The desperate longing to find the warmth of a relationship is painfuly expressed in the vocalist’s words; “Komm schnell zu mir, dein Feuer lässt mich leben”- “Come quickly to me, your fire lets me live”.
The song talks of the hope that someone will have enough warmth to to melt away the ice, finally allowing for a free and unrestricted connection. In the chorus, the singer repeats; “Lieb mich, befrei mich, verschmelz mich mit deiner Wärme”- “Love me, free me, meld me with your warmth” in the desperate hope that someone will come and break down the barrier of his own heart.

He sings, “Hilf mir, ich bin eingefroren und taub, Und mein Herz ist aus Eis, Bring mich zum Leben, Mach mich zu deinem”—“Help me, I’m frozen and numb, And my heart is made of ice, Bring me to life, Make me yours”.
