sowas von da (hellwach) Lyrics English Translation by Casper
I am awake, so much here
Breathe shallow (Yes, yes), am soaked
Yes, my demons and I are wide awake
Find no sleep, because the past is chasing me
Want distance between me and what was
Everyone says (Yes): “Let go, let yourself fall
Let yourself fall, pull yourself together”
Toss and turn
Am I still or already awake?
Can’t keep up
Feel it rushing through my head
How many times until endless count?
I can’t see an end
I am awake, so much here
Breathe shallow (Yes, yes), am soaked
Yes, my demons and I are wide awake
And he asks me: “Are you not well?”
Asks me: “Are you sleeping enough?
Tell me, do you eat and live healthy?
Still so much to do?”
Feels my pulse, takes my blood
Attaches EKGs to my chest
Taps my lungs a hundred times
But finds no reason for my condition, ***
Man, I don’t need your work-life balance
No golf, no tennis, no McFIT gold card membership helps
Don’t need lifestyle wisdom from all your co-star messages
No weight blanket to save me, because I’m so at the end
I am awake
Please prescribe me something that helps
Because the thoughts don’t stop day and night
When I want distance from myself
I finally need something that helps
I am awake, so much here
Breathe shallow, am soaked
Yes, my demons and I are wide awake
I am awake, so much here
Breathe shallow, am soaked
Yes, my demons and I are wide awake
