In Flammen Lyrics in English Lea

Home / Lyrics Translation / Lea / In Flammen

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song In Flammen by Lea from German to English.

Moving to Hanover

Maybe just about a year ago

Wasn't even looking, suddenly you were there

Couldn't get you outta my head

Kind of love-struck

In the pouring rain to you

And suddenly it's four in the morning

Frozen pizza by candlelight

From the bed you can see the stars

I'd love to stay here and never leave again

You see something in me that I don't see

And I thought I was more to you

You're everything to me

But we're nothing

I'm setting everything on fire

The pictures in my head, what we were

You didn't want a name for us

And now we're in flames, nobody puts us out, d*mn

And I actually knew from the start

That this can't end well for us

Why do I stay and do this to myself?

I only see you in flames now

Out of nowhere

You text me how badly you miss me

And that everything here is so empty without me

I look for distraction but find nobody like you

Nobody like you

I don't want anybody like you

Get outta my head 'cause you break me inside

Everything's f*cked, everything we have

Felt it from the start, realized too late

Mad at myself, mad at the world

I'm setting everything on fire

The pictures in my head, what we were

You didn't want a name for us

And now we're in flames, nobody puts us out, d*mn

And I actually knew from the start

That this can't end well for us

Why do I stay and do this to myself?

I only see you in flames now

SONG MEANING

Lea’s “In Flammen” is a fiery snapshot of a love that burned bright and fast. The story begins with an innocent move to Hannover, only for the singer to be struck by Schockverliebt — love at first sight — in the pouring rain. Candle-lit frozen pizza, stargazing from bed and 4 a.m. conversations paint a picture of spontaneous romance. Yet, underneath the dreamy moments lies one big problem: they never gave their bond a name. What feels limitless to her is “nothing” to him, and that mismatch sets everything ablaze.

As memories ignite, the song wrestles with the push-and-pull of passion and pain. Our narrator knows from the start that this relationship is destined to crash, but she still clings to every spark. When he suddenly texts that he misses her, the flames roar back, leaving her angry at him, the world and herself. “In Flammen” captures the bittersweet thrill of loving someone who can’t commit — a reminder that an unnamed love can heat up fast, but without definition it often ends in smoke and ashes.
