The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Versprochen" by the artist "Weena Morloch"

Contents

Weena Morloch's poem "Versprochen" (Promised) depicts a picture of obsessive and destructive love. The lyrical hero, driven by jealousy, resentment, and a desire to possess, commits violence, justifying his actions with a promise made by his beloved.

The text is filled with dark imagery and tension. Phrases like "Your body stuck to my palms," "My hands, heavy as lead," "to end this drama" create a suffocating atmosphere of hopelessness and the inevitability of tragedy.

The lyrical hero clings to his beloved's words about love and willingness to sacrifice herself. He repeats them like an obsessive mantra, which, however, cannot hide his own emptiness and despair. "I have nothing left to lose, not even my own face," he confesses, demonstrating that his own personality has dissolved into obsession.

The ending of the poem is shocking in its cruelty. "When you lie on the ground... Then I will catch you at your word!", the hero proclaims, showing that he is ready to commit murder just to "win" in a perverse game of feelings. The image of the beloved's "silence" as she lies on the ground emphasizes her helplessness and illustrates how far the lyrical hero is from understanding true love.

Dein Körper klebt an meinen Händen,

Meine Arme, schwer wie Blei,

Erheben sich um dieses Drama zu beenden,

Das so unbeschreiblich schön begann.

Aus und vorbei!

Hast Du nicht gesagt, dass Du mich liebst

Und für mich, wenn es darauf ankommt,

Auch Dein Leben gibst?

Ich habe nichts mehr zu verlieren,

Nicht einmal mehr mein Gesicht.

Versprochen ist nun mal versprochen

Und wird nie gebrochen,

Auch nicht, wenn Dein Herz zu mir

In einer fremden Sprache spricht.

Hast Du nicht gesagt, dass Du mich liebst

Und für mich, wenn es darauf ankommt,

Auch Dein Leben gibst?

Hast Du nicht gesagt, ich sei der letzte Mann,

Dem Du so in die Augen siehst?

Du blickst in Deinen Untergang!

Wenn Du am Boden liegst

Und vor dem Schicksal fliehst,

Du Deinen scheiß Leib verbiegst:

Dann nehme ich Dich beim Wort!

Ja, Du hast gesagt, dass Du mich liebst

Und für mich, wenn es darauf ankommt,

Auch Dein Leben gibst!

Ja, Du hast gesagt, ich sei der letzte Mann,

Dem Du so in die Augen siehst

Und wortlos Deine Liebe zeigst,

Wenn Du am Boden liegst und schweigst!
