- Lorelei LyricsThere was a time when we sailed on together
Once had a dream that we shared on the way
And there was a place where we used to seek shelter
I never knew the pain of the price I would pay
You led me on with a cloak and a dagger
And I didn't know you had made other plans
You had me believe we were meant for forever
I really thought my heart would be safe in your hands
Lorelei
My ship has passed you by
And though you promised me to show the way
You led me astray
You were my Lorelei
What kind of fool was I?
'Cause I believed in every word you said
And now I wonder why, Lorelei?
And there was a time when we held one another
Baring our souls in the light of the flame
Those were the days, now I've lost my illusions
Sometimes I wake in the night and I call out your name
Lorelei
My ship has passed you by
And though you promised me to show the way
You led me astray
You were my Lorelei
What kind of fool was I?
'Cause I believed in every word you said
And now I wonder why, Lorelei?
And now there's a light that shines on the river
Blinding my eyes from so far away
Shot through the heart but now I know better
As hard as it is to resist the song that you play
Lorelei
My ship has passed you by
And though you promised me to show the way
You led me astray
Oh, Lorelei
What kind of fool was I?
'Cause I believed in every word you said
And now I wonder why, Lorelei?
Once had a dream that we shared on the way
And there was a place where we used to seek shelter
I never knew the pain of the price I would pay
You led me on with a cloak and a dagger
And I didn't know you had made other plans
You had me believe we were meant for forever
I really thought my heart would be safe in your hands
Lorelei
My ship has passed you by
And though you promised me to show the way
You led me astray
You were my Lorelei
What kind of fool was I?
'Cause I believed in every word you said
And now I wonder why, Lorelei?
And there was a time when we held one another
Baring our souls in the light of the flame
Those were the days, now I've lost my illusions
Lorelei
My ship has passed you by
And though you promised me to show the way
You led me astray
You were my Lorelei
What kind of fool was I?
'Cause I believed in every word you said
And now I wonder why, Lorelei?
And now there's a light that shines on the river
Blinding my eyes from so far away
Shot through the heart but now I know better
As hard as it is to resist the song that you play
Lorelei
My ship has passed you by
And though you promised me to show the way
You led me astray
Oh, Lorelei
What kind of fool was I?
'Cause I believed in every word you said
And now I wonder why, Lorelei?

When we take a closer look to the meaning, in the song 'Lorelei' which is created by Scorpions, the artist brings back memories of a relationship where the trust of the artist was completely shattered and the innocence was lost. The mythical figure Lorelei is a representation of the artist's deceiver and by the artist's share of false promises and illusions, he had to go through the painful process of acceptance that the disillusionment would never end and he would have to already plan how not to fall again for the same trick. The lyrics of Lorelei express predominantly suffering, self-examination, exasperation, despair, and longing. On the other hand, the composition also brings forth the themes of betrayal, unfulfilled dreams, and self-study as the positives found in the negatives, which accompanied the negative pronouncements made through the lyrics, e.g., heartache, and betrayal. These topics are indeed very sensitive and may not be suitable for very small kids. Through the absence of any swear words or explicit descriptions, still, the great intensity of emotions and the mature subject matter are among the reasons for the recommendation that parents' guidance is a must.
