Paul Kalkbrenner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the nighttime
When the world is at it's rest
You will find me
In the place I know the best
Dancin', shoutin'
Flyin' to the moon
'cause I'll be come back soon
Chorus
And we build up castles
In the sky and in the sand
Design our own world
Ain't nobody understand
I found myself alive
In the palm of your hand
As long as we are flyin'
All this world ain't got no end
Verse two
In the daytime
You wil find me by your side
Tryin' to do my best
And tryin' to make things right
When it all turns wrong
There's no fault but mine
But it won't hit hard
'cause you let me shine
Chorus (2x)
And we build up castles
In the sky and in the sand
Design our own world
Ain't nobody understand
I found myself alive
In the palm of your hand
As long as we are flyin'
This world ain't got no end
The lyrics of Paul Kalkbrenner Feat Mika's song Sky And Sand happyEnding seem to express a feeling of freedom and possibility. The first verse talks about the night time, which is often seen as a time of freedom, when people can do what they want without being watched or judged. The place he knows best is one where he can dance and shout, and he can fly to the moon. This is a metaphor for feeling free and unrestricted, and not worrying about what others think. Even though he might be away for a while, he will always come back.
The chorus is all about building castles in the sky and sand, which is another metaphor for creating your own world and living in it. The world created is one that nobody understands because it is unique to them. They have found themselves alive in the palm of someone's hand, which can be interpreted as finding meaning and purpose in someone or something that they care about. As long as they keep flying, the world has no end and there are no limits to what they can imagine.
In the second verse, the emphasis shifts to the daytime, which is often more structured and controlled than the nighttime. Despite this, he is still by the side of someone he cares about, trying to do his best and make things right. Even when things go wrong, he takes responsibility for his mistakes and tries to make things better. He feels that he can shine when he is with this person, like he is free to be himself and express himself fully.
Overall, the lyrics of Sky And Sand happyEnding are about the freedom to be yourself and create your own world, as well as the importance of being with someone who supports and encourages you to do so.

In the nighttime
During the night when everything is quiet and peaceful
When the world is at its rest
When the world is asleep and still
You will find me
I am there waiting to be found
In the place I know the best
In a familiar place where I feel comfortable
Dancin', shoutin'
Having a great time dancing and shouting
Flyin' to the moon
Feeling like nothing can stop me
(you) don't have to worry
There's no need for concern
'cause I'll be come back soon
I'll be back before you know it
And we build up castles
Together we create something amazing
In the sky and in the sand
In our imaginations as well as in reality
Design our own world
Creating a perfect world for ourselves
Ain't nobody understand
No one else can comprehend what we have
I found myself alive
Being with you made me feel more alive
In the palm of your hand
You have full control over me
As long as we are flyin'
As long as we're together and having fun
All this world ain't got no end
Our wonderful world will never end
In the daytime
While the sun is up
You will find me by your side
I'll be there for you whenever you need me
Tryin' to do my best
I'm doing all I can to help
And tryin' to make things right
Correcting any mistakes or problems
When it all turns wrong
When things go awry
There's no fault but mine
I take responsibility for my actions
But it won't hit hard
I'm not too upset because I know you'll be there
'cause you let me shine
You allow me to be the best version of myself

Sky and Sand ist das einzige Lied das man sich immer und immer wieder anhören kann, ich bekomme so eine komische Stimmung beim anhören, ich bin glücklich und traurig zu gleich, ich bin verliebt in dieses Lied, ich bin verliebt in den Text, ich bin verliebt in die Melodie. Ein Meisterwerk der Musik. Ich verbinde damit so viel Erinnerungen, ob gut ob schlecht. Das Lied ist einfach ein Lied was verbindet. Ich bin 2003 geboren und mit diesem Mann aufgewachsen durch meinen Vater der sehr viel von Pauls Musik hält...das Lied verbindet uns irgendwie, leider gibt es in meinem Freundeskreis kaum Leute die bei dem Lied so fühlen, hoffentlich hat es jemand bis hier gelesen und fühlt das selbe...
Du bist toll so wie du bist!
An Paul: Es wäre mein größter Traum dich einmal zu treffen!!
Danke fürs lesen!! :)
Funfact: Ich heiße auch Paul :)

J'adore cette chanson. Pour moi tout y est, de la bonne musique, un peu de Berlin, un peut de Leipzig, un peu de BACH et un clin d’œil à la France.

@@maxwerth6641 Ich auch und ich fühle den Song so sehr. Da kommt immer irgendwie Nostalgie in mir hoch. Ich erinnere mich an alle Erfahrungen, die ich bisher gemacht habe, ob gut oder schlecht. Viele schöne Erfahrungen würde ich gerne noch mal erleben, während die schlechten Erfahrungen mich über die Jahre stark gemacht haben. Dieser Song ist, wie viele andere auch schon sagten eine emotionale Reise.

I was once driving in the car with this song blasting through the speakers. It was getting dark, I looked around and on my left side the sky was as dark as possible, while on my right side it was still pretty light. Felt like splitting day and night, literally. Gave me goosebumps all over while this song was on. Felt amazing! Every song is a masterpiece though, but this one feels special. Makes me think back in time about all memories made. So much love.
