Know yourself

Our life is only about you.

I am just the sidedish.

Whatever you want, you want it now

Like a child stamping his foot

I don’t know myself anymore

I used to be so strong and so self determined

I don’t see my true self anymore

And what I see, I don’t like at all

I am dancing to your flat tune

You dictate the rhythm, the tempo,

if it is in major or minor

Of course you decide everything

I don’t know myself anymore

I used to be so strong and so self determined

I don’t see my true self anymore

And what I seem, I don’t like at all

There is a little bird sitting in a golden cage

She is singing a sad tune

The door is open

But she doesn’t have the guts to go through

The little coward – that is me

I don’t know myself anymore

I used to be so strong and so self determined

I don’t see my true self anymore

And what I see, I don’t like at all

‘Erkenn mich’ is about growing up. It is about realising that the relationship you are in, has turned you into a different person. Into someone you don’t like and don’t recognise anymore. The song is about being at the verge of freeing yourself and returning to your old strong and self-determined nature.
