entfachen means "to ignite" or "to kindle". It's a powerful verb that evokes the image of starting a fire, bringing something to life with a spark.
In this atmospheric song, the lyrics create a strong contrast with the line, "Im Dunkeln vergehen im Feuer entfachen" (To fade in the darkness, to ignite in the fire). The word suggests that the quiet of the night is not just for sleeping, but a time when a hidden passion or a true, creative self can be kindled and set ablaze.
Have you ever felt like the nighttime brings out a different side of you? In "Alles Schläft" (which means "Everything Sleeps"), Romanian artist Sellyy explores this exact feeling. The song is an ode to the night, not as a time of darkness, but as a sanctuary for freedom and self-discovery. When the world is quiet and asleep, the singer finally feels they can awaken. It's a time to show their 'wahres Wesen' (true self), to reinvent themselves, and feel totally unashamed.
The night is a powerful, creative space in this song. It's a time to be 'neu geboren' (reborn), to 'im Feuer entfachen' (ignite in fire), and to 'erblühen' (blossom). The silence isn't empty; it allows the singer to listen to their inner voice and 'die Ewigkeit fühlen' (feel eternity). The beautiful phrase 'ins schwarze Licht sehen' (to see into the black light) suggests finding a special kind of vision and truth only available in the peaceful dark, far from the distractions of the day.
