Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ich Bin Ich by Glasperlenspiel from German to English.

You say, why are you so quiet

And you think I don't know what I want

You look at me with closed eyes

You'd get lost in my world

Come on, come on, come on

Take a closer look

I'm like this and this and this or that

Do you know who I really am

I'm me

I'm me in my own way

I'm me

Sometimes loud and sometimes quiet

Just one word and you think

You think you know me

Just one glance and you think

That you know who I am

I'm me

I'm me in my own way

You say, why do you laugh so loud

And you believe

You've already seen right through me

You ask the others, not me

Who am I then in your eyes

Come on, come on, come on

Take a closer look

I'm like this and this or that

Do you know who I really am

I'm me

I'm me in my own way

I'm me

Sometimes loud and sometimes quiet

Just one word and you think

You think you know me

Just one glance and you think

That you know who I am

I'm me

I'm me in my own way

Bridge

Breathless, crazy, serious

Never too late, I'm dazed

Totally clear, unloved, odd

I'm colorful, I'm gray

I'm day, I'm night

Bridge

I'm what you hate

And what you like

Bridge

Come on, come on, come on

I'm me

I'm me in my own way

I'm me

Sometimes loud and sometimes quiet

Just one word and you think

You think you know me

Just one glance and you think

That you know who I am

I'm me

I'm me in my own way

I'm me

I'm me in my own way

I'm me

SONG MEANING

Ever feel like people label you after just one look or a single word? Glasperlenspiel’s "Ich Bin Ich" turns that snap-judgment culture on its head. Through upbeat electro-pop vibes, the singer playfully tells everyone who thinks they "know" her to look again. Each verse lists contrasting traits—wild yet serious, colorful yet gray, beloved yet misunderstood—to remind us that real identity is a lively mix, never a fixed box.

The chorus becomes a bold mantra: "Ich bin ich auf meine Weise" (I am me, in my own way). It invites listeners to celebrate their quirks, volumes, and moods without apology. Whether you are loud today or quiet tomorrow, you are still authentically you. So crank up the song and let it pump confidence into your earbuds—it is a sonic pep-talk that says, "Accept every shade of yourself and don’t let anyone else draw your outline."
