Alleine Zu Zweit (English Version)

Lacrimosa's song "Alleine Zu Zweit (English Version)" delves into the complexities of a relationship that has lost its essence over time. The lyrics paint a picture of a love that has deteriorated, leaving behind emptiness and disconnection. The opening lines, "At the end of truth, at the end of the light, at the end of love," set a somber tone, indicating that the relationship has reached a point where nothing substantial remains. The phrase "In the heart of it is empty - a part of me now" suggests that the emptiness has become an integral part of the narrator's being, highlighting the deep impact of this emotional void.

As the song progresses, it becomes evident that the couple has grown apart, living a lie of love that has only widened the distance between them. The lyrics, "We have silently us long separated, and with each passing day we grew up the lie of our love," reflect the gradual and silent disintegration of their bond. The repetition of the word "distance" emphasizes the emotional and physical gap that has formed, making them "lonely - together." This paradoxical phrase captures the essence of their relationship, where they are physically together but emotionally isolated.

Despite the bleakness, there is a glimmer of hope in the latter part of the song. The lines "Dance - my life - dancing, dance with me, dance with me again, in the pure rush of naked love" evoke a longing for rekindling the passion and intimacy they once shared. The narrator expresses a desire to rediscover the foundation of their relationship, to find strength, hope, and faith in each other once more. The concluding plea, "If they only wanted, I want!" signifies a willingness to make an effort, provided there is mutual desire and commitment to revive their love.
