Home / Lyrics Translation / Oomph! / Labyrinth

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Labyrinth by Oomph! from German to English.

Left, right, straight ahead

Intro

You won't get out of here anymore

Left, right, straight ahead

Intro

You won't get out of here anymore

Left, right, straight ahead

Madness has locked you up

And twisted your perfect world

Has planted itself in your head

Run, child, run, as fast as you can

You don't know who you are anymore

You don't know what love is anymore

Your reflection's disfigured

Nobody's here to stand by you

Knock, knock, let me in

Let me be your secret

Knock, knock

Knock, knock, let me in

Let me be your secret

Knock, knock, let me in

Let me be your secret

Left, right, straight ahead

You're in the labyrinth

Left, right, straight ahead

Nobody can tell you which doors are the right ones

My lost child

Left, right, straight ahead

You're in the labyrinth

Left, right, straight ahead

Nobody can tell you who the good and the bad are

My lost child

You've often banished me from yourself

Burned your heart on my wrath

Your second self, the second skin

I've built in your head

When I dive into your soul

And use you for my desire

Then I'll dazzle your senses

Only you can end the game

Knock knock, let me in

Let me be your secret

Knock knock

Knock knock, let me in

Let me be your secret

Knock knock, let me in

Let me be your secret

Left, right, straight ahead

You're in the labyrinth

Left, right, straight ahead

Nobody can tell you which doors are the right ones

My lost child

Left, right, straight ahead

You're in the labyrinth

Left, right, straight ahead

Nobody can tell you who the good and the bad are

You're in the labyrinth

Knock knock, let me in

Let me be your secret

Knock knock

Knock knock, let me in

Let me be your secret

Knock knock, let me in

Let me be your secret

Left, right, straight ahead

You're in the labyrinth

Left, right, straight ahead

Nobody can tell you which doors are the right ones

My lost child

Left, right, straight ahead

You're in the labyrinth

Left, right, straight ahead

Nobody can tell you who the good and the bad are

My lost child

Left, right, straight ahead

You're in the labyrinth

Left, right, straight ahead

Nobody can tell you which doors are the right ones

My lost child

Left, right, straight ahead

You're in the labyrinth

Left, right, straight ahead

Nobody can tell you who the good and the bad are

Left, right, straight ahead

You won't get out of here anymore

Left, right, straight ahead

You won't get out of here anymore

SONG MEANING

Labyrinth plunges us into a feverish maze inside the human mind. The constant chant "links, rechts, g'radeaus" (left, right, straight ahead) feels like frantic foot-steps echoing off cold walls, while an eerie voice knocks on the door of our thoughts with "Klopf, klopf, lass mich rein". The song paints madness as a manipulative companion that twists identity, love and reality until every mirror lies. We wander endless corridors, unsure which door hides safety and which unleashes more chaos.

At its heart, the track is a dark fairy tale about inner demons: a seductive alter-ego offers guidance but actually deepens the confusion. No one can label the good or the bad for us; escape demands confronting the voice and reclaiming control. Oomph! turns this psychological struggle into a pulsing industrial anthem that reminds listeners that the scariest labyrinth is often the one we build inside our own heads.
