Seele brennt [English translation]

I am the subversive love

The "anti-sex"

Everyday brings me wounds

Though I am already

Scarred and totally smeared with blood

You start crying in the taxi

Just because I'm saying

That I'll be dead in two years

If I keep up consuming the way I do now

All idols must die (laughing)

My soul burns

I'm hiding, sitting in my hole

And I'm waiting for the dreams that save me (they don't come)

Love is a pyre

I'm slowly but surely burning on it

From the insides to the edge I'm burning

I have tasted

Have gone foo far

Don't get rid of the taste

Perhaps it's only an inflammation

Perhaps it's only an inflammation, this what keeps burning

In place of my soul

In the place where my soul lies

My soul burns

In place of my soul

In the place where my soul lies

My soul burns
