Stars [English translation]

Stars, what even are stars?

They come and go

And then that's it or maybe not

But what you see is just the light

And how it shines and how it beams

As if a master had painted them,

but his price won't be seen here.

Some young, and some old, and some have seen a lot

And still take off, as soon as they hit the canvas

Some ladies have bodies, that hypnotize the world

And their beloved swallow swords, close to dark

doors

Stars, what even are stars?

They are alone in depressing bars

Or cafes and they hide their face.

Who loves them does it for what they are in their dreams.

And their marriages mostly end in court.

Some already have gotten more than their hearts burned at it

And after one or the other will they later even rename a street.

And they talk like Marlene, late at night with Orson Wells

Only instead with the walls of their Marriot Hotel.

Some think of themselves as chosen and risk their neck.

Some people get lost and never quite come back

completely

Some dance over shards, some glide over ice.

To forever disguise, what no person knows of

them.
