Bis Ans Ziel
Die
Journey to Immortality: A Reflection on Fear and Hope
Die's song 'Bis Ans Ziel' delves into the complex interplay between fear, hope, and the pursuit of one's dreams. The lyrics open with a reflection on change and the courage it takes to face new realities. The line 'nichts ist wie es war' (nothing is as it was) suggests a transformation, while 'Jedem fehlt der Mut' (everyone lacks the courage) highlights the universal struggle against fear. The song encourages embracing dreams, as 'Träumerei steht dem Menschen gut' (dreaming is good for people), suggesting that aspirations are essential for human fulfillment.
The recurring chorus, 'Denn ich fühl die Sonne, seh' das Licht, Ich trau dem Morgen, handel nicht, Bis ans Ziel der Unsterblichkeit' (For I feel the sun, see the light, I trust the morning, do not act, Until the goal of immortality), speaks to a sense of hope and trust in the future. The imagery of the sun and light symbolizes clarity and optimism, while the phrase 'Bis ans Ziel der Unsterblichkeit' (until the goal of immortality) suggests an eternal pursuit of one's dreams and aspirations. This refrain underscores a passive yet hopeful stance, where the protagonist trusts in the future without immediate action.
The song also addresses the themes of fear and external obstacles. Lines like 'Wann gewinnt die Angst, wenn du um mich bangst' (when does fear win, when you worry about me) and 'Die Macht verhindert meinen Weg' (power prevents my way) reflect the internal and external challenges that hinder progress. The mention of 'Rauch' (smoke) and 'Neid' (envy) as persistent obstacles further emphasizes the struggle against societal pressures and personal insecurities. Despite these challenges, the song maintains a hopeful tone, suggesting that the journey towards one's goals, even if fraught with difficulties, is a path worth taking.
