Song Meaning of “Das Attentat” by Jubiläumscast Wien 2012
“Das Attentat” is an anthem to fiercely resist against authoritative oppression. The song tells the story of a group of people who rally up against their oppressors in a time of great difficulty in the face of tyranny. It speaks of how we must come together, to be strong, and to stand firm.
The lyrics draw from images of violence and warfare: “the thunder and the echo of destroyed/ruined homes” and of a “king who surrenders in agony.” But even in the midst of turmoil, the chorus is an inspirational and hopeful plea:
“We stand together/be larger than their anger/it can’t be forgotten/let it fill you with strength.”
This message of courage and determination to fight for freedom is a powerful one. Through its timeliness and sheer passion, “Das Attentat” is a tribute to those who struggle against oppressive forces and a call to action, that no matter what we face we must remain steadfast.
