Home / Lyrics Translation / Oomph! / Labyrinth

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Labyrinth by Oomph! from German to English.

Left, right, straight ahead

Intro

You can't get out of here

Left, right, straight ahead

Intro

You can't get out of here

Left, right, straight ahead

Madness has locked you in

And distorted your intact world

It has planted itself in your head

Run, child, run as fast as you can

You don't know who you are anymore

You don't know what love is anymore

Your reflection has distorted

There's no one here to support you

Knock, knock, let me in

Let me be your secret

Knock, knock

Knock, knock, let me in

Let me be your secret

Knock, knock, let me in

Let me be your secret

Left, right, straight ahead

You're in the labyrinth

Left, right, straight ahead

No one can tell you which doors are the right ones

My lost child

Left, right, straight ahead

You're in the labyrinth

Left, right, straight ahead

No one can tell you who the good and the bad ones are

My lost child

You've often banished me from you

Burned your heart with my anger

Your second self, the second skin

I've built in your head

When I dive into your soul

And use you for my pleasure

Then I will blind your senses

Only you can end the game

Knock knock, let me in

Let me be your secret

Knock knock

Knock knock, let me in

Let me be your secret

Knock knock, let me in

Let me be your secret

Left, right, straight ahead

You're in the labyrinth

Left, right, straight ahead

No one can tell you which doors are the right ones

My lost child

Left, right, straight ahead

You're in the labyrinth

Left, right, straight ahead

No one can tell you who the good and the bad ones are

You're in the labyrinth

Knock knock, let me in

Let me be your secret

Knock knock

Knock knock, let me in

Let me be your secret

Knock knock, let me in

Let me be your secret

Left, right, straight ahead

You're in the labyrinth

Left, right, straight ahead

No one can tell you which doors are the right ones

My lost child

Left, right, straight ahead

You're in the labyrinth

Left, right, straight ahead

No one can tell you who the good and the bad ones are

My lost child

Left, right, straight ahead

You're in the labyrinth

Left, right, straight ahead

No one can tell you which doors are the right ones

My lost child

Left, right, straight ahead

You're in the labyrinth

Left, right, straight ahead

No one can tell you who the good and the bad ones are

Left, right, straight ahead

You can't get out of here

Left, right, straight ahead

You can't get out of here

SONG MEANING

Labyrinth plunges us into a feverish maze inside the human mind. The constant chant "links, rechts, g'radeaus" (left, right, straight ahead) feels like frantic foot-steps echoing off cold walls, while an eerie voice knocks on the door of our thoughts with "Klopf, klopf, lass mich rein". The song paints madness as a manipulative companion that twists identity, love and reality until every mirror lies. We wander endless corridors, unsure which door hides safety and which unleashes more chaos.

At its heart, the track is a dark fairy tale about inner demons: a seductive alter-ego offers guidance but actually deepens the confusion. No one can label the good or the bad for us; escape demands confronting the voice and reclaiming control. Oomph! turns this psychological struggle into a pulsing industrial anthem that reminds listeners that the scariest labyrinth is often the one we build inside our own heads.
