Im Gegenwind [English translation]

I never know exactly whether I’m coming or going

Is it me or life (itself) that lays these stones in my way?

Say, is time working1 for or against me?

I know it, know it only now and then

Do I carry (my) head too low2 or a little too high?

Does gravity pull me under, or is it (the only thing) holding me on the ground?3

I am for it and not against it

I, I run against the wind4

And it never stops

No matter how far I run

It has never been5 different

But I’m scared it will never change6

I can still stand

But I can’t do it alone for much longer7

Am I really treading new paths or (were they) the old ones all along?8

Have I found my north or lost the way?9

Put on hope because that way10 it won’t die

I run onwards against the wind

And it never stops

No matter how far I run

It has never been different

But I’m scared it will never change

I can still stand

But I can’t do it alone for much longer

And it never stops

No matter how far I run

It has never been different

But I’m scared it will never change

I can still stand

But I can’t do it alone for much longer

And around me nothing but darkness

I’ve run so far, so far from home

Deep inside me, so much loneliness

That’s what I needed

I close (my) eyes

I miss you

Oh, I miss you

And I close (my) eyes

But I run against the wind

And it never stops

No matter how far I run

It has never been different

But I’m scared it will never change

I can still stand

But I can’t do it alone for much longer

I can’t do it alone for much longer

I can still stand

But I can’t do it alone for much longer
