Komm Susser Tod Lyrics
I know, I know I've let you down
I've been a fool to myself
I thought that I could
Live for no one else
But now, through all the hurt and pain
Its time for me to respect
The ones you love, mean more than anything
So with sadness in my heart
Feel the best thing I could do
Is end it all, and leave forever
What's done is done, it feels so bad
What once was happy now is sad
I'll never love again
My world is ending
I wish that I could turn back time
'Cause now the guilt is all mine
Can't live without the trust from the ones you love.
I know we can't forget the past
You can't forget love and pride
Because of that, its killing me inside
It all returns to nothing, it all comes
tumbling down, tumbling down,
tumbling down,
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down,
In my heart of hearts,
I know that I could never love again
I've lost everything
Everything
Everything that matters to me,
Matters in this world
I wish that I could turn back time
'Cause now the guilt is all mine
Can't live without
The trust from those you love
I know, we can't forget the past
You can't forget love and pride
Because of that, its killing me inside
It all returns to nothing, it just keeps
tumbling down, tumbling down,
tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down
It all returns to nothing, it just keeps
tumbling down, tumbling down,
tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down
I've been a fool to myself
I thought that I could
Live for no one else
But now, through all the hurt and pain
Its time for me to respect
The ones you love, mean more than anything
So with sadness in my heart
Feel the best thing I could do
Is end it all, and leave forever
What's done is done, it feels so bad
What once was happy now is sad
I'll never love again
My world is ending
'Cause now the guilt is all mine
Can't live without the trust from the ones you love.
I know we can't forget the past
You can't forget love and pride
Because of that, its killing me inside
tumbling down, tumbling down,
tumbling down,
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down,
I know that I could never love again
I've lost everything
Everything
Everything that matters to me,
Matters in this world
'Cause now the guilt is all mine
Can't live without
The trust from those you love
I know, we can't forget the past
You can't forget love and pride
Because of that, its killing me inside
tumbling down, tumbling down,
tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down
It all returns to nothing, it just keeps
tumbling down, tumbling down,
tumbling down
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
letting me down, letting me down,
letting me down
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
the chord progression is the same as that in pachelbel's canon, which isnt too unusual in pop music, but significant here because canon was also used in evangelion. the amount of very good original music in evangelion is very notable. rei I, II, and III and also dance like you want to win come to mind. never thought id hear steel guitar in a light bubbly song about suicide before lol.
also, for anyone who's interested, komm susser tod is german for "come, sweet death"
Strange to see that no one has commented on this wonderful song. It's actually based on one of J.S Bach's piano pieces. Although the music is beautiful and cheerful, the lyrics basically tell of someone who has given up on love and wants to "end it all", because of the pain of memories. Appropriate for the movie which it's played in.
This is the song that's played in the middle of the movie End of Evangelion. I'm not gonna spoil it for anyone but it's quite a WTF moment.
I remember watching that scene in End of Evangelion and I found it so moving I was nearly reduced to tears.
Ths ong is just so beautiful
How can you turn sadness to beauty?
First time I heard it, at least until Arianne started singing, I thought it was a Beatles song. Anyways, it's ridiculous how well it fits in with what happens in the End of Evangelion. Never would have thought a song like this would be utilized in this manner.
@Goatllama Anno actually planned on using Hey Jude for the ending but that wasn\'t possible due to circumstances so Komm Susser Tod was made in it\'s place.

@anne101824 Oh my, a comment from the me of 9 years ago! How strange. I must have just been a budding Evangelion fan then. Haha. This site is great for time capsule comments like this, I really enjoy it. :)
