Humans

Humans in cities,
Humans at sea,
Humans in the sky,
Humans in the snow
 
Humans are noble
Humans are good
Are humans noble?
Are humans good?
 
Humans are warriors
Conquering the area
Humans are stupid
Deifying the clown
 
Humans are useful,
Very meticulous
Humans are artificial,
Actually animalistic
 
Man, let’s be animals
Simply wild and free
Man, let’s be here
The animal loses its shyness
 
Humans in rhythm
Humans in beat
Under their clothes
They dance naked
 
Humans are vain,
Humans are pure,
Some depraved,
Some mean.
 
(Humans, humans, humans)
(Humans, humans, humans)
 
Humans are greedy
Humans are shy
Some perverse
Others faithful
 
Humans are simply
So beautifully complicated
In human form
The animal vegetates
 
Man, let’s be animals
Simply wild and free
(Man, let us…)
(Man, let us…)
Man, let’s be here
The animal loses its shyness

Simply wild and free

It Is...

I know
love is hard to find.
You complain -
we can't depend on it,
it can't be trusted.
I know
love is the language of the heart.
You say
we shouldn't listen to it.
 
But
it's like the night fire that burns within me forever.
It's like water so clear that you can recognize yourself.
It's like air full of dreams given by the wind.
It's much more than just a friend.
 
I know
love knows no doubt.
You think
we have to be careful with it
so we don't regret it later.
I know
love makes us all shine.
You believe
it's only for a short time.
 
But
it's like the night fire that burns within me forever.
It's like water so clear that you can recognize yourself.
It's like air full of dreams given by the wind.
It's much more than just a friend.

Much Too Soon

Versions: #1
The wind blows gently through the leaves
Just a breeze
I can feel it
I notice it
It embraces me tenderly
It touches me
But ever so softly
 
The fall presents itself to me like a picture
Full of feeling
And longing
So beautiful
All is quiet
And the day
Passes
Without you
 
One lonely year goes by
It seems
Like a dream
And it's night time
And I never ever wake up
And it never ends
Never leaves me
Because you're gone
 
You once said, that life
Is unfair
But tell me
Why
Did it take you from me?
Much too soon
Leaving me here
Without you
 

Summer

Write
your name,
write
it into reality.
 
For every moment
in which the coldness of the night grips me,
your hand is freed and in the struggle,
summer fades away with you.
 
Far,
unimaginably
far
into infinity.
 
A small dot, a white light
appears
from the past
and as if in a dream, summer awakens.
 
See how the birds
flee to warm lands
and every day loses strength.
 
And when the rain falls
on the face of the world,
then summer gently leaves me behind.
 
Cold,
it's slowly growing
cold.
Every step goes unheard
in the darkness.
 
Lonely
like cries in the forest
and the way it felt in summer.
 
Listen to time fading away
as the wind turns
and every day loses strength.
 
And when the rain falls
on the face of the world,
then summer gently leaves me behind.
 
See how the birds
flee to warm lands
and every day loses strength.
 
Listen to time fading away

and every day loses strength.
 

Still

Versions: #1
I saw the moon last night.
In the Sea of Tranquility I lay awake, dreaming,
and felt the coldness here.
I think I miss you.
I miss you
still.
 
We used to come here together
and we turned to face the stars
until you were overcome with homesickness.
I think I miss you.
I miss you
more and more.
 
Whoever you're loyal to,
please don't do it.
Whoever you're looking at,
you'd better take a good look.
Wherever you fall asleep,
don't turn around.
Whatever you're up to,
I'll be with you,
I'll stay with you
still.
 
It's not over
just because I have to wake up at some point.
This still won't be the end
because I miss you.
Yes, I miss you
still.
 
Whoever you're loyal to,
please don't do it.
Whoever you're looking at,
you'd better take a good look.
Wherever you fall asleep,
don't turn around.
Whatever you're up to,
I'll be with you,
I'll stay with you
still.
 

Just Like That

Don't drive south
if you still want to see me.
Silence betrays
what you think.
I don't like the old ways anymore,
just like that.
 
Don't open doors
you don't actually want to go through.
Some things are risked too quickly
and many things just remain meaningless.
 
There are things
that end quietly
out of nowhere,
just like that.
 
