Mach Dein Licht An Lyrics in English by Ich + Ich
Verblassen means "to fade" or "to dim." It's a beautiful and evocative verb that goes beyond simple disappearance, suggesting a gradual loss of intensity or brightness.
In "Mach Dein Licht An," the lyrics encourage the listener to "Lass die Sterne verblassen" (Let the stars fade). This powerful imagery urges them to shine so brightly with their own inner light that even the stars seem to dim in comparison, emphasizing self-empowerment and resilience during difficult times.
This song is a total pick-me-up! It's all about finding your way through tough times and not giving up. Imagine a love ending, and you're left "im Dunkeln stehen" [standing in the dark]. The lyrics describe an "eisiger Regen mitten in dein Leben" [icy rain in the middle of your life] and feeling like things are going down, not up. But instead of staying there, the song tells you to "Zieh deine Winterjacke an" [Put on your winter jacket] and, most importantly, "Mach dein Licht an" [Turn on your light] and "weiter geht's" [keep going].
It's like a friend telling you to literally shine through the streets, so bright that you "Lass die Sterne verblassen" [make the stars fade]! Even if someone let you down, or your plans didn't work out, the song asks, "Was ist daran so schlimm?" [What's so bad about that?] and reminds you not to "jetzt nicht schlapp" [give up now]. It's a powerful message to keep your inner light burning, no matter what. You've got this!
