Elaiza's songs combine all the different levels of creative energy Berlin has on offer: a sound which is melodramatic, happy, bitter sweet, funky and intimate all at once. The songs deal with the death of Ela´s father, relationship problems and heartfelt sadness. A picture of real life itself – direct, emotional and very authentic.

Elaiza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it right? Is it right?
He's got a pen in his hand
A piece of paper staring back
He could write like a man
A novel, life back on track
But still he doesn't know
The time is ticking in his ear
The holy silence disappears
Is it right or is it wrong?
I can't go on, you can't go on
If you say yes or even no
You don't know how and where to go
Is it right or is it wrong?
I can't go on, you can't go on
If you say yes or even no
You don't know how and where to go
Is it right? Is it right?
She turns over and looks to him
She tries to feel, she can't feel anything
But it's so hard to say goodbye
When you know that it's right
So when it's all not what you thought
And a friendship is not enough
When you long to feel alive
And the take the chance to give it up
Is it right or is it wrong?
I can't go on, you can't go on
If you say yes or even no
You don't know how and where to go
Is it right or is it wrong?
I can't go on, you can't go on
If you say yes or even no
You don't know how and where to go
I know it's not easy to decide
To find your own direction
Oh the risk is high
But you can't hide
Is it right? Is it right?
Is it right or is it wrong?
I can't go on, you can't go on
If you say yes or even no
You don't know how and where to go
Is it right or is it wrong?
I can't go on, you can't go on
If you say yes or even no
You don't know how and where to go
Is it right or is it wrong?
I can't go on, you can't go on
The song "Is It Right" by Elaiza dwells on the theme of decision-making and the consequences that come with it. The lyrics speak of a person with a pen and paper trying to find his way back to a better life by writing a novel or a poem. However, the person is indecisive and unable to make a clear choice, thereby prompting the question "Is it right?" and "Is it wrong?" The lyrics further reveal that choosing between "yes" or "no" has its own consequences, and deciding what is right or wrong is not always the easiest thing to do.
The chorus of the song reflects on the fact that making a decision isn't always straightforward. If we say "yes" or "no," we may struggle to deal with the after-effects, and we'd be unsure of how and where to go next. The song then takes a turn as it introduces a character who is in a relationship that has lost its spark, and although she knows that it's time to say goodbye, she can't bring herself to do it. It's a catch-22 situation that many people find themselves in often.
The song uses the rhetorical question "Is it Right" as a way of reflecting on a common human dilemma. Decision-making is not always easy, and the fear of what comes next can be paralyzing. The song speaks of knowing that a situation is not right, yet finding it difficult to make a choice. It touches on themes like love, loss, and self-discovery, making it relatable to people in different situations.
