The debut named "Tybalt" is a compilation of the best tracks written in the first three years of their band history and was very well received in the electronic music scene. 1995 the follow-up album "Concrete Ground" saw the light of day contributing to their reputation of fine synth-pop craftsmen and witty songwriters. After a change of record label in 1996 their break-through album "Nightfall" was released featuring the club-filler "Im Innern Einer Frau". Produced by José Alvarez ("Wolfsheim", "De/Vision") this collection of electro-pop gems is still one of their best-known and most popular albums in Europe as well as the Americas, only to be topped by their album "Truth" in 1997. This release is best known for the single "Another World", which received airplay in Europe and was popular in many synth pop and industrial music nightclubs in Europe and the United States.

Members of the group include:

* Stefan "Till" Tillmann, composing, synthesizers, drums
* Michael B. Wagner, composing, synthesizers, homepage
* Stefan Netschio, lyrics, vocals

The word Beborn doesn't mean anything in particular, while Beton is the German word for concrete, which the band explains refers to the urban environment they grew up in.

The Colour Of Love
Beborn Beton Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You take my nerves, you bring me sorrow
I reach out for a hatchet seeking entry
Your time is running out, there's no excuse

And after all you smile
You try in making fun of me
You're simply irresistible
The colour of your hair is the colour of love

Make me believe that
It all lies in our hands
And when you close your eyes for me
I seem to understand

I must admit I miss your smile
But all that lingers on is in my head
All that's left of you, memories

So I descend - le souterrain
And I tear down the wall that hides my love
You are still beautiful
The colour of your hair is the colour of love

Make me believe that
It all lies in our hands

And when you close your eyes for me
I seem to understand

You take my nerves, you bring me sorrow
You cause me immense anxiety and sadness

I reach out for a hatchet seeking entry
I desperately try to find a way to cope with my emotions

Your time is running out, there's no excuse
You can't continue to treat me poorly, time is running out for our relationship

And after all you smile
Despite everything, you still choose to pretend everything is okay

You try in making fun of me
You attempt to mock and belittle me

You're simply irresistible
Despite all of your flaws, I am still drawn to you

The colour of your hair is the colour of love
I associate the color of your hair with the intense emotions I have for you

Make me believe that
Convince me that there is hope for our relationship

It all lies in our hands
Our actions determine the fate of our relationship

And when you close your eyes for me
When you let your guard down with me

I seem to understand
I feel like I can grasp the true nature of our relationship

I must admit I miss your smile
I acknowledge that I miss the positive moments we shared together

But all that lingers on is in my head
Those memories are the only thing that remain with me

All that's left of you, memories
You have left, and all that remains are the memories we shared

So I descend - le souterrain
I metaphorically descend into my emotions

And I tear down the wall that hides my love
I let go of my defenses and open myself up to love

You are still beautiful
I continue to find you attractive and alluring