Never play with tears
you can't even feel.
In silence, the picture gets distorted.
No one gives you that much passion
just like that.
 
Don't search for words
if you can't explain it.
Some things are said too quickly
and many things are often just uninspired.
 
There are things
that end quietly
out of nowhere,
just like that.
 

Kingdom of Glass

She already knows the procedure.
She guesses what they'll ask her:
'Why did you do this?'
 
They get her the person
who thinks he understands,
who's never seen anything like it,
and she just wants
to get out of here.
 
Somewhere in her world
lies a kingdom of glass.
She dances her last dream
there in the kingdom of glass.
 
He's been talking for hours,
her heart is racing, she feels the cold sweat
running off her skin.
He knows nothing of pain,
he doesn't know what it means
when you can't defend yourself
and can only try to escape
from here.

Silence

Silence

a human trace
on the sand

I can barely even stand.
I already have so much.
But you don't want to go.

In Circles

Tell your little ones where you've all gone.
Old men stand before me, time holds them captive.
 
Tell your little ones why none of you laugh anymore.
Old women stand before me, their lives were so difficult.
 
No playing and no screaming here, man suffers only for himself.
On the day when hope leaves, the circle closes for you.

Everything About You

The last day seems so peaceful
in the evening's red sunset.
The gentle touch
makes me feel sensual.
For the moment everything's fine,
but nothing will be the way it was,
but nothing will be the way it was.
 
You talk about the future
for both of us.
Haven't you noticed
you're just talking about yourself?
Just you alone.
And I've gone too far away.
 
All you are is a vision.
Nothing you have belongs to you anymore.
 
Everything about you is illusion,
everything about you.
 
Not too far from here,
a part of me dies
because I know
you'll pay the price for it.
 
Your world seems so artificial,
perfect and trivial.
Behind the façade, it's clear
how your
ego plagues you.
Basically, you don't care about me.
Basically, you don't care about me.
 
You say you love me
if I follow,
but we're far beyond that.
You love only yourself,
just you alone,
and I've learned from that.
 
Everything about you is illusion,
everything about you.
 
Not too far from here,
a part of me dies.
Watch out
because I know
you'll pay the price for it
tonight.

The Blue Planet

Is our world dancing with itself in delirium?
Does our luck lie only in the play of the neutrons?
 
Will this kiss and the word I gave you yesterday
be the last?
Will dust and rock just be burnt out our whole time
on Earth?
 
No God is helping us maintain our world.
 
Will nothing but a curse and a scream fly through the darkness tomorrow morning at half past two?
Does this kiss and the word I gave you yesterday have
to be the last?
Should our child, who doesn't know the world yet,
remain unborn for all time?
 
No God is helping us maintain our world.
 

Welcome

Welcome to Earth!
We've booked a trip for you
in a nice atmosphere,
a little bit warm, quite well attended.
Between the Stone Age and modern times,
there's always something to do.
Welcome to Earth!
 
Welcome to Earth,
between love, lust and strife,
to the cosmos of feelings,
to the blue club of finiteness.
Arisen for the future,
much has already been achieved.
Much has already been achieved.
 
Welcome!
Welcome!
Welcome!
Welcome!
 
Welcome to Earth,
the ejection seat of time.
Clay, stones, shards,
everything will be as it is.
To the left, it goes down,
to the right, it goes left,
welcome to Earth!
 
Welcome to Earth,
the divine plan of creation is wobbling.
The scholars argue over
what's real, what's sick.
Casually, they shoulder guns,
put their kids up against the wall.
Welcome to Earth.
 
(Welcome!)
(Welcome!)
Everything will be as it is,
(Welcome!)
for your safety.
 
Welcome to Earth,
last orbit in the solar system.
Only the stars know the next one.
Who knows if we'll see each other again?
As long as they play our songs
and your body moves.
Welcome to Earth!
 
(Welcome!)
(Welcome!)
(Welcome!)
 
Welcome to your life,
we've booked the trip for you.
No matter what some people say,
you just have to try.
Whether for or against,
it begins with a kiss.
 

Actually

This morning, it was
time for another one.
A simple question
led to the best argument ever.
With effortless ease,
we hopped, skipped and jumped
from one stick to another
and two answers later, we had cut up the whole forest.1
 
It's all about looking at the whole thing
with an eye for detail.
Just reload quickly
and then it's called 'fire away.'
 
