Astronaut [English translation]

I lift off, nothing's holding me down

Everything pale and grey

I haven't flown in too long

like an astronaut

We walk around having it up to here, heads are empty

Sit up to the neck in garbage, have holes in our heart

Drowning worries and problems in the cup full of wine

With a smile of stone, we can't come up with anything better

We've already forgotten tomorrow, who we were yesterday

We've eaten ourselves full, never forget to pay

Leave everything standing and lay for more ash and dust

We all want it to work but we're not paying attention

The voice of reason has been silenced, we can't hear it anymore

But we sometimes have the feeling that we don't belong here

There is no forwards or back anymore, only below and above

One from 100 million, a small speck on the ground

I lift off

I lift off, nothing's holding me down

Everything pale and grey

I haven't flown in too long

like an astronaut

I see the world from above

The rest pales in grey

I lost time and space up here

like an astronaut

In the dark of night, everything's so peaceful up here, but down there it's kicking off

We all contribute, but break under the load

We hope for God, but missed the miracle,

We build ever-higher until it reaches infinity

Almost 8 billion people, but the humanity is missing

From up here, suddenly none of it matters,

From up here you can't see borders or the color of skin

Nothing dulls the racket, I can't hear you all anymore

I'm slowly getting the feeling that I belong here

There is no forwards or back anymore, only below and above

One from 100 million, a small speck on the ground

I lift off!

I lift off, nothing's holding me down

Everything pale and grey

I haven't flown in too long

like an astronaut

I see the world from above

The rest pales in grey

I lost time and space up here

like an astronaut

Oho oho oho

like an astronaut

And at the sight of this beauty, I remember everything again,

Are we not actually alive to love and to be

I'd love to stay here forever, but I'm just the blink of an eye

that's all I can be after 5 billion years

I lift off, nothing's holding me down

Everything pale and grey

I haven't flown in too long

like an astronaut

I see the world from above

The rest pales in grey

I lost time and space up here

like an astronaut

Oho oho oho

like an astronaut
