The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Nibelungentreue" by the artist "Untoten"

Contents

In the text "Nibelungentreue", author Untoten speaks of an all-consuming, unconditional love bordering on obsession and self-denial. The lyrical hero, experiencing a deep emotional connection, likens it to a dream they never want to wake from.

The first stanza describes an awakening into a reality full of pain. Perhaps this is a metaphor for separation, loss, or the realization of unrequited love. However, even when faced with pain, the hero desires to return to the state of "sleep", symbolizing closeness with their beloved, and to remain there forever.

The second stanza speaks of returning to this same "sleep", but now with a new, deeper understanding of the situation. "Silent amazement" hints at the hero's realization of the depth and possible tragedy of their feelings. Nevertheless, the desire to "just sleep" and be near the object of their love remains unchanged.

The title "Nibelungentreue" refers to Germanic mythology and means "Nibelung loyalty." This concept is associated with unconditional, fanatical devotion that can lead to destructive consequences. Thus, the author draws a parallel between the feelings of the lyrical hero and the tragic loyalty of the Nibelungs, hinting at the danger and self-destructiveness of such all-consuming love.

Wenn du einmal aus dem Traum erwachst

und du blind von all den Schmerzen bist

Willst nur träumen,

willst nur noch bei ihm sein

willst den Ort nie verlassen

Wenn du einmal wieder schlafen musst

und du stumm von all dem Staunen stehst

Willst nur träumen,

willst nur noch bei ihm sein

willst den Ort nie verlassen
