Im Schneckenhaus [English translation]

I haven't any self-pity, much too seldom I have pity on you

The last bridge is blown, the last border in sight

Among hundreds of people, I feel alone anyhow

Standing surrounded by invisible walls, I feel safe, but small,

I'm lost in existence

Arrived five minutes ago, I feel like going

Didn't get that stupid job, but actually it was the only one I wanted

Miss warmth in winter and snow in summer

It doesn't attract my attention any more, when I'm walking in sunshine,

standing in the sunlight

When heaven breaks, promises me so much

Doubts arise in me, I've experienced that, I've already been here

And when I spend the most beautiful time, I don't miss anything,

I haul ass and run away

I'm much too lazy, nevertheless I run too fast

I've plenty of darkness in me during the day, at night I shine much too bright

I've still so much to say, but can't find the right words

I just would like to come home and it carries me far away,

the distance becomes longer and longer

When heaven breaks, promises me so much

Doubts arise in me, I've experienced that, I've already been here

And when I spend the most beautiful time, I don't miss anything

I haul ass and run away

Now my world stands still, since Thursday evening

Please open my eyes and hug me

Respirator and heart defribrilator, suddenly the world turned much too fast for me

Upward to an unknown country

And what seemed to be important, I've written it down

I've been in misery so often, looking back I'm laughing myself to death

Cause it's eating me up/devouring me, I'm missing you so much

Believe me, it isn't worth it.

When you spend your most beautiful time and you don't miss anything anymore,

then open your eyes.......
