Drei Sekunden throws you straight into the after-dark streets of Berlin, where Céline and Paula Hartmann trade verses like urgent diary entries. Over a moody beat they list every tiny self-defence ritual a woman knows by heart: keys between fingers, hoodie up, no ponytail to grab, location sharing on. Their vivid images turn the everyday walk home into a thriller and expose how quickly a casual night out can slide into harassment, blame games and fear.
The title hints at the chilling statistic that somewhere, every three seconds, a woman experiences violence or intimidation. The song asks listeners - especially men - “Was weißt du davon?” (“What do you know about that?”), challenging anyone who has never felt this constant alertness to imagine it. Rather than wallow in despair, the track shines a light on solidarity: shared stories, sisterly warnings, and the fierce refusal to accept that any of this is “normal.” It is both a haunting anthem and a call for empathy, urging us to turn those three seconds into real change.
