3 Millionen Schatten [English translation]

Even the light in the fridge is no longer on,

I imagine that every head was just a collar with a face.

What then remains are silhouettes,

I imagine how they bend and chain themselves to their shadows.

We try to force ourselves through shadows that we cast ourselves, and force ourselves also to jump, but it doesn't want us to succeed. 1

It’s not fair, this city casts more, more than three million shadows.

It’s not fair, this city casts more, more than three million shadows

And we try to find ourselves, we try to find ourselves,

It’s so difficult, we’re only two out of more, more than three million blind people.

Night after night, I go for a spin around the wanderlust tower,

And image that I was somewhere else, but in this beauty, I find it hard to say goodbye.

We are stubborn, obstinate, improbably disunited -

And don’t know why

Imagine – I imagine it kills me.

It’s not fair, this city casts more, more than three million shadows

It’s not fair, this city casts more, more than three million shadows.

And we try to find ourselves, we try to find ourselves,

It’s so difficult, we’re only two out of more, more than three million blind people.

Loneliness isn’t a sacrifice anymore.

I present to you as if every word had no importance,

that every door and every window was shadow-proof,

And there’s no longer a light on in the fridge.

It’s not fair, this city casts more, more than three million shadows

It’s not fair, this city casts more, more than three million shadows

And we try to find ourselves, we try to find ourselves,

It’s so difficult, we’re only two out of more, more than three million blind people.

1. Switched the order around here so that it made more sense. The direct translation is "We try to force ourselves, but it doesn’t want us to succeed, through shadows that we cast ourselves, and force ourselves also to jump."