Every word's like a blow
because it just sounds so logical,
and I'll keep shooting
till your boat finally sinks.
 
Actually, I just wanted to
enjoy the sunshine with you.
Instead, I'll douse my frustration
with alcohol.
 
I just can't, I just can't
I just can't get out.
I just can't, I just can't
I just can't get out of my skin.
 
Now I have my peace,
but unfortunately no quiet.
Do you really believe what you're saying?
Or have we blown things out of proportion?
Why do we have to hurt one another
when we actually still love each other?
Are we sadly so against each other,
or really not so different at all?
 
I still saw your tears,
true proof of your anger.
Then you said nothing more
and the door slammed in front of me.
 
Actually, I just wanted to
enjoy the sunshine with you.
Instead, I'll douse my frustration
with alcohol.
 
I just can't, I just can't
I just can't get out.
I just can't, I just can't
I just can't get out of my skin.
 

• 1. The idiom 'vom Hölzchen aufs Stöckchen kommen' means to digress from the topic, but it literally has to do with sticks, so the line about the forest and this whole sentence makes a lot more sense in German.

Live Out of the Ordinary

I don't believe in the blue, nor in miracles
I don't wear glasses, especially not rose-tinted ones1
Who wants to tell me what's true or false?
Do androids dream of electric sheep?2
I've decided, starting today, I can fly
Hover over rooftops, just watch you all,
watch what you're doing down there
 
Down there, where the dreamers live,
the world is too small.
I'd rather live out of the ordinary
I'm free up here
Down there, where the doubts are,
I'm not at home
I'd rather live out of the ordinary
You can be like that up here
 
I know no borders and no fences
Nobody trips me, because I never fall
Flying is easy, even you can learn it
Climb a mountain, just jump alongside it
You don't have to believe me, you have to experience it
Only those who dare will stand out from the rest
And maybe look down
 
Down there, where the dreamers live,
the world is too small.
I'd rather live out of the ordinary
I'm free up here
Down there, where the doubts are,
I'm not at home
I'd rather live out of the ordinary
You can be like that up here
 

• 1. In both languages, this refers to an idiom 'to wear rose-tinted glasses,' which means to see things in an overly idealistic or optimistic way
• 2. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? is the title of a science fiction novel by Philip K. Dick.

Longing

A thousand gazes look at you, and even I can't resist
I look at you, I wonder when both of us can be together again
His lips kiss you, and even I wouldn't resist
I think about you, I imagine you and me
And the world revolving around us
 
I'm longing
I'm longing for you
I was longing
 
Like a child that cries in the darkness
And screams into the silence
 
Like a child that cries in the darkness
And screams into the silence
 
A new day full of confidence and I didn't want to
resist
I forgot your face, no more thoughts of you can exist
 

Brother

We snip a piece of remembrance
From eternity
 
And cast one last look
At the colorless background
 
We didn't follow the path of light
Back into the twilight
 
And in the space of a second
Our path opened up to another dimension.
 
To freedom, brother!
To the light, brother!
And out from the maws of before
Our future bursts forth!
 
To freedom, brother!
To battle, brother!
And from the ashes1 of the past
Rises our future!
 
We once etched a life devoid
To the beat of lethargy.
 
We've been given one last chance
As the heavens cry out.
 
We climb up onto the highest point
That the Earth has bestowed upon us.
 
And with open arms
We welcome in the new dimension.
 
To freedom, brother!
To the light, brother!
And out from the maws of before
Our future bursts forth!

Dream of a child

I close my1 eyes in the land of souls
Open up tonight to torment me
 
Do you know the pain when we touch
From the past I can feel you2
 
Look into my heart because it is still crying
Dream of a child
Hold me tight
Dream of a child
 
Guide me to the light because it still shines
Dream of a child
Hold me tight
Dream of a child
 
The time of separation destroys my happiness
The illusion of eternity will never return to us
 
Look into my heart because it is still crying
Dream of a child
Hold me tight
Dream of a child
 

• 1. lit. 'the eyes' - sounds a bit uncommon in English
• 2. There's a small mistake in the lyrics, it should be 'kann ich dich spüren'.
