Der Tag An Dem Die Welt Unterging

We Butter The Bread With Butter's song "Der Tag An Dem Die Welt Unterging" translates to "The Day the World Ended" in English. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of an apocalyptic scenario where all life hangs by a thread. The song opens with a stark declaration of the world's end, immediately setting a tone of urgency and despair. The repeated line, "Und Alles Leben Am Seidenen Faden Hing" (And all life hung by a thread), emphasizes the fragility and precariousness of existence in this catastrophic moment.

The lyrics urge listeners to run for their lives and not look back, suggesting a sense of inevitable doom and the futility of clinging to the past. The mention of no more life or property highlights the totality of the destruction, leaving nothing behind. This apocalyptic vision is further reinforced by the breakdown section, where the phrase "Das Ist Die Apokalypse!" (This is the apocalypse!) is a stark reminder of the song's central theme.

The recurring question, "Was Ist Los? Was Ist Gescheh'n" (What is happening? What has happened?), reflects a sense of confusion and disbelief in the face of such overwhelming destruction. The repeated assertion that "Wir Werden Uns Nie Wieder Seh'n" (We will never see each other again) adds a layer of personal loss and finality to the global catastrophe. The song captures the essence of an apocalyptic event, blending themes of existential dread, loss, and the end of the world as we know it.
