Zerstören (English) Lyrics

I want to maintain my things
Put the remainder in debris and ash
Tear up, throw away
Crush, pick to pieces
I go at the garden fence along
Again I sense this pressure
I have to destroy
Yet it may not belong to me
I have to destroy
Yet it may not belong to me

I take your seven special
And would defeat them
Take apart, Break down
Don’t ask, smash to pieces
And now the King discipline
Rip the head of the doll
Injure, shred, disintegrate
Destroy
Yet it may not belong to me
I have to destroy

I’m going to destroy something
Yet it may not belong to me
I want to be a good boy
Yet the desire overtakes me
I have to destroy
Yet it may not belong to me

Tear up, throw away
Crush, pick to pieces
Swipe, cut up
Don’t ask, smash to pieces
Shred, injure
Burn then run
Take apart, break down
Break, take revenge

He met a girl, she was blind
Divided sorrow and same minded
Saw a falling star
Wishing she could see again

She opened her eyes
Lost them yet the same night

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think it's about someone (probaly a guy) with a contuing drive to destroy to feel power. Sounds a bit like battery to me, or fuel and benzin? anyhow... I think the 4 lines before the last 2 are about that he has finally found someone who shares his drive to destroy which can finally give him peace in his hart. to thank her for that he makes a wish for her to see. The wish is granted but again the fact that it happens the same night (i guess the urge comes back in jus a few hours) proves that his urge to destroy is unstoppable

Note that muss means more like must than have to.

So it's "I must destroy."

It is all wanton destruction until the last 6 lines. Those lines are the most interesting part of the song. They seem to have nothing to do withthe rest of the song. I wonder what their meaning is?

The "King's Discipline" for those that don't know is a translation of Konigsdiziplin which has no direct equivalent in English. It is often used to denote something that is the best. Here it probably is closer to the phrase "To top it all off."
