Bitter
Nicole Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Eines Tages wirst du fragen, was vom Leben blieb
Was von all den Träumen wurde Wirklichkeit
Dann findest du im Herz die Spur
Einer bitter-süßen Zeit
Für immer jung
Erinnerung einer bitter-süßen Zeit
Na na na na na na na
Lachen und weinen war'n immer bloß die beiden Seiten des Glücks

Heimliche Träume ein kleiner Trost des verlor'nen Augenblicks
Manchmal schien die Liebe unerreichbar weit
Bis du hilflos untergingst in der Zärtlichkeit
Dann findest du im Herz die Spur
Einer bitter-süßen Zeit
Für immer jung
Erinnerung einer bitter-süßen Zeit
Na na na na na na na
Morgen war immer ein Neubeginn
Gestern war nie ganz vorbei
Irgendwo lag ein verborg'ner Sinn
Doch die Zeit gab ihn nicht frei
Manchmal hielt dich jemand in der Dunkelheit
Und du hast geglaubt, es ist für die Ewigkeit
Dann findest du im Herz die Spur
Einer bitter-süßen Zeit
Für immer jung

Erinnerung einer bitter-süßen Zeit
Na na na na na na na

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Bitter" by Nicole showcase the theme of reminiscence with a hint of bitterness. The song is about looking back on your life and realizing that your dreams and hopes may not have come true. One day, you will ask yourself what remains of your life and what became of your dreams. The heart holds the trail of a bittersweet time which was forever young in memories, filled with laughter and tears, the two sides of happiness. The song talks about how the secret dreams of the lost moments can provide solace for the lost ones, but the love and tenderness seemed far and unattainable until you found yourself sinking in it helplessly. The memories of those times are etched forever in the heart as the time was bittersweet and forever young.

The song also reflects on how time seems to hold a hidden meaning, and it is not entirely free. The memories keep playing in your head, but yesterday is never entirely behind you, and tomorrow always provides a new beginning. At times someone holds you in the darkness, and you believe it to be eternal, but the heart holds the trail of a time that was bittersweet, a memory of the past that remains forever young. Altogether, the lyrics paint a picture of nostalgia, and represents how life is sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet, but always worth looking back on to learn from the experiences.
