Cider Lyrics in English 01099 , Paul, $OHO BANI
Asi is a fascinating word in this context because it's a play on words. While it literally means "like that" or "in that way" in standard German, here it's used as a colloquial, shortened form of "asozial" (asocial).
The lyrics "Wir leben nicht normal Baby, nein, wir kommen asi" suggest a lifestyle that is unconventional, perhaps even rebellious or outside of societal norms. This double meaning makes it a clever and memorable word that captures the song's edgy vibe.
Ever been in a relationship that feels good but isn't quite what it used to be? That's the core idea behind "Cider." The artists compare a lover's affection to the sweet, apple-flavored drink. It "tastes so good," but it doesn't give them that exciting, intoxicating "high" anymore. Despite this, they find themselves unable to leave, admitting, "But I always keep going."
The song paints a picture of a complicated and sometimes unstable connection. One moment, the love is sweet like cider, but the next, the woman is described as being "so cold, I slip as if on ice." Their relationship is something no one else understands, and they admit it isn't necessarily "good," but it fits them. It's a cycle of good days followed by distance, fueled by wine and a shared feeling of not wanting to be alone.
