“Einerseits andererseits”
(“On the one side, on the other side” - “On the one hand, on the other hand”*)
On the one side I'm the rapper with flow
On the other side I'm the singer with soul
On the one side my life is like a movie
On the other side like a photo, everyone makes his own picture
and wants to frame me
I break the frame and kill
negativity like Uma Thurman Bill
and go on my way as if everything is already predetermined
I don't look back, because my goals lie ahead
there where the sun shines
there where love grows and thrives
after the clouds cry
comes a better time
put the umbrella away, for it rains because God wills it
let the drops dry on you and you are finally free
On the one side everything is logical
when you understand it
On the other side it's not a matter of logic
we keep running in circles
but this time the mistakes are not repeated
and I send these words to you like a letter
Refrain (2x)
On the one side, on the other side, yeah on the one side
life is a constant back and forth
On the one side, on the other side, yeah on the one side
and no one can explain the sense of it to you
On the one side, after rain comes sun
On the other side, after sun comes the rain
a constant back and forth
Welcome to life
full of hurdles, dangers, many stones in your path
some are confident to go on
some only stay where they are
not going ahead
like skateboarding in the sand
and remain trapped in their solarium-summer
and hope that it will all ease their pain
but like offers spring, summer, fall and winter
so cry like the clouds, laugh like the sun and dance
Problems melt away like an ice floe on the beach
sometimes the sh** tries to get into your heart
I allow it, because the sun is worth nothing without rain
On the one side, I walk about like a lost soul ("lost souls")
On the other side, I try to learn from my mistakes
Maybe I'm not learning from my mistakes this time as well
and I send these words like a letter to myself
Refrain (2x)
On the one side, on the other side, yeah on the one side
life is a constant back and forth
On the one side, on the other side, yeah on the one side
and no one can explain the sense of it to me
Refrain (2x)
On the one side, on the other side, yeah on the one side
life is a constant back and forth
On the one side, on the other side, yeah on the one side
and no one can explain the sense of it to us
(2x)
Such is life
that's how it's supposed to be
because after the rain
comes sunshine
It all begins again from the start
*Because of the video for this song, with its "side-by-side" imagery, I have used the more literal "on the one side" rather than "on the one hand" to translate "einerseits." - HF
