Discover the story of the song > Der langsame Tod eines sehr großen Tieres – Herrenmagazin

The lyrics talk about a slow death of a very large animal. The protagonist talks about having a heart at his feet and the devil living below. He mentions feeling dizzy and a crowd of footsteps clouding his mind. The chorus talks about someone wanting something specific, which makes the protagonist lose his dignity and his ability to think straight. They have to hold on with their hands and feet for their whole life. In the second verse, the protagonist talks about a self-made life that keeps breaking, leaving only a little bit. But love remains endless, and he always puts himself last.
