Wie Diamanten

Original Song ist auf Deutsch hier die Übersetzung.

I look back, the film runs black and white

Life was a teacher, but it demanded its price

Sometimes featherlight, then heavy as lead and hard

Every dark hour played its own quiet part

We’re raw stones, buried deep in the dirt of time

Through pressure and pain we gain clarity and shine

Experiences grind us, edge by edge, piece by piece

Until we’re diamonds – and there’s no way back

Sometimes something breaks, the shards stay on the ground

You can’t glue them together, you just keep moving on

Time grinds us like diamonds

Slow and hard, until we sparkle

Every cut, every break, every scar

Makes us sharper, makes us whole

We fight it, but it carries us along

Time grinds us like diamonds

Like diamonds…

There’s this one love that still burns inside of me

The first or the last one, the one I only name quietly

A stab in the heart, you think nothing will ever come after

But then the next one stands there and wakes you up faster

You plan and you hope, but nothing turns out quite as you thought

We search for a guide that finally gives us the answers we sought

But we just drift in the current, fighting it all in vain

Until we arrive at the end – and understand who we became

Sometimes something breaks, the shards stay on the ground

You can’t glue them together, you just keep moving on

Time grinds us like diamonds

Slow and hard, until we sparkle

Every cut, every break, every scar

Makes us sharper, makes us whole

We fight it, but it carries us along

Time grinds us like diamonds

Like diamonds…

And someday it falls silent

The edges are polished

We sparkle in the light

Even though it hurt like hell

Time grinds us like diamonds

Slow and hard, until we sparkle

Every cut, every break, every scar

Makes us sharper, makes us whole

We don’t fight anymore, we let it take us

Time grinds us like diamonds

Like diamonds…
