- Intro
- In the intro, Fetch greets the listener and promises more melodies and more emotions. He also names the themes of the album (love, beer, power, war, beat & rap, respect, criticism, envy etc.). In the future, songs should be published on entire albums, there are no more 'half measures'.
- BRANDhärd
- This song is about the band themselves. The 1st verse is about Fierce, the 2nd about DJ Johny Holiday. The last verse is dedicated to the fans.
- Survival of the Stubborn
- This is a so-called battle track and is aimed against all haters and envious of Brandhärd.
- Lone fighter
- In the track 'Lone Fighter', Fetch raps about his unwanted lone fighter, who doesn't care about the opinion of the others. He appreciates the lonely moments as much as in the community.
- Gueti's face
- It is said here that it is better to speak your mind. The chorus is about how you don't like each other, but that you should both go your own way.
- Remember not ...?
- The song 'Merksch nid ...?' is about the end of a relationship. Fetch raps that nobody wants his love. At the end, he reminisces the scenes of his relationship.
- RIP
- This song is about the grief after the death of a very important person who left far too soon.
- Makes poison
- Fetch raps about abuse of power in "Macht isch Poison". He says that most fight for power and that it is an eternal contest. The socially critical text goes on to say that what matters is what you do with power.
- Set character
- The title track is about the change in the band's musical life after the breakthrough with Noochbrand . Both the positive and the negative sides of success are named.
- More cyt
- This song is about Fetch needing more time for everything. Time is the only thing he misses. In the stanzas he lists what he needs more time for. In the background you can hear Ciaccolo beatboxing.
- Start of the hunt
- Another track in the style of the battle rape .
- FAQ
- In this song Brandhärd expresses himself on the topics of money , groupies , media , freestyle , fans and hooder. There is now a stupid answer to every stupid question.
- Xplicit Contents
- Fetch and Mr. Complex rap about sex games because of the allegation that rap spoils children. The chorus is about how they love to shock with nonsense, here with sex in the lyrics.
- Magical
- This song is a song of praise to women. In it he asks her to remain magical, because life without her would be horrible. The last stanza is for his girlfriend.
- 7-sick
- In track 7-Sieche , Brandhärd and Stuuberocker present themselves as such. Siebensiech means something like 'exceptional type' in Swiss German.
- Film tear Pt. II
- This song is about alcohol. At the beginning Fetch can be heard snoring before being woken up by an alarm clock. He's had a long night in which a lot of alcohol was involved. He makes the way to the refrigerator with great difficulty.
- What s'Labe brings
- In the song, Fetch raps stories of people who have big problems in life. He ponders the meaning of life and appeals to people who see no meaning in life, that everyone has their life story and that nothing is in vain.
- Merci
- At the end of the CD Merci , which can be seen as a kind of outro, the band thanks all supporters for their support.

criticism
“With 'Zeiche setze' Brandhärd actually set an example: that club-compatible, solid hip-hop can also have substance in terms of content, for example. That even behind a brisk rhyme flow suitable for the masses, a refreshing rebellion against false encouragement can be heard [...] Musically, the album is convincing throughout the band, the partly crunchy-funky, partly soft beats harmonize perfectly with the subtle lyrics.
