Nobody steals my hope
My pain writes songs
Even if the shadows are like brothers to you
Believe me, the sun will come back soon
Nobody steals my hope
My pain writes songs
Even if the shadows are like brothers to you
Believe me, the sun will come back soon
Let me laugh again like I'm still a child
The eyes become useless when the mind has been blind for a long time
Forget what I'm looking for, but hoping to find something
Please give me something, something I'm still meant for
I haven't been able to feel for a long time
When you forget how to cry, you cry inside yourself
Even if it hurts, I'll stay here
Because the hope in me knows: I can be even more
I will learn to cry again, learn to laugh again
Even when I hurt myself, I forgive more again
I no longer want to wear the mask that hides my inner self
And I'll learn life again, my friend, if it still lets me
Nobody steals my hope
My pain writes songs
Even if the shadows are like brothers to you
Believe me, the sun will come back soon
Nobody steals my hope
My pain writes songs
Even if the shadows are like brothers to you
Believe me, the sun will come back soon
Why do we always make problems bigger than they are?
Your false pride will not be the one that helps you
Not everyone steals your dreams when you sleep
Brother, give me a little hope and then you'll get something in return
Far too often I hated and wasn't happy with myself
Man, fuck the drugs, I was addicted to the pain
I see demons all fighting for my heart
But I don't begrudge them the last little piece of it anymore
Even if I don't have anything left, I'll give you half
Don't expect the worst, but hope for the best
Unfortunately, your biggest opponent is always yourself
It gets very dark before it gets light again
Nobody steals my hope
My pain writes songs
Even if the shadows are like brothers to you
Believe me, the sun will come back soon
Nobody steals my hope
My pain writes songs
Even if the shadows are like brothers to you
Believe me, the sun will come back soon

DämonenDemons

Dämonen translates directly to "demons". It's a striking and evocative word that immediately grabs attention, suggesting a deeper, more intense struggle than everyday vocabulary.

In the context of the song, Kontra K uses "Dämonen" to personify his internal battles and struggles, such as addiction and pain. He sings, "Ich seh' Dämonen sich alle streiten um mein Herz" (I see demons all fighting over my heart), illustrating a powerful internal conflict where negative forces are vying for control over his core self. This metaphorical use makes the word particularly impactful and memorable.

Kontra K and Santos bring us a powerful anthem about resilience and finding light in the darkness. The song, "Die Sonne" (The Sun), is a defiant declaration that "Meine Hoffnung klaut mir niemand" [No one steals my hope] and even when "die Schatten für dich sind wie Brüder" [the shadows are like brothers to you], you can "Glaub mir, die Sonne kommt bald wieder" [believe me, the sun will come again soon].

It's a really honest look at struggling with inner demons and the journey to self-acceptance. The lyrics talk about wanting to "Lass mich einma' wieder lachen, als ob ich noch ein Kind bin" [Let me laugh again once, as if I were still a child] and the pain of feeling numb, where "Ich kann schon lange nicht mehr fühlen" [I haven't been able to feel for a long time]. But even through that struggle, there's a strong message of not giving up, of learning to "das Weinen wieder lernen, das Lachen wieder lernen" [learn to cry again, learn to laugh again], and taking off the mask that hides your true self. It's all about holding onto that last bit of hope and believing that after the darkest night, the sun will always rise again.
