The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Schwarz Auf Weiß" by the artist "Yvonne Catterfeld"

In her song "Schwarz Auf Weiß" (Black on White), Yvonne Catterfeld portrays a complex relationship between two people struggling to connect due to walls of misunderstanding and unspoken feelings.

The lyrical heroine senses distance between herself and her partner: "You and I - between the lines, / Between meaningless words." They struggle to express their true feelings and thoughts, trapped in an atmosphere of secrecy and fear: "Between fears that we share, / Without realizing it."

The heroine feels that genuine intimacy is impossible without openness and honesty. She calls for patience and introspection: "Give yourself some time. / Wait until the chaos subsides / And the curtain rises." Only then can they speak their true feelings "black on white," without ambiguity or pretense.

The complexity of their relationship is further aggravated by each partner hiding their true self: "It's not easy to understand you, / Because your character is constantly changing." Instead of sincerity and openness, the characters only see masks and images that don't reflect their authentic selves: "Because we see one thing with our eyes, / And there's always someone in front of us, / Who we are not."

Ultimately, "Schwarz Auf Weiß" is a call for honesty, openness, and the courage to be vulnerable in a relationship. Only by overcoming the fear of vulnerability and learning to speak their feelings "black on white" can the characters achieve true intimacy and understanding.

Du und Ich — zwischen den Zeilen,

Zwischen Worten, die nichts sagen,

All' den Ängsten, die wir teilen

Ohne es gewusst zu haben,

All' den unausgesprochenen Fragen,

Zwischen Gedanken,

Die wir nur alleine haben.

Es ist nicht einfach die Dinge

Beim Namen zu nennen,

Wenn wir fühlen was wir fühlen,

Aber die Worte verschwenden

Stattdessen aber die Wut zu verdrängen,

Bis wir einander nicht mehr kennen.

Wie wär`s mit schwarz auf weiß?

Nimm dir etwas Zeit.

Wart' bis das Chaos sich legt

Und der Vorhang sich hebt

Und dann schreib mir von dem was bleibt –

Schwarz auf weiß.

Es ist nicht leicht dich zu verstehen,

Weil der Sinn sich ständig dreht,

Weil wir in unseren Augen

Und vor uns immer jemand sehen,

Der wir nicht sind –

Oh, weil nichts mehr stimmt.

Wie wär`s mit schwarz auf weiß?...
