder kennt —

Das alles ist schwarz an mir.

Die Einsicht, daß nichts anders werd,

Die Dummheit, die sich schnell vermehrt,

Der Intellekt, der das Messer sieht,

In das man rennt,

Keine Macht, zu wenig Kraft,

Die sich dagegen stemmt —

Das alles ist schwarz an mir.

Schwarz ist meine Sicht

Schwarz ist mein Gericht

Schwarze Resignation

Schwarze Isolation
