  General Comment:"Eckstein, eckstein, alles muss versteckt sein" is a nursery rhyme children sing when playing hide and seek. It's an idiom, that's why it translates funny.
  "Sta:ndig ruf ich deinen namen, Sta:ndig such ich dein gesicht" is what you do during a hide and seek game.
  Masterchiefaph pretty much has it, I believe.

  Song Meaning:I heard, that the song is about a story, happening in France. There were children who killed grown-up people just for fun. In the music-video you can see children faces changing into monster faces and that shows the souls dark side ofe the children.

  General Comment:I got the impression, combined with the music video, that it's more about a killer that hides in public. That, and I get the vibe of changelings off it in that respect as well, especially with the video and the "flashes" to what the kid's actually are which to me have the air of a glamour failure.

  General Comment:i guess it's about an ambivalent relationship between two people. he wants to find her, probably he feels like dying without her: "Ständig ruf ich deinen namen
  Ständig such ich dein gesicht" (="I'm always calling your name
  I'm always looking for your face")
  but at the same time he wants to harm her (revenge?): "Wenn ich dich dann endlich habe
  Spielen wir wahrheit oder pflicht" (="When I finally have you
  We'll play truth or dare ")
  (but the lyrics don't show if it's about a woman. i guess it's basically about the feelings that you have when you like an trust someone and then he/she does something bad to you. then you have very ambivalent feelings about revenge.)

  General Comment:What's the cornerstone thing though? Seems like there's another meaning behind that. Or is Eckstein just a convenient rhyme?
