Discover the story of the song > Festhalten – Alin Coen Band

The protagonist is holding her partner in her arms and feeling his warm breath on her neck. She wonders if she loves him or just likes him, and why her feelings are not balanced. She is confused about her own emotions and tries to remain cool, but also enjoys looking into his eyes and can't understand herself. When she sees him crying, she stays silent and wonders why, although she thinks he is wonderful. She realizes she is charmed by him, as long as his closeness doesn't overwhelm her. Unfortunately, she doesn't feel the same way as he does and struggles with opening up. She doesn't know how to change that, so she continues to hold him and look at him, even though she can't understand herself. She feels bad for not being able to reciprocate his emotions.
