Song Meaning of “Der Albtraum – Schneewittchen / Jäger / Hexe / Königin” by Frank Nimsgern
This song tells the story of the classic Grimm Brothers’ fairytale, Schneewittchen (Snow White). In the song, Frank Nimsgern brings to life the various characters in this beloved story.
The chorus speaks of the dream-like journey of Snow White as she embarks on her quest to find a way to escape the jealous Queen’s evil clutches. We can relate to the emotion of fear and dread as Basset Horns sound behind her, and she is followed by The Huntsman and The Witch throughout her journey.
The verse speaks of the timeless battle between good and evil as Snow White finds herself surrounded by the Queen’s malicious words and the blinding beckoning of the Witch’s evil magic. We can feel her confusion and despair as she is unsure of who to trust or where to turn.
In the end, the song comes full circle as Snow White wakes up from her dream-like state and we are reminded of her strength and courage. Through her ordeal she shows us that with persistence and faith we can all overcome our darkest nightmares.
