Gehen Lyrics in English by M. Marchelier
Wiederkehrt comes from the verb wiederkehren, meaning 'to return' or 'to recur'. While 'return' might seem common, its use here is particularly poignant and less everyday than simply 'kommen' (to come).
In the context of the song, the artist sings, "Ich muss es selbst beenden bevor's wiederkehrt" (I have to end it myself before it returns/recurs). This implies a cycle of pain or a negative state that keeps coming back, making the word 'wiederkehrt' deeply impactful and central to the song's theme of breaking free from a recurring struggle.
This song, "Gehen" by M. Marchelier, is a really intense look at feeling completely overwhelmed and ready to give up. The lyrics describe a deep sense of despair, where the singer feels like they can leave when they "anfange keine Tage zu zählen" [start to count no days] and even the brightest star fades. It's about feeling so burdened that you can barely stand, and seeing nothing despite having everything.
The feeling of isolation is strong, with the line "Wenn kein Mensch den ich kenn die Qualen versteht" [When no person I know understands the torments]. The singer also questions faith, saying they can leave "Wenn Gott den Schmerz nicht hinterfragt im Gebet" [When God doesn't question the pain in prayer]. The imagery of crying "Meere voller Tränen die ich nicht halten kann" [seas full of tears that I cannot hold] really hits hard, showing a profound sadness and exhaustion. It's a powerful song about reaching a breaking point and the desire to find an end to the struggle.
