Federleicht literally translates to "feather-light" or "light as a feather". It's a vivid and evocative compound word that paints a clear picture of weightlessness.
In the context of the song, Beatrice Egli sings "Fühle mich federleicht, bin froh, ich selbst zu sein" (I feel feather-light, I'm happy to be myself). This word beautifully captures the feeling of liberation and freedom that comes with making a fresh start and shedding past burdens, making it a memorable and inspiring choice.
"Neuanfang" ("New Beginning") is Beatrice Egli's song about the courage it takes to start over. She opens feeling adrift, like a ship without a sail, unsure which direction is right.
By the chorus she has made her choice. She is resetting everything and trusting how she feels now, with no need to compare it to who she used to be.
In the bridge she admits the fear comes first, but every new beginning needs an ending before it. She lets go of what scares her and follows her heart, whatever direction that takes her.
