Das Letzte Streichholz Lyrics

Lyric discussion by wirebird 

Cover art for Das Letzte Streichholz lyrics by Oomph!

it's about a girl that destroys its home because her parents treat (oder treated) her very bad. that's what you can read in the lyrics. but i think you can interpret more in it: the song could be generally about the point when you say "stop!" and take revenge for all the bad things people did to you. "Damit ihr wisst, wie es ist in der Hölle zu sein Damit ihr wisst wie es ist nach Erlösung zu schrein" (="So that you know what it's like To be in Hell So that you know what it's like To scream for redemption") and she song is called "das letzte streichholz" ("the last match") because after your payback (or the girl's), they can't harm you again. (literally the girl burns down her home and probably kills her parents. but i think that's meant figuratively for making sure they can never hurt you again.)
