[Verse 1] We suffer in silence, even though there's no reason to. We're often sad, even though someone loves us. We're terrified, even though no danger threatens us, and we become impulsive over small things when we find ourselves in distress. We're overwhelmed by circumstances, completely speechless… and no one can describe the how and why. Ultimately, every person must find their own way to be free again. [Pre-Chorus] Often it's a symptom that unconsciously blocks us because our soul doesn't yet understand the deeper meaning. When it persists, no matter what happens, and doesn't go away despite all our willpower. Despite all our good intentions, we're left standing there. What keeps bringing us back to this scenario? Is it fate that was close to us? Or are we ourselves the greatest mystery? [solo] [Chorus] Because relationships are the stuff our souls are made of; they shape our psyche, even as small children. Only through the other person do you discover who you are, when you forget the old patterns and the fear. Only when we know and understand what we are doing today do we gain the freedom to finally rest. [Verse 2] From childhood experiences within our own family, a deep, silent knowledge of ourselves arises. It becomes the lens through which we view the world and determines the path we secretly follow. Are we good enough? And how are we built? Are we loved? Have we ever been trusted? Do we feel safe as the day slowly passes? Or do we sense the fear that arises in the shadows? [Pre-Chorus] But we can change, through closeness and renewed strength, because a new relationship often creates a small miracle. For behind many difficult steps in this world lies an unheard plea, something that secretly torments the soul. [Refrain] For relationships are the very fabric of our souls; they shape our psyches, even as small children. Only through others do you discover who you truly are, when you forget the old patterns and the fear. Only when we know and understand what we are doing today do we gain the freedom to finally rest. [solo] [Bridge] It is a silent longing to be seen and loved, an old anger because one was never heard on Earth. It is the fear of losing the other person forever, and of spinning in circles alone in a cold room. An inner retreat to avoid being hurt, yet behind all the walls, the light breaks through once more. [Outro] Find your own path, the one that is right for you. [Bridge] So that you can solve the puzzle and never forget yourself. Freed from patterns… It just takes time… To be seen and loved… For ourselves… mmmhhhh [for ourselves]
