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…
