Revolution Lyrics in English Lacrimosa

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Revolution by Lacrimosa from German to English.
Humankind has created a world
That's hostile to humans
Hardly any room left for love
Only substitute satisfaction
Self-fulfilment at any price instead of self-reflection
Greed and envy aren't food
It takes a revolution
Spit it out now, spit it all out, baby
Spit it out now, spit it all out
Spit it out now, spit it all out, baby
Spit it out now, spit it all out
This is our revolution
This is our revolution
This is our revolution
This is our revolution
This is our revolution
This is our revolution
Have you ever
Fought back?
I really believe it, no, I don't believe it
Do you know where you stand and what you feel?
I really believe it, no, I don't believe it
Spit it out now, spit it all out, baby
Spit it out now, spit it all out
Spit it out now, spit it all out, baby
Spit it out now, spit it all out
This is our revolution
This is our revolution
This is our revolution
This is our revolution
This is our revolution
This is our revolution
Just stand up, stop looking away
I don't wanna stay silent anymore
This revolution is the evolution
And a sick man falls!
Just stand up, stop looking away
I don't wanna stay silent anymore
This revolution is the evolution
And a sick man falls!
Nobody's alone on this earth
Yet everybody's alone in this world!
Nobody's alone on this earth
Yet everybody's alone in this world!
Nobody's alone on this earth
Yet everybody's alone in this world!
Nobody's alone on this earth
Yet everybody's alone in this world!

SONG MEANING

Prepare to raise your fist and your voice! In “Revolution,” Finnish–Swiss duo Lacrimosa paints a dramatic picture of a world we humans have warped into a hostile, loveless place. With pounding drums and commanding German lyrics, the song lists our modern vices — greed, envy, shallow self-gratification — and then dares the listener to spit them out. Every urgent chorus becomes a rallying cry that shakes us from passive scrolling and forces us to ask, “Do you even know where you stand, or what you feel?”

The band’s answer is clear: real change begins when we stop looking away, refuse to stay silent, and let our personal awakening spark a collective uprising. Lacrimosa calls this uprising both a Revolution and an Evolution, suggesting that standing up for empathy is not just rebellion; it is humanity’s next step forward. Although “no one is alone on this earth,” the song reminds us that many feel isolated in the world we have built. That loneliness ends the moment we sing along, spit it all out, and join the fight for a kinder, more reflective society.
