The lyrics contain metaphorical and figurative language, such as 'wie die Motten ins Licht' and 'süße Narben deine Wunde verzier'n', which require a solid grasp of German beyond the basics. The vocabulary includes emotionally and thematically abstract concepts like guilt, sin, and inner conflict, which demand contextual understanding. However, the repetitive structure of the chorus and relatively straightforward sentence constructions prevent it from reaching C1 level.
