Unendlichkeit translates directly to "infinity" or "endlessness". It's a beautiful and evocative German word that captures a sense of vastness and timelessness.
In "1000 Meere," Tokio Hotel uses this word to convey the immense journey and challenges the protagonists face. The line "Noch tausendmal durch die Unendlichkeit" (A thousand more times through infinity) emphasizes the enduring nature of their struggle and their hope for eventual freedom, making it a powerful and memorable concept within the song.
"1000 Meere" is about holding on to someone through distance and time. The singer describes a cold, empty night, the world feeling frozen, but keeps a picture of the person close and promises to cross a thousand seas to get back to them.
The chorus repeats that promise: a thousand more seas, a thousand dark years, and they'll finally be free together. It's a song about faith in a relationship surviving separation, even when the path back feels impossibly long.
By the end, the singer imagines looking back on this hard time once it's over, letting themselves drift toward the other person no matter what stands in the way.
