Your heart beats on the edge
The night conceals your final word
So cruel, so careless
Fate tears you away from me
I let you go, must break free
'Cause my longing catches up with me
Forever yours
Chorus 1
Forgive me, stay with me
And I still said: 'Forget-me-not'
I give you one last light in farewell
Forget-me-not
Forget-me-not
Forget-me-not, forget-me-not
Forget-me-not
Your gaze sinks into night-red
I tear myself loose with my last strength
So cruel, so holy
You lie before me, it's done
I let you go, must break free
'Cause my longing catches up with me
Forever yours
Forgive me, stay with me
And I still said: 'Forget-me-not'
I give you one last light in farewell
Forget-me-not
Forget-me-not
Forget-me-not, forget-me-not
Stay with me
Forget-me-not
This time it'll be forever
This wound will heal too
I tear myself loose, must break free
'Cause our fate catches up with us
Forgive me, stay with me
And I still said: 'Forget-me-not'
I give you one last light in farewell
Forget-me-not
Forget-me-not
Forget-me-not, forget-me-not
Forgive me
Forget-me-not

SONG MEANING

Eisbrecher’s “Vergissmeinnicht” (Forget-me-not) plunges us into a dramatic farewell scene where love, fate, and personal freedom collide. The narrator stands at an emotional cliff edge as night hides a partner’s letztes Wort (last word) and destiny drags the two apart. Amid pounding guitars he offers one fragile gift—a final light of remembrance—while begging, “Vergissmeinnicht.” The song’s gothic imagery (hearts beating at the abyss, crimson-tinged night) makes the plea feel like a spell cast against oblivion.

Under the thunderous industrial sound, the lyrics wrestle with a painful paradox: “Ich lass dich los, muss mich befrei’n” (I let you go, I must free myself) yet “Auf ewig dein” (forever yours). Guilt and longing twist together as he tries to break free from obsession, convinced that even when wounds heal, the memory must live on. “Vergissmeinnicht” shines as a dark anthem about letting go without being forgotten, just like the tiny blue flower that forever whispers remember me.
