Du Explodierst Lyrics in English Revolverheld

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Du Explodierst by Revolverheld from German to English.
You jump off the abyss without a parachute
Your blood is nitroglycerin
You won't stop for anything or anyone
Adrenaline in your tank
Today's the day of days
Marked red on the calendar
There's not one open question
You know exactly what's about to happen
You explode
You let it all out
The whole world gives you applause
You explode
You finally break out
You just scream it all out
You were as good as dead for way too long
And nobody cared
Leave the grave in your cemetery
Don't wait till you freeze to death
Your body trembles under high voltage
Time and space don't matter now
A voice whispers, "Come on!"
And you simply have no choice
You explode
You let it all out
The whole world gives you applause
You explode
You finally break out
You just scream it all out
You explode
You explode
You explode
You explode
You explode
You explode
You explode
You explode
You explode
Come on
You explode

SONG MEANING

Feel like your life is stuck on pause? "Du Explodierst" is Revolverheld’s sonic energy drink. The lyrics paint an action-movie picture: you jump off a cliff without a parachute, your bloodstream turns into nitroglycerin, and the only fuel in your tank is pure adrenaline. Today is the day that’s been circled in red on your calendar, and every fiber of your being knows exactly what comes next: an unstoppable blast of pent-up power.

Beneath the fireworks imagery, the song is a rallying cry to break free from a numb, half-alive existence. It urges you to crawl out of your own metaphorical grave, shake off the frost of indifference, and let every emotion detonate outward. When the chorus shouts “Du explodierst,” it’s cheering for that moment when you finally rip off the restraints, scream your truth to the world, and earn a standing ovation for simply being fully alive.
