Alles Brennt Lyrics in English Johannes Oerding

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Alles Brennt by Johannes Oerding from German to English.
Come on, give up, come on, give up, my mind tells me
And I stare with gray eyes silently at the wall
And I search the room but find no door
A way out, quick, away from here
My head's overheating and smoke rises
Blood boils, heart pounds, breath's short, nerves glow and fire sprays
Everything burns
Everything goes up in flames
All that remains
Is ash and smoke
But between black clouds
I see a little bit of blue
I hold my breath, run over the embers
Everything'll be fine
Too little space, too tight, even for one alone
Before they fall on me, I tear the walls down
Come on, get up, come on, get up, I tell my mind
And if there's no door, then I'll just go through the wall
All this has to go, all this has to be new
Stones melt, shards fly, straight ahead on new paths
Through the rain of fire
Everything burns
Everything goes up in flames
All that remains
Is ash and smoke
But between black clouds
I see a little bit of blue
I hold my breath, run over the embers
Everything'll be fine
And when it burns inside me again, I know for sure
That you fight fire
With fire
Everything burns
Everything goes up in flames
All that remains
Is ash and smoke
But between black clouds
I see a little bit of blue
I hold my breath, run over the embers
Everything burns
Everything goes up in flames
All that remains
Is ash and smoke
But between black clouds
I see a little bit of blue
I hold my breath, run over the embers
Everything'll be fine
Everything'll be fine

SONG MEANING

🔥 “Alles Brennt” paints a dramatic picture of a mind on fire: walls closing in, thoughts overheating, and everything familiar turning to ash. Instead of surrendering to panic, the singer decides to charge straight through the flames—literally walking over glowing embers—to break free from limiting beliefs. Fire symbolizes both destruction and renewal; what once held him back must burn away so something stronger can rise.

Amid swirling smoke, a sliver of blue sky appears, reminding us that hope hides even in crisis. By fighting fire with fire—using inner strength and fierce determination—the song promises rebirth: “Alles wird gut” (everything will be fine). It is a powerful anthem for anyone who feels trapped, urging listeners to ignite their courage, tear down mental walls, and step into a brighter future.
