Einer Dieser Steine Lyrics in English Sido , Mark Forster

Home / Lyrics Translation / Sido / Einer Dieser Steine

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Einer Dieser Steine by Sido from German to English.

Weathered and scarred by life

Bitter and surrounded by temptations

Like behind bars, always the same

Every one of my steps caused trouble

At night sunk in a nasty way

Almost drowned in a lake full of sh*t

Nobody took me along, I lacked maturity

But some stones just need to be polished

You came by, had your compass with you

You saw that this one stone is special

You took it with you and didn't sink it in the sea

Gave it a big warm place in your heart

Do you still know the place where I waited for you?

Side by side with the other stones I lay there

I was cold, without a home and alone

Before you came, I was just one of those stones

I was so dust-covered before you found me

You set me in motion, finally gave me fresh drive

I was cold, petrified and alone

Before you came, I was just one of those stones

Without a home and alone

Just one of those stones

You build me up, lie down next to me

I can talk about everything with you

Or just gesture without words

Back then I surely wouldn't have got that

You led me onto new paths

I felt life for the first time

I also know that not everybody gets that luck

I won't leave again, I'm only here because of you

You came by, had your compass with you

You saw that this one stone is special

You took it with you and didn't sink it in the sea

Gave it a big warm place in your heart

Do you still know the place where I waited for you?

Side by side with the other stones I lay there

I was cold, without a home and alone

Before you came I was just one of those stones

I was so dust-covered before you found me

You set me in motion, finally gave me fresh drive

I was cold, petrified and alone

Before you came I was just one of those stones

Bridge

I was only dusty, worn-out and planless

Before you came, took me with you

Nobody needs to rescue me anymore

You already did that

Bridge

By coming

Taking me with you

Do you still know the place where I waited for you?

Side by side with the other stones I lay there

I was cold, without a home and alone

Before you came, I was just one of those stones

I was so dust-covered before you found me

You set me in motion, finally gave me fresh drive

I was cold, petrified and alone

Before you came, I was just one of those stones

Without a home and alone

Just one of those stones

Do you still know the place where I waited for you?

SONG MEANING

Einer Dieser Steine paints a vivid picture of a man who feels as lifeless and forgotten as a dusty stone on the roadside. Sido describes years of hardship, loneliness, and emotional “weathering,” comparing himself to a cold, rough rock lying among countless others. Night after night he sinks into despair, convinced he is just one of many—unnoticed, unwanted, and weighed down by past mistakes.

Everything changes when a caring person appears, “compass” in hand, and chooses his stone. Instead of tossing it back into the sea, this person sees hidden beauty, polishes it, and offers it a warm place in the heart. The song’s core message is the transformative power of love and acceptance: a single act of belief can turn someone from a discarded pebble into a valued gem. It is an anthem of hope that reminds listeners their true worth can shine the moment someone takes the time to look a little closer.
