Atme den Regen [English translation]

[Part 1]

The ceiling is falling down, my walls are getting closer,

It's time to change something again

No results for way too long, but days are getting longer

And longer, still haven't done anything to be proud about

Never got there, but still always started from the start again

My phone is ringing, but fuck it, I let it go to mailbox

My hood pulled low in my face, no desire to make eye contact

And the wind is cold, my eyes water up,

I'm dragging myself along more than I'm walking

There's a pressure on my shoulders,

The past is a heavy package

It pushes me deep into the swamp, why does everything fuck me over?

And none of my steps ever gets me forward,

'Cause without will, there also isn't any strength

My back against the wall, my head waiting to bust,

My blood wants to boil, filled with hatred

The sky is gray, the street is wet, but the rain cools me down

[Chorus]

The sky is gray, dark clouds open up

I breathe in the rain, bear this life

The sky is gray, it washes the dirt away from my skin

Only on days like this to my roots

Breaks the concrete wide open again

[Part 2]

Why does it hurt a lot more today than it usually does?

It was clear to me from which direction

The knife in my back was coming

The rain falls harder, my feet are stuck in concrete

Every single word in my mind

Only sounds like a sad song now

The wall is growing, the panzer locks itself away,

'Cause too much is simply to much

Dark gray are my feelings, just like the sky on days like these

My collar is too tight, and every breath difficult

This stabbing in my chest gets worse and worse every time

I just want to go away, forget the rest

How come half-full? 'Cause the glass is empty

Every dream is just wandering around dead here,

Dreamt dead in this no-man's-land

So what do I want here, where everything ruins what we still have?

I could explode from rage, but the rain cools me down

[Chorus] (x2)

[Bridge]

Too many crisis,

You see yourself lying on the ground

No love on days like these

The clouds break open,

Just like flowers out of the ground

So don't give up, up on days like these

[Chorus] (x2)
