Auf Beiden Beinen feels like a heartfelt conversation between a young adventurer and a worried loved one. LOTTE sings with a mix of courage and tenderness, telling the listener: “Don't worry about me, I've got this.” She pictures herself in a protective suit, ready to collect only a few scratches while she learns to fly on her own. The repeated image of being pushed out of the nest but landing “on both feet” captures the exciting leap from dependence to independence, all while carrying the mentor’s rhythm in her heartbeat.
Under the sunny beat of the song, LOTTE reassures that distance does not erase connection. She promises she’ll keep the other person’s smile, advice, and pulse alive inside her, even if she doesn’t call every day. The message is both empowering and comforting: growing up means testing your wings, yet true bonds remain safely tucked in the heart. The track is a lively anthem for anyone setting out on their own path while cherishing the people who helped them get there.
