Stadt Lyrics in English Cassandra Steen , Adel Tawil

Home / Lyrics Translation / Cassandra Steen / Stadt

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Stadt by Cassandra Steen from German to English.

There's so much, way too much

Ads everywhere

Too much bread and too much play

Luck's got no name

Every street is crowded

Cold images in our hearts

Nobody can read minds

The climate's getting milder

I'll build a city for you

Glass and gold turn to stone

And every road that leads out

Also leads back in

I'll build a city for you, and for me

Nobody knows what he looks like anymore

Or what his name is

Everyone here's on the run

The tears are made of ice

There has to be another way

This can't go on

Where do I find support, where do I find shelter

The sky is lead here

I won't answer anymore

To the wrong questions

Time's wasted at breakneck speed

And you gotta chase luck

I'll build a city for you

Glass and gold turn to stone

And every road that leads out

Also leads back in

I'll build a city for you

And for me

I'll build a city for you

Glass and gold turn to stone

Every road that leads out

Also leads back in

I'll build a city for you

And for me and for me

A city where there's no fear

Only trust

Where we tear down the walls of greed

And contempt

Where the light never goes out

The water clears

And every morning's dread

And the dream's worth it

And where every glance

Flows through time and space into our hearts

I'll build a city for you

Glass and gold turn to stone

Every road that leads out

Also leads back in

I'll build a city for you

And for me

I'll build a city for you

Glass and gold turn to stone

Every road that leads out

Also leads back in

I'll build a city for you

And for me

SONG MEANING

Stadt paints a vivid contrast between the overwhelming noise of modern life and the dream of a kinder world. The verses list everything that feels ‘too much’: flashing ads, crowded streets, ice-cold hearts, even a sky that seems made of lead. In this restless environment, people forget their own names and chase happiness that never stops moving. Yet, right in the middle of this chaos, the singers offer a bold promise: “Ich bau’ ne Stadt für dich” — they will build a brand-new city where every road that leads out also guides you safely home.

This imagined city is a metaphor for hope, belonging, and genuine human connection. It is made of glass (openness), gold (warmth), and stone (strength). Inside its walls there is no fear, only trust. Greed and contempt crumble, light never fades, and every tomorrow is worth waking up for. With this powerful vision, the song invites listeners to believe that a better place — whether it is a physical space or simply a state of mind — can be created together, brick by brick, verse by verse.
