This is my letter, my last letter
I really hope you read it up there
I couldn't even say goodbye, no
That's why these lines are written here on the page
We didn't warn you when it happened
I would really do anything to have you here again
I'll light a candle and it's just for you
I wish so much that you would speak to me one more time
Just sit in the group with us once more
One last discussion and the stupid jokes
The black rain falls and no one laughs anymore
Don't see any sun here, as if it were night
It's so hard to get up again
And even if someone makes it here, tears will fall
This dagger is in the heart, time does not heal wounds
You just get used to the pain!
This pain doesn't make my day easy
A thousand candles, one and your coffin was white
All the tears, damn I miss you so much
Please read this letter brother, it is so hard!
This pain doesn't make my day easy
A thousand candles, one and your coffin was white
All the tears, damn I miss you so much
Please read this letter brother, it is so hard!
Brother, are you okay?
I'm somewhere else now, but I can see you
At the funeral, I was cheerful again
But a chill ran down my spine
So many people, I know a few from back then
One even my dentist
The old class teacher, my very best friends
Even my very first girlfriend
My parents, brothers, uncles, aunts
And nobody understood it
You blame yourself, you worry
But I'm fine, I'm safe here
You have to live again now, I want you to laugh
And don't worry, I'm here, I'll see what you're doing
Kiss the boys for me, I miss you
See you again, with love, your best friend!
This pain doesn't make my day easy
A thousand candles, one and your coffin was white
All the tears, damn I miss you so much
Please read this letter brother, it is so hard!
This pain doesn't make my day easy
A thousand candles, one and your coffin was white
All the tears, damn I miss you so much
Please read this letter brother, it is so hard!
The pain doesn't make the day easy
A thousand candles and my coffin was white
All the tears, I miss you even more
Someday we'll see each other again
It's so hard, I can see it
I see how sad you are, hear angels, silent
And I run into the light
And I hope that you will laugh again soon
From now on I am the angel who watches over you

Dolch — dagger

Dolch translates to "dagger". It's a strong and evocative word that immediately brings to mind a sense of deep pain and betrayal, making it quite memorable.

In the song, the artist uses Dolch metaphorically to describe the intense emotional pain of loss, singing "Dieser Dolch steckt im Herz" (This dagger is stuck in the heart). This powerful imagery conveys the profound and sharp sorrow felt, making it a compelling word to feature.

This song, "Du Fehlst Mir" (You're Missing From Me), is a really emotional letter from two perspectives: one person grieving a lost friend, and the friend responding from the afterlife. It starts with the pain of loss, as the singer writes a "letzter Brief" [last letter], wishing their friend could read it. They regret not being able to say goodbye, and you can feel the deep sadness when they say, "Ich würd echt alles tun, dass du wieder hier bist" [I'd really do anything for you to be here again]. It's all about the struggle to move on, with lines like "Es ist so krass schwer, wieder aufzustehn" [It's so incredibly hard to get back up] and the idea that "Zeit heilt keine Wunden / Du gewöhnst dich nur an den Schmerz!" [Time doesn't heal wounds / You just get used to the pain!].

But then, the song shifts, and you hear from the friend who passed away. It's a comforting message from beyond, saying "Ich bin jetzt ganz woanders, doch kann dich sehen" [I'm somewhere else now, but I can see you]. The friend describes seeing everyone at the funeral, even their dentist and first girlfriend, and reassures their loved ones, "Mir geht's gut, hier bin ich geborgen" [I'm fine, I'm safe here]. They want their friends to live and laugh again, promising, "Ich bin ab jetzt der Engel, der über dich wacht" [From now on, I'm the angel watching over you]. It's a powerful song about grief, acceptance, and the enduring bond of friendship.
