Lichtgestalt Lyrics in English Lacrimosa

Have you ever felt an invisible force pulsing through your veins, tracing every move you make? That is exactly the sensation Lacrimosa conjure in “Lichtgestalt.” Over sweeping gothic orchestration, the narrator speaks as an all-pervasive presence: the breath on your skin, the sparkle on your eyelashes, even the unfulfilled dream haunting your sleep. The German title means “figure of light,” yet the lyrics twist light and shadow together, revealing a companion that is just as much yearning and pain as it is guidance and hope.

In essence, the song personifies the inescapable elements that shape a life: desire, fear, creativity, conscience, and destiny. No matter how fast you run or how far you roam, this inner force travels with you, whispering “Ich bin ein Teil von dir” – “I am a part of you.” By the final mantra of “Lichtgestalt,” you sense that embracing both your brilliance and your darkness is the only way to step out of the shadows and become that luminous figure yourself.
