Ich Und Mein Prinz
Rosenstolz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ich brauche Dich wenns dunkel ist
ich brauche Dich bei Schnee
ich brauche Dich wenns kalt gar ist
denn Regen tut mir weh

Ich nehm Dich mit
und fang Dich ein
Du tust mir gut

Du musst schon bei mir sein

Ich und mein Prinz
ich brauch ihn immer wenn die Sonne nicht scheint
ich und mein Prinz
er deckt mich zu wenn die Seele mal weint

Ich brauche Deine Engelshaut,
ich brauche Deinen Kuss
wir treffen uns im dunklen Wald
und schwimmen durch den Fluss
dann zeigst Du mir Dein Königreich
Dein großes Herz macht meine Sorgen weich

Wir treffen uns nur manches Mal
denn ewig wär zuviel
wir lieben uns dann jedesmal
auf immer geht das Spiel

dann kühlst Du meinen blanken Nerv
mein kleines Herz es wird auf einmal weich

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rosenstolz's song 'Ich Und Mein Prinz' talk about the singer's relationship with their 'prince', who they need in times of darkness, cold and rain. The singer takes comfort in their prince, who they catch and hold onto, knowing that he is good for them and they need him in their life. The lyrics also mention the prince's angelic skin and kisses, and how they meet in the dark woods and swim through the river together. The prince shows the singer his kingdom and his big heart, which softens their worries. While they only meet occasionally, their love for each other is strong and they play the game of loving each other every time they meet. The prince cools their nerves and softens their heart.

The song is a metaphor for a relationship in which one person is dependent on the other for emotional support, love and stability. The singer refers to the person they rely on as their ‘prince’, painting an image of someone who is strong, regal and protective. The lyrics suggest that the singer needs their 'prince' to feel safe and comforted in the face of life's difficulties. However, the song also implies that the relationship is not entirely perfect, as the two can only meet occasionally and the love is fleeting.
