We're fighting still fighting
Repeating history
All right then it's all right if
You don't think like me
But your problem is my problem
Don't you feel the ricochet?
If we turn against each other
That's not a game we wanna play

Who am I who are you who are we? All human beings
Who am I who are you who are we? What do you see?

If you you see my iD, iD, iD
I'm more than a passport I'm unique
See my iD iD iD
You can be you and I'll be me
If you you see my iD, iD, iD
I see it in your fingerprint you're unique
See your iD, iD, iD
You can be you and I'll be me

I'm hopin' you're open to understand me
You know I'm outspoken no hidden plan B
It's not cool to know, that your house could be your grave
Spread love amongst each other
And we can watch the children play

Who am I who are you who are we? All human beings
Who am I who are you who are we? What do you see?

If you you see my iD, iD, iD
I'm more than a passport I'm unique
See my iD, iD, iD

Let me see your iD, iD, iD
I see it in your fingerprint you're unique

You can be you
And I'll be me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jeanette Biedermann's "iD" are a call for unity and acceptance of diversity. The first verse talks about the ongoing struggle to break free from the cycle of prejudice and hostility that has plagued society for ages. The singer acknowledges that people are entitled to have different opinions and beliefs, but at the same time, they need to understand that their actions have a ripple effect that can hurt others. The second verse invites listeners to reflect on their identity and what makes them unique. The chorus emphasizes that identity goes beyond what is written on a passport or ID card – it is a combination of individual traits and experiences that make people who they are. The bridge suggests that true understanding and harmony can only be achieved through genuine communication and mutual respect.

The song's message is a reminder that we should celebrate diversity and recognize that we all have something valuable to contribute, regardless of our background, race, or ideology. It encourages listeners to practice empathy and compassion and to build bridges instead of walls. The metaphor of the ID emphasizes the idea that everyone has a unique identity that deserves respect and recognition.
