Mach die Augen zu
"Mach die Augen zu" is a punk song by Die Ärzte. It is the eighth track and the second single from their 1993 album Die Bestie in Menschengestalt. This song is about a relationship where one side wants to end the relationship and the other side desperately wants to keep pretending.
Translated excerpt:
Close your eyes and kiss me
I don't mind if you pretend
I forget what happened
And I hope and I dream
''I wouldn't have lost you yet''
The video
The video is based on the fairy tale of Snow White. Shown is how the woman bites a poisonous apple from a tree and then falls asleep. The dwarves carry her in a casket and a spider builds a web over her. Also is shown how a clumsy knight makes his way to the woman, finds her in the casket surrounded by dwarves, shreds the web and kisses the woman. The woman awakes, takes his helmet off and kisses him. She then proceeds to strip him from his armor. The video ends with the woman lifting the knight on the horse and walking beside it along the road.Track listing
