Mein Leben ist monoton Lyrics English Translation by Betterov & Provinz
[Betterov]
In front of my house, they’re digging up an old bomb
Right there, right in front of my house
It lay there peacefully for all those decades
Sleeping, day in and day out
I stood there every day, waiting for the tram
I was sure that in my life, less than nothing would happen (Nothing, nothing)
And I didn’t quite realize (Ah, ah-ah) that every day was my last
[Betterov]
Thought my life was monotonous
Yet there was something happening every day
Every day, a bomb went off
Beneath me, it didn’t explode
[Provinz]
Why have I never jumped out of an airplane?
Flying always looks exciting from below
Defying gravity for a brief moment
Just to see how it feels, then I’ll come back
Who knows how many bombs we narrowly escaped? (Ah)
Maybe I’m standing on one right now ([Yeah]?)
Stacked up *** but lived low (Yeah)
Only flying when there’s something to smoke
[Provinz]
And I thought my life was monotonous, yeah
Yet there was something happening every day
Every day, a bomb went off
Beneath me, it didn’t explode
[Betterov & Provinz]
But on TV, they said
There’s no acute danger
And everyone could soon return to their old lives
But what if I don’t want that?
I slowly feel
I’m finally motivated
With a bomb beneath me
