The song is an ode to love ("Wenn nur die Liebe zählt" - When only love matters), as it describes, how one can go through anything and suffer a lot for love, also give up any memories for it.
Music video
The music video was directed by Ralf Schmerberg. It shows the band performing the song in a room in a city building. Also the streets outside are shown, which are overflowing with police, as the video was shot a while after the September 11 attacks.
