Lyrics
Original German#
Leise Tür
kaltes Licht
deine Angst
spricht für dich
Keine Spur
kein Gericht
was du sagst
verrate ich nicht
Vertrau dich mir
tief in der Nacht
vertrau dich mir
ich halte Wacht
Vertrau dich mir
fall in den Klang
vertrau dich mir
ein Leben lang
Dein Geheimnis
schläft in mir
wie ein Schatten
nah bei dir
Keine Frage
kein Beweis
nur dein Atem
dünn wie Eis
Vertrau dich mir
tief in der Nacht
vertrau dich mir
ich halte Wacht
Vertrau dich mir
fall in den Klang
vertrau dich mir
ein Leben lang
Sag es leise
sag es blind
alles Dunkle
wird zu Wind
Komm noch näher
ohne Licht
was du flüsterst
bricht mich nicht
Vertrau dich mir
vertrau dich mir
nur heute Nacht
vertrau dich mir
English translation#
Quiet door
cold light
your fear
speaks for you
No trace
no trial
what you say
I will not betray
Confide in me
deep in the night
confide in me
I keep watch
Confide in me
fall into the sound
confide in me
for a lifetime
Your secret
sleeps in me
like a shadow
close to you
No question
no proof
only your breathing
thin as ice
Confide in me
deep in the night
confide in me
I keep watch
Confide in me
fall into the sound
confide in me
for a lifetime
Say it softly
say it blind
all the darkness
turns to wind
Come closer
without light
what you whisper
will not break me
Confide in me
confide in me
only tonight
confide in me
The idea#
This track is about the dangerous side of trust. The voice does not ask for a public confession, or for a truth that can be checked, judged, and forgiven in daylight. It asks for the secret at night, behind a quiet door, where there is no witness and no proof. “What you say, I will not betray” sounds like protection, but it also creates a private room that only two people can enter.
The repeated “vertrau dich mir” is tender because it offers shelter, but it is not innocent. A secret that “sleeps in me” becomes part of the other person’s body; care begins to resemble possession. The promise to keep watch can mean devotion, but it can also mean that someone is now standing guard over the most vulnerable thing you have given away.
By the end, darkness is not defeated by explanation. It becomes wind because it has finally been spoken. The song understands confession as surrender: come closer, turn off the light, say the thing that frightens you, and trust that the one holding it will not use it to break you.
