Ich Liebe (feat. Badchieff, Edo Saiya & Majan)

CRO's song 'Ich Liebe,' featuring Badchieff, Edo Saiya, and Majan, delves into the complex and often elusive nature of love. The lyrics open with a series of questions about the essence of love, reflecting a deep sense of uncertainty and introspection. The artist wonders if love is something that can be understood or if it is an eternal mystery. This uncertainty is further emphasized by the metaphor of writing a hundred songs about someone, yet still not fully grasping what love truly means. The imagery of 'green grass covering problems' suggests that love can sometimes mask underlying issues, only for them to resurface later.

The song also explores the concept of eternity and the fear of commitment. The lyrics mention that 'forever is still too long' to promise that things will remain the same, highlighting the transient nature of emotions and relationships. The artist grapples with the idea that while eternity sounds beautiful, it is an overwhelming and perhaps unrealistic expectation. This is juxtaposed with the notion that 'falling' and 'losing' can be subjective experiences, where one person's loss is another's gain. The recurring theme of searching for meaning and the futility of this quest is evident in lines like 'your life searches in vain for a meaning.'

In the final verses, the song takes a more personal turn, reflecting on the passage of time and the impact of past relationships. The artist mentions friends who have drifted away and the numerous goodbyes that have been said. The lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia and longing for simpler times, yet also acknowledge the inevitability of change. The metaphor of 'a full house but an empty bed' poignantly captures the loneliness that can accompany even the most crowded of lives. Ultimately, the song concludes with a realization that love requires courage, a quality the artist feels they currently lack. This admission of vulnerability adds a layer of authenticity to the song, making it a relatable exploration of love's complexities.
