Dreckig & Gemein

The streets are always more honest than any lecture – there's no need for long explanations here, because everything is clear from the very first seconds. The world around us is cold, dirty and, in general, unfair: some people play poker with bad cards, while others simply place a glass on someone else's grave. The rules are simple - ‘every man for himself’ - and it's best not to forget that.

But amid all this noise, there is a strange steadfastness. Yes, life often hits you in the face, and the crowd rarely gives you a chance to get back up. But every stone under your feet can be turned into a weapon, every scar into armour. And even if the cold penetrates to the bone, inside you are still warmed by the thought: you can survive. Even when everything looks dirty and too ‘gemein’.
