Spiegelbild [English translation]

I'd give my life for one more night

The pain of my wounds keeps me awake

I bathe in tears, talk myself deaf

You are in my veins like burning dust

You permeate deep into my pores

You penetrate into my wounds and leave me alone

Each wave exhausts me, each word escalates*

Each conciliatory gesture ably ignored

I burn in misery; I do it for you

Each new endeavour is a hit in the face

We forgive ourselves for nothing even after all this time

And not much remains for us from the past

Look at us only in the reflection

Say, what has happened?

Why must we hate ourselves?

Look at us only in the reflection

Say, can you still see us?

Or have the wounds hurt for too long?

I burn my life into your skin

Dive into the incisions, cut you out

Time heals all wounds, or so they say

Why then do I still love you now?

Look at us only in the reflection

Say, what has happened?

Why must we hate ourselves?

Look at us only in the reflection

Say, can you still see us?

Or have the wounds hurt for too long?

Say, can you still see us?

Why does it hurt so badly?

Look at us only in the reflection

Say, what has happened?

Why must we hate ourselves?

Look at us only in the reflection

Say, can you still see us?

Or have the wounds hurt for too long?
