Segel setzen Lyrics

Cover art for Segel setzen lyrics by In Extremo

"Hoisting sails

When the moon is losing it's light The sun no longer warms you When dwarfs become giants The world is praising old heroes When the shadows grow longer When the hate makes breathing hard Words burn deep in the heart And you feel, you're going mad

Then come with me on the journey Then come with me far away Take with you your dreams Before the year gets grey

When the days are getting longer Spiders weave their webs When all words have been said Then it's time to flee When the thunder is growing louder Wrong notes are suddenly art Cowards become tin gods Then there's no place here for us

Then come with me on the journey Then come with me far away Take with you your dreams Before the year gets grey

Let us hoist the sails Let us flee from here I don't want to miss you You may kidnap me

Take them with you - your dreams

Then come with me on the journey Then come with me far away Take with you your dreams Before the year gets grey"

I think this one is quite easy to understand for a song of In Extremo: It's about realizing when things have changed and you no longer fit in the way you are. This song does not promote to fight the changes, but to get away from them. Better leave those who no longer understand you and remain who you are and keep your dreams. Because it's about someone who is offering to take one with him this is not a song of despair, but in fact of hope for a better place to live.
